Last updated: August 2026

Protecting your personal data is a priority for us at Red Monster e.U.. We process your data exclusively in accordance with the legal requirements (GDPR, Austrian Data Protection Act, TKG 2021). This Privacy Policy provides information about the most important aspects of data processing in the context of our website and our productions.

2. Processing of Personal Data

a) Website (www.redmonster.at)

When visiting our website, the following data is automatically collected:

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referrer URL

Purpose: This data is technically necessary to deliver the website correctly and to ensure its stability and security.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

Hosting: Our website is operated by a service provider acting as a processor for us under Art. 28 GDPR. Server logs are stored there for a short period and deleted automatically thereafter.

b) Communication

If you contact us by email, the data you provide (e.g. name, email address, message) is stored in order to process your enquiry.

Purpose: Handling your enquiry and any further communication.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

c) Productions

In the context of film projects, we process personal data of protagonists, performers and other participants. This includes in particular:

• Names
• Contact details
• Image, audio and video recordings
• Contract related information

Purpose: Production and exploitation of our films.
Legal basis: Consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and performance of a contract under Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Note: Consent is obtained through a separate release form that we provide in the course of the production. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We only use technically necessary cookies, for example for the selected language version and for the security of the website. These cookies are required for operation and do not need consent.

Audience measurement with Matomo
To evaluate how our website is used, we use Matomo, an open source web analytics software. Matomo runs on our own server, the data stays with us. No data is passed on to third parties and no data is transferred to third countries.

Matomo is deliberately configured to collect as little as possible:

• No cookies are set.
• IP addresses are truncated by two bytes before storage, so they cannot be linked to an individual person.
• User IDs are anonymised.
• No recognition across other websites takes place.

We record the pages visited, the approximate region of origin, the referring page as well as device type and browser. The sole purpose is to improve our website.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in privacy friendly audience measurement). Since no cookies are set and no information is stored on or read from your device, no consent under § 165 (3) TKG 2021 is required.

Objection: You can opt out of this measurement at any time:

If this field does not appear for you, a short message to datenschutz@redmonster.at is enough.

No other services: We do not use advertising or other tracking services and we do not embed third party content. No data is transmitted to Google, social networks or comparable services.

4. Storage Period

Your personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by statutory retention periods. Once the purpose no longer applies or these periods expire, the data is deleted. Data relating to productions or consent is stored until the purpose no longer applies or until consent is withdrawn.

5. Disclosure of Data

We only pass on your personal data to third parties where this is necessary, for example to:

• Co-producers and commissioning broadcasters
• Service providers supporting us with the production or the website
• Public authorities where legally required

In such cases, disclosure takes place exclusively within the framework of the GDPR.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access to your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR).
• Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR).
• Erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR), unless legal obligations prevent this.
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
• Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR).
• Withdraw consent given (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).

To exercise these rights, please contact: datenschutz@redmonster.at.

Complaint: If you believe that the processing of your data infringes the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority: www.dsb.gv.at.

7. Data Security

We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or destruction. Our security measures are reviewed regularly and adapted to the state of the art.
