Cookies and web analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, but only if you consent in the cookie banner. Without your consent, Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set.
With your consent, Google Analytics sets cookies (e.g. "_ga", stored for up to 2 years) and records how you use our website: pages viewed, time on site, approximate location (country/city), device, browser and the referring page. Your IP address is truncated within the EU and not stored. We use this data only in aggregated form to improve our website. A transfer to Google LLC in the USA is possible; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 165(3) TKG 2021). We store your choice in your browser (local storage, key "hi-consent"). You can withdraw your consent at any time: open cookie settings. More in Google's privacy policy.
Fonts and videos are served from our own server.
Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by World4You Internet Services GmbH, Wolfgang-Pauli-Straße 2, BT3, 4020 Linz, Austria. When you visit the site, technically necessary data is stored automatically in server log files: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, browser and operating system, and the referring page. This data is used to run the website securely and reliably and is not combined with other data. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Contact by email
If you contact us by email, we store your details to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual steps) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in replying). We do not share this data without your consent.
Embedded content from Instagram and YouTube
Some interviews include embedded posts from Instagram (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland) or a video from YouTube (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When you open these pages, your browser connects to the providers' servers, transmitting in particular your IP address and browser information. YouTube videos are embedded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Data may be transferred to the USA; the providers are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in an appealing presentation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). See the privacy policies of Instagram and Google.
Map (OpenStreetMap)
On the Glacé 54 project page we show an interactive location map. It loads as soon as you scroll to that section. Map data (based on OpenStreetMap) is then retrieved from the OpenFreeMap service (openfreemap.org), and your browser transmits your IP address to its servers. OpenFreeMap sets no cookies and, according to its own information, stores no personal data. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in showing the location clearly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). More: openfreemap.org.
Links to Spotify, Apple Podcasts and social networks
Links to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Substack, Instagram and LinkedIn are plain links. Only when you click one are you taken to that provider's site, where its own privacy policy applies.

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Please contact office@homeissue.com. If you believe the processing of your data violates data protection law, you can lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at).
