Privacy

Who is responsible

What this site is

This site shows what Helmturn is. It has no accounts and no forms, and we set no cookies. Fonts, images and scripts all come from this site’s own address; the page loads nothing from other services.

Delivering the site

The domain runs behind Cloudflare, which passes each request on to our server and protects it from attacks. To deliver a page, Cloudflare and our server process what every request carries: your IP address, the time, the page requested and your browser’s user agent. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating the website securely and reliably (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Counting page views

We count page views with Umami, analytics software hosted on our own infrastructure. The counting script and the counts go through this site’s own address. Umami sets no cookies and stores no personal data. There is no identification across devices, and nothing is shared with third parties.

We see only totals: pages visited, the sites that linked here, approximate region, browser and device type. Page addresses are counted without anything after a ? or #. We also count how often “Request early access” is clicked. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, nothing is counted.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in analysing website usage while minimising data collection (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Since no information is stored on your device, consent under Section 165(3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021) is not required.

Requesting early access

“Request early access” opens your own email program with a message to [email protected]. Nothing reaches us unless you send it. If you do, we receive your email address and what you write, and use them solely to handle your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR, as applicable. We keep your email for as long as necessary to handle it or to meet statutory retention requirements.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, restrict its processing, request data portability, and object to processing. To exercise these rights, write to [email protected].

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
