Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Copperplate.site (“Website”) collects, uses, and protects personal information when users visit the Website or contact the instructor. By using the Website, users agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Data controller and contacts
The Website is operated by the course instructor located at Tigergasse 21, 1080 Vienna, Austria. For any questions or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or personal data, users can contact:
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +380506025734
Data collected
The Website may collect the following categories of personal data when users interact with it:
Contact data: name, email address, phone number, and any other information voluntarily provided through the “Get In Touch” form or other communication channels.
Usage data: technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and time spent on the Website, collected through cookies or similar technologies if enabled.
Users should not submit sensitive personal data (such as health, financial, or identification numbers) through the Website.
Legal bases and purposes of processing
Personal data is processed only where permitted by applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR. The Website may use personal data for the following purposes:
To respond to questions, provide course information, and manage user requests submitted via the contact form or email (performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps).
To operate, maintain, and improve the Website, including monitoring usage, troubleshooting, and protecting security (legitimate interests).
To comply with legal obligations, for example in accounting, tax, or regulatory matters.
Where required by law, consent will be requested before using cookies or processing data for analytics or marketing purposes.
Cookies and similar technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
Enable core site functionality and security.
Understand how visitors use the Website and improve content and performance (analytics cookies).
Non-essential cookies (including analytics or marketing cookies) will only be used with the user’s prior consent where required by law. Users can manage or withdraw consent at any time using browser settings or appropriate cookie controls, which may affect some Website functions.
Use of analytics and third-party services
If third-party analytics or other tools from providers such as Google are implemented, these services may collect usage data such as IP address, device information, and interactions with pages to provide aggregated statistics and help improve the Website. Such providers act as independent controllers or processors under their own terms and privacy policies.
Where these tools are used, the Website will:
Inform users that analytics services are in place.
Explain the type of data collected and the purposes (for example, measuring traffic and improving the course offering).
Use appropriate legal bases, including consent where required for cookies or tracking.
Links to third-party websites or services are provided for convenience only; those services are governed by their own privacy policies, and the Website is not responsible for their practices.
Data storage and retention
Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law. For example:
Contact data related to course inquiries may be retained while communication is ongoing and for a reasonable period afterward for reference and record-keeping.
Technical and analytics data may be retained for a limited period to analyze Website performance and then aggregated or anonymized.
When data is no longer needed, it will be deleted or irreversibly anonymized in a secure manner.
Data sharing and international transfers
Personal data is not sold. Data may be shared only with:
Service providers that support Website hosting, email delivery, analytics, or other technical services, acting under written agreements and processing data only on documented instructions.
Public authorities or other parties where required by applicable law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms will be used where required by law.
Data security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are implemented to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include secure communication channels where appropriate, restricted access to personal data, and regular review of security practices. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Children’s privacy
The Website and course are intended for adults and older teenagers interested in learning calligraphy and are not directed to children under the age required by local law to provide valid consent for online services. Personal data of children is not knowingly collected; if such data is discovered, it will be deleted as soon as reasonably possible.
User rights
Depending on applicable law (including the GDPR for users in the EEA), users may have the following rights with respect to their personal data:
Right of access to a copy of their personal data and information about processing.
Right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances.
Right to restriction of processing in defined cases.
Right to data portability where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or, where applicable, direct marketing.
Right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
To exercise these rights, users can contact the instructor using the email or phone details provided in the “Data controller and contacts” section. Users also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.
