Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

1. Data controller

Denys Chepiha, Langgasse 18, 8700 Leoben, Austria. Contact: d.chepiha@chepio.tech.

2. What data we collect

When you use the contact form, we process your name, email address, subject, and message in order to answer your request.

The hosting provider may also process technical access data such as IP address, browser data, and request logs for security and operational purposes.

Theme preferences and cookie notice acknowledgement are stored locally in the browser for functional reasons.

3. Legal basis

Contact requests are processed on the basis of pre-contractual communication and legitimate business communication.

Technical logs are processed on the basis of legitimate interest in security, stability, and abuse prevention.

4. Retention

Contact requests are retained only as long as necessary to handle the inquiry and any follow-up communication.

Technical logs are retained for a limited period according to hosting and operational requirements.

5. Third-party services

This website may use Vercel for hosting and Namecheap Private Email for sending and receiving contact form email. These providers process data only to the extent needed to operate the website and deliver contact messages.

Google Fonts are served via next/font and are hosted as part of the application delivery flow.

We use Plausible to count successful contact form submissions, clicks on email, WhatsApp and Telegram links, to understand how visitors contact us. Each request sends the event name, website domain and page path; Plausible also receives your IP address and browser information. We do not send form contents, link destinations, URL query parameters, fragments, referrer or cookies.

Conversion events are not sent when your browser signals Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC). Closing the privacy notice only saves its display state; it does not enable or disable analytics.

6. Cookies and storage

This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Only functional browser storage is used for theme settings and the cookie notice state.

7. Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and data portability where applicable under GDPR.

To exercise these rights, contact d.chepiha@chepio.tech.

8. Security

The website is served over HTTPS and reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are applied to protect data.

9. Complaints

You may lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.
