Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

Responsible operator pursuant to Article 4(7) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

2. Website Delivery & Technical Server Logs

When you access the AZIMERIS website, our web hosting provider (World4You Internet Services GmbH, Linz, Austria) technically processes and temporarily stores access data in server log files. This data includes:

• IP address of the accessing device
• Date and time of server request
• Requested file, path and HTTP status code
• Transferred data volume
• Referrer URL (previously visited page, if transmitted)
• Browser type, version, and operating system

This technical data processing is strictly necessary to deliver the website reliably, ensure infrastructure stability, and protect systems against unauthorized attacks or denial-of-service events. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in secure website provision). Log data is automatically deleted once operational purposes cease, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

3. Zero Tracking, Cookies & Local Storage

The AZIMERIS website is designed around privacy-first principles:

• No Tracking or Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Matomo, or any other web tracking, telemetry, or user profiling tools.
• No Marketing Cookies: We do not deploy advertising, tracking, or marketing cookies.
• No Cookie Banner Required: Because zero non-essential cookies or third-party trackers are deployed, no consent-management banner is necessary.
• Local Storage: Browser local storage or session storage is not used to identify or track visitors across sessions or domains.

4. Direct Communication

If you contact us via email or telephone, the personal data you transmit (such as your name, email address, and message content) is processed exclusively to address, process, and respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual communication) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to project correspondence). We delete inquiry data as soon as the matter has been concluded, provided no legal retention obligations exist.

5. External Links & Social Platforms

The website contains static hyperlinks to external platforms and project channels:

These links are standard HTML hyperlinks. No automated third-party tracking scripts, social widgets, or embedded feeds are loaded when you visit our website. When you click an external link, you leave our site and enter the third-party provider’s platform, whose respective data processing terms and privacy policies then apply.

6. TikTok Developer Application (AZIMERIS Publishing)

The developer application "AZIMERIS Publishing" registered on the TikTok Developer Platform is maintained solely by the project operator for direct, authorized syndication and publishing of AZIMERIS audiovisual media-art transmissions to the project's official TikTok channel. The application does not collect, record, process, profile, share, or sell any personal data of website visitors or end-users.
