Elementor & WordPress Bridge Theme

This website uses the WordPress theme “Bridge” and the page builder “Elementor”. These tools serve to optimize the layout, ensure responsive design (for mobile devices), and guarantee the error-free technical structure of the website. In doing so, technically necessary data (e.g., for the correct display of layouts and UI elements) is processed. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. External Links and Social Media

Link to External Shopify Shop

This website contains links to our external online shop, which is operated via the e-commerce platform Shopify (Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 1-2 College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland). This is a pure hyperlink. When you click these links, you leave our website and are redirected directly to Shopify’s platform. Only from this point forward will your data be processed by Shopify in accordance with their own privacy policy. Further information on data processing by Shopify can be found in their privacy policy: [https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy](https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

Social Media Links (Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube)

Links to social media networks are integrated into our website. These are simple hyperlinks (no social plugins that already transfer data to Meta, Google & Co. without asking when the page is merely loaded). Only when you actively click on the respective icon will you be redirected to the corresponding platform. From that point on, the data protection regulations of the respective operators apply.

6. Data Collection on Our Website

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there (e.g., name, email address), will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been completely processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Google Analytics

Provided you have given your consent via our cookie consent banner, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The legal basis for this processing is your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 165 Paragraph 3 of the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG 2021). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings (consent banner) on our website.

9. Embedded Media

YouTube (with Enhanced Data Protection Mode)

We embed videos from the platform YouTube on this website. The operator is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this prevents YouTube from storing data about visitors before they actively click on and watch the video. However, as soon as you start a YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our artworks. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent was requested via the cookie banner (e.g., for external media), activation takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Section 165 Paragraph 3 TKG 2021.
