​

COYM (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you interact with our Website, digital assets, or contact us via email or postal mail.

​

By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Scope and Application

This Privacy Policy applies to all users worldwide who access the COYM Website.

COYM operates under Austrian law and EU data protection regulations (including GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Recitals 1–10).

While the Website is accessible internationally, COYM makes best efforts to comply with local data protection requirements in other jurisdictions.

2. Data We Collect

COYM is a content-first website that does not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or logins.

We may collect the following minimal information for statistical purposes via Wix internal analytics:

  • Number of visitors

  • Geographic region (country level)

  • Pages visited

This information is collected anonymously.

​

Relevant GDPR provisions:

  • Art. 5(1)(c) & (e) – data minimization and storage limitation

  • Art. 6(1)(f) – legitimate interest for website analytics

3. Cookies and Tracking

The COYM Website uses only technically necessary cookies, which are essential for the proper functioning of the Website (Art. 5(1)(c), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

No third-party marketing or tracking cookies are used.

Any minimal statistical information (e.g., number of visitors, country-level data) is collected anonymously.

These cookies do not require active consent; users are informed about their use via this Privacy Policy.

Note: COYM uses the free version of Usercentrics to display this information and ensure transparency about cookies.

4. External Links and Visitors from Social Media

The Website may include links to social media platforms such as Instagram or TikTok.

These links are provided for convenience and information only. No content from these platforms is embedded on the Website.

COYM does not transmit any personal data to these platforms when links are clicked, beyond standard web requests initiated by the user.

By visiting these platforms, you are subject to their respective privacy policies.

Visitors from External Platforms:
When users access the COYM Website via links from external platforms such as Instagram or TikTok, minimal information such as the referring platform and aggregate traffic data may be collected. No personally identifiable information is collected or shared. This data is used solely for anonymous statistical purposes to improve the Website’s operation.

5. Children and Minors

The Website is not specifically directed at children.

COYM does not knowingly collect personal information from children or minors (Art. 8 GDPR).

Parents and guardians should supervise access for children.

6. Contact Inquiries

If you contact COYM via email, post, or other communication channels, the information you provide (including name, email address, postal address, or other details) will be collected and processed solely for the purpose of addressing your inquiry or request (Art. 5(1)(b), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

COYM will retain this information only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or to comply with applicable legal obligations (Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR).

Once the matter is resolved, personal data will be deleted unless retention is required by law (e.g., accounting or tax obligations).

International users: While this policy follows EU law, COYM applies the same minimal-retention principle for all inquiries worldwide, to the best of its ability, while respecting local legal requirements.

7. Data Storage and Security

All statistical data is stored securely on Wix servers within the Wix infrastructure.

Wix provides industry-standard security measures, including HTTPS and firewalls (Art. 32 GDPR).

COYM cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted online.

8. International Access and Compliance

The Website is available worldwide. By using it, you acknowledge that data may be transmitted across borders as part of website operation (Art. 44–50 GDPR).

COYM endeavors to comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations, but cannot guarantee compliance with every jurisdiction.

This Privacy Policy constitutes our best-efforts approach to lawful global operation.

9. User Rights (EU Residents)

If you are an EU resident, you may have the following rights under GDPR (Arts. 15–22):

  • Access your personal data

  • Correct inaccuracies in your data

  • Request deletion of your data

  • Object to processing under certain circumstances

  • Request data portability​

Since COYM does not collect personal information in general, these rights are generally not applicable.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

COYM may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The latest version will always be available on the Website.

Continued use of the Website after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
