Privacy Policy

This policy explains which personal data is processed when you visit this website or contact Petrina Salema, why it is processed, and which rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing through this website is: Petrina Manase Salema, Sole Proprietor Jubili Tegelweg 4 1220 Vienna Austria Email: contact@petrinasalema.com Phone: +43 1 435 1414

2. General principles

Personal data is processed only where there is a lawful basis and only for the purposes described in this policy. The principal legal bases are steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, consent where you have given it, and legitimate interests in operating a secure and useful website and responding to enquiries. You are not generally required to provide personal data to browse this website. Certain technical data is processed automatically so that the website can be delivered securely. If you contact Petrina Salema or subscribe to the newsletter, the information needed for that purpose must be provided; otherwise, the request may not be processed.

3. Website hosting and server logs

When you access this website, technical request data may be processed automatically. This can include your IP address, the requested page or file, the date and time of access, the referring page, browser and device information, user agent, and response or error information. This processing is necessary to deliver the website, maintain its stability and security, diagnose errors, prevent misuse, and protect the website and its visitors. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website is hosted and operated using services provided by Vercel, Inc. Vercel and infrastructure providers acting on its behalf may process technical data as processors where this is necessary to provide, secure, and maintain the website. Technical logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for operational, security, abuse-prevention, and legal purposes.

4. Website analytics

This website uses two analytics services to understand how people use the site. Vercel Web Analytics, provided by Vercel, Inc., may record page views, requested pages, referral and traffic-source information, timestamps, browser and device information, and approximate location derived from network information. It does not set analytics cookies and does not identify you as a person. PostHog, provided by PostHog, Inc. and hosted on PostHog's European Union cloud, may record page views, clicks, requested pages, referral and traffic-source information, timestamps, browser and device information, and approximate location derived from network information. After you accept, PostHog may store a cookie or similar identifier so repeat visits can be counted without identifying you by name. The analytics scripts load only if you accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, the scripts are not loaded. Analytics data is used to understand aggregate website use and improve content and usability. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw consent by clearing the stored preference in your browser or by emailing contact@petrinasalema.com. This website does not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, session-replay tools, or marketing trackers. Analytics data is retained according to each provider's configuration and is deleted or aggregated when it is no longer needed for these purposes.

5. Contact enquiries

If you contact Petrina Salema through the website or by email, the information you provide is processed to assess the project, answer your enquiry, take requested steps before a possible contract, and handle follow-up questions. Depending on how you get in touch, this may include: – name and email address; – Vienna district and property size; – handover or availability date; – rental type and indicative furniture budget; – the project information included in your message; and – technical submission data needed to deliver and protect a form. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. For general enquiries that are not directed towards a possible contract, the legal basis is the legitimate interest in responding to communications and managing business enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Form submissions may be processed through Ploy's form service, stored for the workspace, and sent to Jubili by email. Ploy and the email and IT service providers used to receive and secure the enquiry may therefore process the information as service providers. Enquiry data is not sold or used for unrelated promotional email. Enquiry data is normally deleted 12 months after the last relevant contact if no contract is concluded. If an enquiry leads to a contract, relevant records may be retained for longer where necessary to perform the contract, establish or defend legal claims, or comply with statutory accounting, tax, and documentation obligations.

6. Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address and consent record are processed to send occasional updates about projects, studio notes, and related updates. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw consent at any time by using an unsubscribe option where provided, or by emailing contact@petrinasalema.com, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal. Newsletter data is retained for as long as the subscription remains active and for a short period afterwards where needed to evidence consent or handle opt-out requests. It is not sold or used for unrelated purposes.

7. Recipients, processors, and international processing

Personal data is disclosed only where necessary for the purposes described above, where required by law, or where you have separately authorised disclosure. Categories of recipients may include website hosting and platform providers, infrastructure and security providers, analytics providers, email and IT service providers, and professional advisers or public authorities where legally required. Vercel, Inc. hosts the website and provides Web Analytics. PostHog, Inc. provides product analytics on its European Union cloud. Ploy, Inc. may process form submissions as described above. Vercel and Ploy are based in the United States, so the use of their services may involve processing outside the European Economic Area. PostHog EU Cloud stores analytics data in the European Union. Where Chapter V of the GDPR applies to a transfer, the transfer must be based on an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, together with any required supplementary measures. You may request further information about applicable safeguards by emailing contact@petrinasalema.com.

8. Cookies and external services

This website may store a local preference recording whether you accepted or declined analytics. Vercel Web Analytics does not set analytics cookies. PostHog may set a cookie or similar identifier after you accept. The analytics scripts are loaded only after you accept. Booking a call opens Cal.com. Cal.com collects the information needed to schedule that conversation, under their own privacy policy. This site does not embed the calendar. Ordinary links to another website or an email application do not transmit information to that service until you activate the link. The external provider's own privacy information applies after you leave this website.

9. Data security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, and unauthorised access. These measures include encrypted transmission of the website and access controls for the systems used to manage enquiries. No method of transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Subject to the conditions and limits in the GDPR, you may have the right to: – obtain information about and a copy of your personal data; – have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected; – request deletion or restriction of processing; – receive data you provided in a portable format; – object to processing based on legitimate interests; and – withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal. This website does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise your rights, email contact@petrinasalema.com. Reasonable information may be requested to confirm your identity before a request is fulfilled.

11. Right to complain

If you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you may contact Petrina Salema or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Austria, the competent authority is: Austrian Data Protection Authority Barichgasse 40–42 1030 Vienna Austria Email: dsb@dsb.gv.at Website: www.dsb.gv.at

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the website, service providers, or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published on this page. If additional analytics, advertising technology, or an embedded third-party service is introduced, this policy will be updated before or when that processing begins. Last updated: 7 September 2026
