Privacy.

Technical access data may be processed when you visit this website. This may include your IP address, date and time of access, the page or file requested, amount of data transferred, referrer URL, browser type and version, operating system, device information and HTTP status code.

This processing is necessary to provide a secure, stable and technically functional website and to prevent misuse. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of this website. Data is retained only for as long as required for operation, security and error analysis or to comply with legal obligations.

This website is hosted and operated as a ChatGPT Site by OpenAI and technical service providers engaged by OpenAI. Data required to provide the website may be processed on the controller’s behalf.

Processing may also take place outside the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers are made subject to the safeguards provided for under the GDPR and the agreements applicable to the OpenAI account used for this Site. More information is available in the ChatGPT Sites Terms and OpenAI’s privacy information.

If you contact us by email, the information you provide — in particular your name, email address, message and any other voluntary details — is processed to respond to your request.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the communication relates to pre-contractual steps or a contract, and otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on the legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries. The data is retained until the request has been resolved and thereafter only where statutory retention or evidentiary obligations apply.

Mark Bauer Consulting does not use analytics, marketing or advertising cookies on this website. The Site does not use web analytics services, social-media plugins, embedded videos or externally hosted fonts. Where the hosting platform uses strictly necessary storage technologies, these serve only to provide the Site securely and do not currently require consent.

External websites are contacted only after you actively select the relevant link. From that point, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

Subject to the GDPR, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to processing based on legitimate interests. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise your rights, email mb@markbauer.at. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. The competent authority in Austria is the Austrian Data Protection Authority.

This Privacy Policy will be updated if the Site’s functions, service providers or legal requirements change. The version published on this website at the relevant time applies.
