Privacy Policy
Protecting your personal data matters to me. This page explains which data is collected when you visit this website, what it is used for and what rights you have. It is based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG 2021).
This is a translation. In case of doubt, the German version applies.

For any questions about data protection, you can reach me directly by email at any time.
When you open this website, your browser automatically sends technical data to the server hosting the site. This data is stored in so-called log files:
- IP address of the requesting device
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the requested file
- Browser and operating system used
- Where applicable, the previously visited page (referrer)
This data is technically necessary to deliver the website at all and serves the stability and security of its operation. It is not analysed, not combined into a profile and not passed on to third parties. It is not linked to you as a person.
Retention period: deleted as soon as the purpose no longer applies — usually after a few days, at most 7 days, by the hosting provider.
This website is hosted by an external service provider. The provider processes the data listed under section 2 exclusively on my behalf and according to my instructions. This is based on a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, which forms part of the provider's general terms and conditions.
Hosting provider: World4You Internet Services GmbH, Austria.
Processing takes place predominantly within the European Union or the European Economic Area. Should a transfer to a third country exceptionally be necessary to provide the service, it takes place in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.
The provider uses its own sub-processors to provide its services. The current list is available from the provider.
There is no contact form on this website. Contact takes place via the email address provided. If you write to me, your email address, your name and the content of your message are stored in order to handle your enquiry.
I do not pass this data on to third parties. It is deleted once the enquiry has been fully dealt with and no statutory retention obligations apply. If the enquiry leads to an order, the tax and commercial retention periods of seven years apply (§ 132 BAO, § 212 UGB).
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, tracking or advertising services. There is no profiling and no automated decision-making. Your behaviour on the site is not recorded.
This website does not embed any content from third-party servers. Fonts and the preview images in the portfolio are stored on and delivered from this site's own server. Visiting the site therefore does not create a connection to Google, YouTube or any other third party, and your IP address is not transmitted to anyone.
The preview images in the portfolio are links. Only when you click one do you leave this website and get redirected to YouTube. From that moment on, only YouTube's privacy policy applies (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). If you are logged into your account there, Google may associate the visit with your account.
This website contains links to profiles on Instagram and LinkedIn. These are simple text links, not embedded plugins. As long as you do not click them, no data is transmitted to these providers. After clicking, the privacy policy of the respective network applies.
Apart from the hosting provider named in section 3 and its sub-processors, your data is not passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties. Disclosure only takes place if I am legally obliged to do so or you have expressly consented.
Under the GDPR you have the following rights:
- Access (Art. 15) — which data about you is being processed
- Rectification (Art. 16) — correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure (Art. 17) — the "right to be forgotten"
- Restriction of processing (Art. 18)
- Data portability (Art. 20) — receiving your data in a common format
- Objection (Art. 21) — to processing based on legitimate interests
- Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7(3)) — at any time, with effect for the future
An informal email to hello@christophholzknecht.com is sufficient to exercise these rights. I will respond within one month.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:
