Introduction
This Privacy Policy informs you about what personal data is processed when you visit and use the Kierkegaard Template as a service, for what purposes this is done, and what rights you have as a data subject. Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

1. Data Controller

The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation is:

Michael Lutterschmied
Kasernstraße 30a, 108
8010 Graz
m.lutterschmied@gmail.com

If you provide a data protection contact, this contact should be reachable and, ideally, used directly for questions regarding data processing.

2. Collection of Data

I generally do not actively collect any personal data through this portfolio and do not store any user data unless you contact me yourself. For example, if you write to me via email or through a contact form, the data you provide may be processed.

This data may include, in particular:

• Name

• Email address

• Content of your inquiry.

• time of your inquiry.

• Depending on the communication channel, additional voluntary information

3. Contact

When you contact me, I use the data you provide solely to process your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. This processing is generally based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided the inquiry relates to a pre-contractual measure or an existing relationship; otherwise, it is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR or your consent, if required.

Contact inquiries are stored only for as long as necessary to process your request.

4. Server-Logfiles

When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically collects information and stores it in so-called server log files. This typically includes:

• IP address

• Date and Time of access.

• Page or file accessed

• Referrer URL

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system

• Hostname of the accessing computer

This data is processed for technical reasons, in particular to ensure the operation, security, and stability of the website, and is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

5. Cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and can store or retrieve certain information. Under Austrian law, prior consent is generally required for non-essential cookies; technically necessary cookies may be used without consent.

Technically necessary cookies may be required, for example, for:

• The secure operation of the website

• Storing your cookie settings

• Basic functions of a form or a session

  
  

Non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics or marketing purposes, may only be set after you have given your active consent.

6. Web Analytics and Tracking

If web analytics or tracking services are used on this website, this is done solely on the basis of your consent, provided that such services process personal data or set cookies. Typical examples include analytics tools, marketing pixels, or similar technologies.

You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place up to that point.

7. Integration of External Services

This website may incorporate third-party content or services, such as fonts, maps, social media plugins, portfolio platforms, or embedded media. When such content is loaded, your IP address or other technical information may be transmitted to the respective provider.

When using external services, you should also review their privacy policies, as the respective provider may be responsible for their data processing.

8. Social Media Links

This website may contain links to social networks or portfolio platforms such as Instagram, Behance, or LinkedIn. A connection to the respective provider is established only when you actively click on such a link. Simply visiting the website does not automatically result in the transfer of data to these services.

9. Retention Period

I store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the stated purposes or as required by statutory retention obligations. Afterward, the data is deleted or anonymized.

As a general rule:

• Contact inquiries: until fully processed, typically six months

• Log files: only for the period technically necessary, often a few days to weeks.

• Contract or billing data: in accordance with statutory retention requirements, approximately seven years, where applicable.

  
  

10. Data Security

I take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorized disclosure.

11. Your Rights

Ihnen stehen nach der DSGVO grundsätzlich folgende Rechte zu:

• Right of access

• Right to rectification

• Right to erasure

• Right to restriction of processing

• Right to data portability

• Right to object to processing

• Right to withdraw consent at any time

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can contact us at any time using the contact information provided above.

12. Right to File a Complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right to file a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority. The Data Protection Authority is the competent supervisory authority in Austria.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy in the event of legal or technical changes. The most current version will be published on this website.

14. Governing Law

To the extent that personal data is processed in connection with this website, the General Data Protection Regulation/ Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) and Austrian data protection law apply. A general phrase such as “the law of your country” is inappropriate for an Austrian website and should be replaced with a clause specifically referencing Austria.
