Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when visiting and using gaytoday.at.

It applies to functions and content provided directly by GayToday. External websites and services are subject to the privacy policies of their respective operators.

Accessing the website

When gaytoday.at is accessed, technically necessary connection data is transmitted to the web server.

This may include the IP address, date and time of access, requested address or resource, HTTP status, referrer, browser type, operating system and other technically necessary connection information.

The data is processed to provide the website, maintain technical stability, and detect and prevent errors, misuse and attacks.

The legal basis is the legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Hosting and technical infrastructure

Hosting, server and infrastructure services are used to provide gaytoday.at.

Connection, server and security data may be processed to the extent technically necessary for provision, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and security of the website.

Server and log data

Technical requests may be recorded in server and security logs.

The recorded information may include the IP address, date and time, requested resource, HTTP status, referrer, browser and operating-system information.

Such data is retained only for as long as necessary for operation, troubleshooting and security, or for longer where statutory retention or evidence requirements apply.

Joomla and technically necessary cookies

gaytoday.at is operated using the Joomla content management system.

Joomla and installed extensions may use technically necessary session cookies. These may be required for session management, provision of functions or technical assignment of requests.

Such cookies are not used for advertising or cross-site user tracking.

Where cookies are strictly necessary to provide a function requested by the user, no prior consent is required.

Language selection

gaytoday.at is available in multiple language versions.

When switching between available languages, the information technically necessary to select and deliver the respective language version is processed.

Event search and filters

The website provides functions for searching and filtering events.

Search terms, dates, categories, locations and other criteria entered by users are processed in order to determine and display the requested search results.

Event searches generally do not require the user to provide a name, email address or similar contact information.

Event information and submitted content

GayToday may receive event information from organisers, organisations or other persons for publication.

If you submit such information to us, event data and any contact or communication data you voluntarily provide may be processed.

The data is processed to handle the request and, where appropriate, publish the submitted event information.

Depending on the nature of the request, processing is based on pre-contractual or contractual measures pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR or on the legitimate interest in handling and publishing relevant information pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Contact by email or telephone

If you contact GayToday by email or telephone, the personal data you provide is processed in order to handle your enquiry.

This may include your name, email address, telephone number, message content and other information you provide voluntarily.

Depending on the nature of the enquiry, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR or on the legitimate interest in handling general enquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data is deleted once the enquiry has been fully handled and no statutory retention, evidence or other legitimate reasons require further storage.

Radio and live stream

gaytoday.at provides a radio or audio player for the GayToday streaming service.

When the player is used or an audio stream is requested, a connection to GayToday's streaming infrastructure is established.

Technically necessary connection data is processed. This includes in particular the IP address of the accessing device and other connection information required for technical transmission.

This processing is necessary in order to transmit the requested audio stream to the user's device.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with the legitimate interest in providing the streaming service.

External resources and external links

gaytoday.at may contain links to websites, partner organisations and other external services.

In the case of a simple link, data is generally transmitted to the operator of the destination website only when the user opens that link.

If external technical resources are directly embedded on individual pages, the user's IP address may in particular be transmitted to the respective provider when such a resource is requested.

The respective provider's privacy information applies to any subsequent processing by that provider.

Partner services

gaytoday.at links to partner organisations and their services.

A partner website is accessed only after the user selects the corresponding link. Once gaytoday.at is left, the privacy information of the respective external service applies.

Analytics, advertising and user tracking

According to the currently reviewed technical configuration, gaytoday.at does not use analytics or marketing services such as Google Analytics, Matomo or Google Tag Manager for cross-user analysis.

According to the currently reviewed configuration, no personalised advertising tracking is performed.

If the technical configuration changes materially in this respect, this Privacy Policy will be updated and, where required, an appropriate consent mechanism will be provided before such services are activated.

Recipients and processors

Personal data may be processed to the technically necessary extent by hosting, server, email and infrastructure service providers where this is required for operation, maintenance, communication and security.

Personal data is not otherwise disclosed unless a legal obligation applies, disclosure is necessary to handle an enquiry, or it is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Retention period

Personal data is processed only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose.

Data may be retained for longer where statutory retention, documentation or evidence requirements apply or where it is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have in particular the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection to certain processing.

Where processing is based on consent, that consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
