Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our website. Data protection is of particular importance to Jasminka Stančul. The use of the Internet pages of https://stancul.com/ is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data – such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject – is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable Austrian data protection provisions. With this privacy policy, we would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

2. Name and address of the controller

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Jasminka Stančul use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, a unique identifier that allows the browser to be distinguished. Through cookies, we can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

Our website collects a series of general data and information with each visit, which are stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected, for example:

  • Browser types and versions used
  • The operating system used
  • The website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrer)
  • The sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website
  • Date and time of access
  • IP address
  • Internet service provider of the accessing system

This information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and (3) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated statistically and stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Use of the contact form

Our website includes a contact form that can be used for electronic communication. If a person uses this option, the data entered in the input mask are transmitted to us and stored. These data usually include:

  • Name
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number (if provided)
  • Message content

At the time the message is sent, the date and time of the submission are also stored. The processing of this data is solely for the purpose of handling the inquiry. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in effective communication). If the contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

No personal data collected through the contact form will be passed on to third parties. The data will be deleted once the request has been completed, provided there are no legal retention requirements.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

Personal data shall only be processed and stored for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as long as this is required by European or national laws or regulations. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by applicable regulations expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

7. Rights of the data subject

Every data subject has the right to:

  • Access the personal data processed (Article 15 GDPR)
  • Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Article 16 GDPR)
  • Erasure of data (“right to be forgotten”) (Article 17 GDPR)
  • Restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
  • Data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
  • Object to processing (Article 21 GDPR)
  • Withdraw consent previously given (Article 7(3) GDPR)

To exercise these rights, a simple message to:

8. Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

Our website uses Google Analytics (with anonymization function), a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies to enable an analysis of the use of our website. We use the extension “anonymizeIp” so that the IP address of the data subject is shortened within the European Union.

The information generated is used to evaluate the use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and Internet usage.

9. Legal basis for processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. If we are subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Article 6(1)(d) GDPR). Processing operations may also be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR if they are necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our organization or by a third party.

10. Duration of data storage

The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

11. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible organization, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
