Privacy Policy
This notice describes how personal information is handled when you visit andreasscheidl.com or send an enquiry through its contact form.
Controller and contact
The website is the personal professional portfolio of Andreas Scheidl, based in Italy. For questions about personal data or to exercise your rights, write to info@carrozzieri-italiani.com.
Information collected
When you use the contact form, you provide your name, email address, enquiry subject and message. The website and its hosting infrastructure may also process technical data such as IP address, browser information, access times and security logs. You should avoid including sensitive information that is not necessary for your enquiry.
Purposes and legal grounds
Enquiry details are used to respond to requests concerning automotive historical research, concours judging, editorial activities and professional collaborations, and to manage any subsequent correspondence. Depending on the request, the legal ground is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)) or legitimate interests in responding to professional messages (Article 6(1)(f)). Technical data may be processed for website operation, security and abuse prevention (legitimate interests). Sending an enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
Hosting and third-party services
The site is hosted by DreamHost and relies on services involved in website hosting and email delivery. Such providers may process data on behalf of the site operator. The site loads fonts supplied by Google Fonts, which may involve sharing technical connection data with Google. Following external links, including YouTube and third-party websites, is subject to those providers’ own privacy notices. Where data is processed outside the European Economic Area, applicable data-transfer rules must be observed.
Cookies and technical information
WordPress and service providers may use cookies or similar technical mechanisms needed for administration, security and site operation. The language links themselves do not require a user account. If non-essential analytics or advertising technologies are introduced, the policy and any required consent mechanism must be updated before use.
How long information is kept
Enquiries and the resulting correspondence are retained only for as long as reasonably needed to answer the request, manage a potential professional relationship and meet applicable legal obligations. Technical records are kept according to operational and security needs and the relevant service provider’s retention practices.
Your rights
Under applicable data-protection law, you may request access, rectification, erasure or restriction of your personal data, and object to processing or request data portability where applicable. You may also lodge a complaint with the Italian data-protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali). To exercise rights, use the contact email above.
