Privacy
Open Knowledge Austria (OKAT), Ausstellungsstraße 50/6.52, 1020 Vienna, Austria, is responsible for this website. This website presents Open Knowledge Austria. It does not use analytics, advertising, tracking cookies, embedded social media or external fonts. Page assets are served from this website.
The hosting infrastructure processes the connection information necessary to deliver and secure the website, such as your IP address, request time and requested URL. No visitor accounts are created by this website.
Event registration
If you register for an event, we store your name, email address, optional organisation, attendance preference, language and the wording, version and time of your consent. We use these details to organise the event and send its date, joining details and follow-up materials. Occasional emails about other OKAT projects and events require a separate optional consent. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Registration data is stored privately on our hosting infrastructure, is accessible only to authorised organisers and is deleted within 12 months of registration. You can withdraw consent, cancel registration or request access, correction or deletion by emailing office@okat.at. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out. You may lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
Email links open your own email application. If you choose to contact us, your email provider and the recipient’s email provider process your message. External links take you to independently operated websites with their own privacy information.
For questions about this website or your personal data, contact Daniel Dobriy through office@okat.at.
Shared OKAT and Open Data Inside directory
Open Knowledge Austria (OKAT), Ausstellungsstraße 50/6.52, 1020 Vienna, office@okat.at, maintains the OKAT Ecosystem. Dobriy AI GmbH, Stephansplatz 8/20, 1010 Vienna, operates Open Data Inside and its technical registry. These services use one shared directory to make open-data people, organisations and initiatives discoverable on okat.at and opendatainside.org. You may contact office@okat.at about the shared entry. Requests are coordinated across both sites.
Public fields include the entity name, website, type, categories, description, professional activities, submitted or credited image, sources and directory tags. An approved entry is visible on both sites and in their public structured-data exports. Submitter names and email addresses, internal review notes, login information and consent records are not included in the public directory or sent to the research service.
For new submissions, the required checkbox records the notice version and time of agreement to both listings and public-information enrichment under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Publication follows review. You may withdraw consent by contacting office@okat.at. Withdrawal removes the entry from both public listings without affecting earlier lawful processing. Newsletter consent is separate and is never implied by directory registration.
Existing public entries retain their source and publication history. They are not recorded as having given new consent. Continued publication of public professional information relies on the legitimate interest in maintaining an accurate, connected open-data directory under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, subject to the individual's rights, reasonable expectations and an assessment of objections. Ask us to correct, restrict or remove an entry on either site. Listing is not proof of legal association membership, endorsement or certification.
A research worker sends only the public entity name and website to Perplexity to find relevant public professional information. It records source links and the research date. It does not seek private contact details or sensitive personal information. Initial research runs once. Authorised administrators can request another run. Periodic refresh may be configured. Automated information may be inaccurate. Ambiguous matches are held for review, and curated text is protected from automatic replacement.
Perplexity is an external AI research provider and may process these public search inputs outside the EEA, including the United States, under its applicable service and privacy terms. Its search results may come from the entity's own website and other public sources. The public profile identifies the sources used. No API credentials are exposed to visitors.
We retain public profiles while they serve the directory purpose and remain appropriate for publication. Withdrawal or an upheld objection hides an entry on both sites. Limited administrative and audit records may remain where needed to resolve requests or meet legal obligations. You have the GDPR rights to information, access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability where applicable, objection and withdrawal of consent, and may complain to the Austrian Data Protection Authority at dsb.gv.at. Contact us before resubmitting an existing profile so we can correct the shared record.
Open Knowledge Austria newsletter
Open Knowledge Austria is responsible for the OKAT newsletter offered on okat.at and opendatainside.org. Both forms subscribe to the same OKAT newsletter about open knowledge, events and Open Data Inside. Newsletter consent is optional and independent of directory entries or event registrations. We only add your address to the newsletter list after you give consent and confirm the email link. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The signup service runs on the shared Open Data Inside infrastructure operated by Dobriy AI GmbH. Brevo (Sendinblue SAS) processes email addresses and delivery data for confirmation emails and newsletter delivery. We store your email address, the signup website and language, the consent wording version, confirmation time and any withdrawal time. The OKAT list and OKAT contact marker are separate from the Dobriy AI newsletter. Signing up does not subscribe you to Dobriy AI.
You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting office@okat.at. This removes the OKAT subscription without changing other newsletter preferences. We use subscription data while you remain subscribed. After withdrawal, a limited record may remain to honour your choice and demonstrate consent where necessary. You may request access, correction or deletion through office@okat.at. The rights and complaint options described in this privacy notice apply.
