1. What information do I collect?

Personal information you disclose to me

In Short: I collect personal information that you provide to me.

I collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to me when you express an interest in obtaining information about me or my products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact me.

Sensitive Information. I do not process sensitive information.

All personal information that you provide to me must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify me of any changes to such personal information.

2. How do I process your information?

In Short: I process your information to provide, improve, and administer my Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. I may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

I process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with my Services, including:

• To respond to your inquiries. Processing contact form submissions including your name, email address, and message to respond to your questions and provide requested information.
• To send you project proposals. Using the information you provide to prepare and deliver tailored project quotes and estimates.
• To manage our business relationship. Administering contracts, issuing invoices, and tracking project deliverables.
• To protect our services. Fraud prevention and security verification through Cloudflare Turnstile integration on contact forms.
• To comply with legal obligations. Maintaining records as required by Austrian tax, accounting, and commercial law.

3. When and with whom do I share your personal information?

In Short: I may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

I may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

• Business Transfers. I may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of my business to another company.

4. How long do I keep your information?

In Short: I keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

I will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When I have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, I will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then I will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

5. Do I collect information from minors?

In Short: I do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

I do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do I knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If I learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, I will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from my records. If you become aware of any data I may have collected from children under age 18, please contact me at office@pushingpixels.at.

6. What are your privacy rights?

In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.

Withdrawing your consent: If I am relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting me by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.

However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

7. Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ( “DNT” ) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, I do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that I must follow in the future, I will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

8. Do I make updates to this notice?

In Short: Yes, I will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

I may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date at the top of this privacy notice. If I make material changes to this privacy notice, I may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. I encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how I am protecting your information.

9. How can you contact me about this notice?

If you have questions or comments about this notice, you may email me at office@pushingpixels.at or contact me by post at:

Pushing Pixels
Malmögasse 16,
A-1100 Vienna

10. How can you review, update, or delete the data I collect from you?

Based on the applicable laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the personal information I collect from you, details about how I have processed it, correct inaccuracies, or delete your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw your consent to my processing of your personal information. These rights may be limited in some circumstances by applicable law. To request to review, update, or delete your personal information, please contact me.

11. Cookies and browser storage

This website sets one cookie of its own: i18n_redirected stores the language you chose so you are not redirected on every visit. It contains no personal data and expires after one year. The language switch does not work without it, so no consent banner is shown for it. A second cookie is set only when the site owner logs in to preview unpublished pages. Cloudflare Turnstile, which protects the contact form, may set its own cookies inside its widget; see Cloudflare's privacy policy. No advertising or tracking cookies are used, and nothing is stored in your browser's local storage beyond the session values described below.

When you send the contact form, the notification I receive contains, in addition to what you typed, your IP address, your browser type and the page you came from. This helps me recognise spam. These details are not stored anywhere else.

To learn which pages lead to inquiries, your browser remembers for the current tab the first page of your visit, the last case study and the last service page you opened, and the website you arrived from, if any. Each of these is a single value: a later page replaces the earlier one, and no list of visited pages is kept. This is kept in the browser's session storage, which is cleared when the tab is closed, and it is sent together with the form. On my server, these four values plus the language and the time of the inquiry are written to a statistics log under a random inquiry number. The log contains neither your name, your email address nor your message and cannot be linked back to you. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in knowing which content is useful (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If you answer the optional question in the form how you found me, the choice you picked is logged as well. Log entries are deleted after three years.

12. Error monitoring

To notice when something on this website breaks, technical error reports are sent to Sentry (Functional Software, Inc., EU data centre in Frankfurt, Germany). A report contains the error message, the page address, the browser type and the steps that led to the error. IP addresses and request headers are not transmitted, and nothing is sent while the website works as intended. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in running a working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Reports are deleted automatically after 90 days.
