Privacy policy

1. Who is responsible

The controller for the processing of personal data on this website is:
Majlinda Rexhepi, Maj Studio — photographer
Feldbacherstraße 39
8083 Sankt Stefan im Rosental
Styria, Austria
Email: hello@studio-maj.com

I have not appointed a data protection officer, as this is not required for my business.

2. Visiting this website

When you open this website, the hosting provider automatically processes technical data that your browser sends: IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, referrer and browser/device information. This is necessary to deliver the website securely and reliably (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interest). These server logs are stored by the hosting provider for a short period only and are not combined with other data.

Hosting: This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., San Francisco, USA. Netlify processes data on my behalf under a data processing agreement. Data may be transferred to the USA; the transfer is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

3. Inquiry form and email

If you contact me through the inquiry form or by email, I process the details you give me (name, email address, optionally phone number, date and place of your event, and your message) in order to answer your inquiry and, if we work together, to prepare and carry out our agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Form submissions are received through the form service of my hosting provider Netlify and forwarded to my email inbox, which is provided by Microsoft (Microsoft 365, via GoDaddy). I delete inquiries that do not lead to a booking no later than 12 months after our last contact. If we sign an agreement, invoices and booking records are kept for as long as Austrian tax law requires (generally seven years, § 132 BAO).

Providing your details is voluntary, but without them I cannot reply to your inquiry.

4. Cookies, fonts and tracking

This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. To show the opening animation only once, your browser keeps a small technical note in its session storage, which is deleted when you close the tab and is never sent to me. All fonts are loaded from this website’s own server; no connection to Google or other font services is made.

5. Links to social networks

This website links to my profiles on Instagram and Pinterest. These are plain links: no data are sent to these platforms until you click a link. After that, the privacy policy of the respective platform applies.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access your data (Art. 15 GDPR), to have it corrected (Art. 16), erased (Art. 17) or restricted (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). To exercise these rights, simply write to hello@studio-maj.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in Austria the Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna.

7. Changes

I may update this policy if the website or the legal requirements change. The current version is always available on this page.
