The protection of your data is important to us

Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, Telecommunications Act 2003 (TKG 2003)). In this privacy information we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in connection with our website.

SECURITY MEASURES

We take organisational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of data protection law are complied with and thereby to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss or destruction and against access by unauthorised persons. These security measures include, in particular, the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server.

DISCLOSURE OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS

Data is only disclosed to third parties within the scope of the statutory requirements. We only disclose users' data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, for contractual purposes on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, or on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the economic and efficient operation of our business.

Where we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions and corresponding technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions.

Where content, tools or other means from other providers (hereinafter collectively referred to as "third-party providers") are used within the scope of this Privacy Policy and their stated registered office is located in a third country, it is to be assumed that data is transferred to the countries in which the third-party providers are based. Third countries are to be understood as countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law, i.e. generally countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area. Data is transferred to third countries only where an adequate level of data protection, the consent of the users or another legal authorisation exists.

CONTACTING US

If you contact us by email, the data you provide will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

RECORDING OF SERVER LOGS

Every access to our website and every retrieval of a file stored on this website is logged. This storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following is logged: information on the content requested, the date and time of access, the volume of data transferred, the Internet Protocol address ("IP address") and technical information on the visitor's device. The technical information (operating system, browser software, browser version and screen resolution) does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific visitor or a specific person. The detailed records are deleted after statistical evaluation.

COOKIES

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device by means of your browser. They do not cause any harm. We use cookies to make our services user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. If you do not wish this, you can configure your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted. Further information on cookies is available on Wikipedia.

CHANGING COOKIE SETTINGS

Users can determine in the settings of their web browser how the browser handles cookies and which cookies are accepted or rejected. Where exactly these settings are located depends on the respective web browser. Detailed information can be found via the help function of the respective web browser. If the use of cookies is restricted, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITE

Our website uses the following cookies:

Cookie Consent (cookieconsent): storage of consent to the use of cookies
Google Analytics (_ga, _gat, _gid): storage of user data in connection with the website statistics software Google Analytics

INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), we use content or service offerings from third-party providers within our online services in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content"). This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content receive the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browsers. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavour to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users' device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other details on the use of our online services, and may also be linked with such information from other sources.

The following overview lists third-party providers and their content, together with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on the processing of data and, in some cases already mentioned here, options to object (so-called opt-out):

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operators and to provide other services relating to website use and internet use. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process this data on Google's behalf. Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purpose described above. You can object to the collection of data by Google Analytics with effect for the future by installing a deactivation add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) for your browser. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp"; IP addresses are therefore only processed further in truncated form in order to rule out direct personal identification.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby provides a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law. Further information is available at www.privacyshield.gov.

GOOGLE MAPS

We use maps from the "Google Maps" service of the third-party provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: www.google.com/settings/ads/.

YOUR RIGHTS

In principle, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, withdrawal of consent and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data infringes data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Austrian Data Protection Authority (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde), Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Wien, www.dsb.gv.at, dsb@dsb.gv.at).

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy in order to adapt it to changes in the legal situation or in the event of changes to a service or to data processing. However, this applies only with regard to statements on data processing. Where users' consent is required or where parts of the Privacy Policy contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, changes will only be made with the users' consent.

Users are requested to inform themselves regularly about the content of this Privacy Policy.
