This privacy policy establishes how we process and
protect your personal information.
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) is:
tightstorm
Fendigasse 18
1050 Wien, Österreich
mail [at] tightstorm [dot] com
The protection of your personal data is of great importance to us. We process your data exclusively on the basis of statutory provisions (GDPR, Austrian DSG, TKG 2021).
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes in particular name, email address, telephone number and other contact details.
Our website is hosted on webspace provided by easyname GmbH:
easyname GmbH
Canettistraße 5/10
1100 Vienna, Austria
www.easyname.at/de/unternehmen/kontakt#impressum
The servers are located in Austria.
When you access our website, the following data is automatically recorded in server log files:
- IP address
- Date and time of access
- Page accessed/name of file retrieved
- Volume of data transferred
- Notification of successful retrieval
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referrer URL (previously visited page)
The processing is carried out to ensure smooth operation of the website, to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
The processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technical operation and security of the website.
The server log files are anonymised after 24 hours and deleted after three months. For more detailed information, we refer to easyname's privacy policy.
For the dispatch of our newsletter, we process the following data:
- Email address (required)
- IP address for verification purposes (required)
- Date and time of registration for verification purposes (required)
- Nickname (optional)
- First name (optional)
- Pronouns (optional)
- Date of birth (optional)
- Home country (optional)
- Favourite style (optional)
The data processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of sending our newsletter with information about tightstorm and related events.
We use certain information (e.g. favourite style, language) as well as interaction data (e.g. open and click rates) to form segments and adapt our newsletter content to your interests. This processing constitutes profiling within the meaning of Article 4(4) GDPR. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can object to this processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter or sending us a message.
There is no automated decision-making including profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.
The processing is based on your express consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 107(2) TKG 2021 (Austrian Telecommunications Act). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future - most easily via the unsubscribe link in each newsletter.
In addition, we store your IP address as well as the date and time of registration on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in proving proper registration (double opt-in) and preventing misuse.
Registration for our newsletter is carried out using a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you register, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with someone else's email address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements.
For the dispatch of our newsletter, we use the service Brevo (Sendinblue GmbH). Brevo is a dispatch service provider based in the EU that acts as a processor on our behalf.
Controller for Brevo:
Sendinblue GmbH
Köpenicker Str. 126
10179 Berlin, Germany
Brevo's privacy policy can be found at:
www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/
Processing by Brevo:
Brevo processes the following data on our behalf:
- Storage of your email address and other data you provide
- Dispatch of newsletter emails
- Statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns (e.g. open rates, click rates)
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Brevo in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. Brevo processes your data exclusively on our instructions and only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.
For all other processing activities by Brevo that go beyond data processing (e.g. when using additional Brevo services or when processing data for Brevo's own purposes) or technical details regarding data processing, we refer
to Brevo's privacy policy.
Other Recipients: Apart from Brevo, no other external service providers have access to your data. No disclosure to third parties takes place.
Data Transfer to Third Countries by Brevo:
Brevo may transfer data to third countries outside the European Economic Area (e.g. USA, India). Brevo ensures an adequate level of data protection through appropriate safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses). A transfer is made exclusively by Brevo within the framework of data processing. Further information can be found in Brevo's privacy policy.
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels that are loaded when the email is opened. This allows us to track whether and when an email was opened and which links were clicked. This analysis serves to optimise our newsletter and is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can object to tracking at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
Your newsletter data will be stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, your data will be retained for a period of up to 3 years exclusively for the purpose of proving consent granted on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and will then be deleted.
The newsletter registration form on our website is embedded via an iframe from our newsletter service provider Brevo (see section 3.2.5).
Already when loading the registration form (i.e. BEFORE you enter data), the following data is processed:
- Your IP address is transmitted to Brevo servers (technically necessary for loading the iframe)
- Brevo sets a cookie in your browser
- The form uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect against spam. In doing so, Google also sets a cookie and transmits data (IP address, browser information, user behaviour) to Google servers, including in the USA
Purpose: The cookies serve the functionality and security of the registration form (spam protection, prevention of misuse).
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure registration form).
Data Transfer: The data is transmitted to Brevo servers in the EU and to Google servers (including USA). There is no adequacy decision for the USA; the transfer is based on EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
