Privacy Policy
We have written this privacy policy to explain which information we collect and how we use data, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Data Protection Act (DSG).
Automatic Data Storage
When you visit websites today, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website. When you visit our website, our web server (the computer on which this website is stored) automatically stores data such as:
- the address (URL) of the accessed website
- browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
- the hostname and IP address of the device being accessed
- date and time
Web server log files are usually stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of illegal behavior. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1) f of the GDPR (lawfulness of processing), which allows the processing of data to protect legitimate interests, ensuring the error-free operation of this website through the collection of web server log files.
Storage of Personal Data
Personal data that you transmit to us electronically on this website, such as your name, email address, address, or other personal information provided through a form submission or comments on the blog, will be used only for the stated purpose, stored securely, and not disclosed to third parties. We use your personal data only for communication with visitors who explicitly request contact and for the processing of the services and products offered on this website. We do not share your personal data without consent but cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of illegal behavior.
If you send us personal data by email—thus outside of this website—we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend never sending confidential data unencrypted via email.
The legal basis for processing your data is Article 6 (1) a of the GDPR (lawfulness of processing), which allows the processing of data with your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with a simple email. Our contact details can be found in the imprint.
Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation
According to the provisions of the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), you have the following rights:
- Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) (Article 17 GDPR)
- Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
- Right to notification – obligation to notify in connection with rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing (Article 19 GDPR)
- Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
- Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)
- Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling (Article 22 GDPR)
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in a way, you can complain to the supervisory authority, which in Austria is the Data Protection Authority, whose website is https://www.dsb.gv.at/.
TLS Encryption with https
We use https to securely transmit data over the internet (data protection through technology design, Article 25 (1) GDPR). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this data transmission security by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our internet address.
Cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. A cookie is a small data packet that is exchanged between a web browser and a web server but is meaningless to them and only gains meaning for the web application, e.g., an online store, where it stores the content of a virtual shopping cart.
There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies created by our website and third-party cookies created by other websites (e.g., Google Analytics). There are three categories of cookies: essential cookies to ensure basic website functions, functional cookies to ensure website performance, and targeted cookies to improve the user experience.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
Viewing and Deleting Cookie Settings
If you want to know which cookies have been stored in your browser, change cookie settings, or delete cookies, you can find this in your browser settings:
- Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari
- Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data websites have stored on your computer
- Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome
- Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
If you do not want data to be stored in cookies, you can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow this only in individual cases. You can delete or disable cookies already on your computer at any time. The procedure for doing this varies by browser; it is best to look up the instructions in Google using the search term “delete cookies Chrome” or “disable cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser or replace the word “Chrome” with the name of your browser, e.g., Edge, Firefox, Safari.
If you generally do not allow us to use cookies, i.e., disable them via browser settings, some features and pages may not work as expected.
