Gottfried Wassertheurer
Retired land surveyor · St. Stefan im Gailtal, Hermagor district (Carinthia)
Anyone in the Gailtal valley with a confusing official letter knocks on Gottfried Wassertheurer's door. The retired land surveyor from St. Stefan im Gailtal pays in cash, has turned his annual GDPR subject access request into a fixed ritual, and gives a new municipal app's privacy policy the same amount of time he'd give an official letter — not a refuser, but a citizen who knows his rights and uses them.
In Radical Personas, Gottfried reviews your website, ad, or copy from exactly this standpoint — with a Score and reasoning you can follow.
