Hosting and server logs

This website is delivered by a hosting provider. Like most web servers, the hosting infrastructure may automatically record technical access data (such as IP address, browser type, referring page and timestamp) in server log files for the purpose of operating and securing the website. This processing is based on a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in the stable and secure operation of the site, and log data is kept only for as long as needed for this purpose, then deleted.

Contacting us

If you contact us by email — including via the email address shown on this website — the information you provide (such as your email address and the content of your message) is used solely to process and respond to your enquiry. This processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps necessary prior to or under a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries) where no contract is in place.

Contact form (Formspree)

The contact form on this website is processed by Formspree, Inc., 1301 Ridgeview Drive, Suite 210, Lewisville, TX 75057, USA (privacy policy). When you submit the form, the name, email address and message you enter — together with technical data transmitted by your browser, such as your IP address and the time of submission — are sent to Formspree's servers, forwarded to our inbox and stored in the Formspree account for the submission history.

This data is used solely to receive and respond to your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling enquiries sent to us). Providing the data is voluntary, but without it we cannot respond. Formspree acts as a processor on our behalf under a data processing agreement, and applies technical measures to filter spam submissions.

Formspree processes data in the United States, so transfers outside the EU/EEA take place on the basis of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR). Submissions are retained in the Formspree account for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and are deleted thereafter; email correspondence resulting from it is kept as described under “Retention”. If you would rather not use the form, you can email us directly at legal@ulakrakowiak.com — the address shown on the homepage works too.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not set cookies and does not use any analytics, advertising or tracking tools. Because no such technologies are used, no cookie consent banner is shown.

Externally hosted fonts

This website loads typefaces (Google Fonts) directly from Google's servers rather than hosting them locally. To display these fonts, your browser establishes a connection to Google and transmits your IP address and browser information; Google may process this data on servers located outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States. This processing is based on a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in a consistent and reliable display of the website's typography. No other Google services are embedded on this site.

Other embedded third-party services

Aside from the font loading and the contact form described above, this website does not embed any other third-party widgets, scripts, plugins or services (for example no social-media embeds, maps or chat tools).

Recipients of data

Data described above may be accessible to the hosting provider (as a processor, in connection with server operation), to Formspree (as a processor, in connection with the contact form) and to Google (in connection with font delivery, as described above). No data is sold or passed on for advertising purposes.

International data transfers

Where data is processed outside the EU/EEA — for example by Formspree in connection with the contact form, or by Google in connection with font delivery — this takes place on the basis of the applicable safeguards under Chapter V GDPR (such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses put in place by the provider).

Retention

Server log data is deleted once it is no longer required for security and operational purposes. Email correspondence is kept only for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry and any resulting business relationship, or as required by statutory retention obligations under Austrian law.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to request access to, rectification or erasure of your personal data, to request restriction of or object to processing, and to data portability, subject to the applicable legal conditions. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above.

Right to complain

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde), Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at, or with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence or place of alleged infringement.
