Summary

Miro Wallner (“I,” “my,” “mirowallner.com”) respects your privacy and is committed to transparency. This policy explains what personal data I collect (IP addresses, form entries, e‑commerce details, comments, etc.), why I collect it (consent, contract, legitimate interests), how I use cookies and trackers (shopping cart, stats, fonts), and which third‑party services (Mailchimp, Automattic, Elementor, Facebook, Google) may receive data. It also outlines your GDPR rights (access, correction, deletion) and security safeguards in place.

1. Introduction

I’m an independent artist sharing my work in good faith and with limited technical expertise. I welcome your feedback to improve this policy and my site’s privacy practices. This Privacy Policy is provided at the moment you visit or interact with mirowallner.com, as required by the GDPR.

2. Data I Collect

I collect personal data only as needed to operate the site and serve you:

• Visitor IPs & User Agents
  Automatically logged by Jetpack and security plugins for analytics and security purposes.

• Form Data
  Submissions via Contact Form 7 and stored with Flamingo (names, emails, messages).

• WooCommerce Data
  Customer & order details (names, billing/shipping addresses, emails)—collected only if/when you purchase my artwork.

• Commenter Information
  Data you provide when leaving Facebook‑powered comments on blog posts.

• Analytics Data
  Site‑usage statistics from Jetpack and WooCommerce reports.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

To improve your experience, the site uses:

• Session & Cart Cookies
  WooCommerce carts and checkout functionality.

• Jetpack Stats Cookies
  Tracks pageviews, referrers, and basic behavior.

• Elementor Usage Cookies
  If you opt into usage tracking within Elementor.

• Facebook Comments Cookies
  Set by Facebook when you view or leave comments.

• Google Fonts
  If loaded externally, your browser contacts Google’s servers to fetch font files.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Since I’m based in Berlin (Europe), I rely on the following lawful grounds:

1. Consent
   You opt‑in before I process contact‑form and newsletter data.

2. Contract Performance
   Necessary to fulfill orders and related communications.

3. Legitimate Interests
   For site security, spam prevention, and basic analytics.

5. Third‑Party Services

Your data may be shared with:

• Mailchimp, Inc. (for newsletter management)

• Automattic, Inc. (Jetpack, WooCommerce, WooPayments)

• Elementor.com (site builder & possible usage tracking)

• Facebook, Inc. (comments plugin)

• Google LLC (Fonts and potential future Analytics)

All third parties process data under their own privacy policies and adhere to GDPR‑equivalent safeguards.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Request access to or correction of your personal data.

• Request deletion (“right to be forgotten”) or restriction of processing.

• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

• Request data portability.

• Withdraw consent at any time for marketing communications.

To exercise these rights, please contact me at the address below.

7. Data Security & Retention

I implement appropriate technical and organizational measures—WordPress core updates, plugin security, HTTPS encryption—to protect your data. Data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes above (e.g., form entries kept for 2 years unless you request deletion).

8. International Transfers

Data stored in servers possibly located outside the EU may be processed under appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses, Privacy Shield frameworks where applicable).
