Privacy Policy

We have written this privacy policy in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) to explain what information we collect and how we use data.

Automatic Data Storage

When you visit websites, certain information is automatically collected and stored—this also applies to our website. When you visit our website, our web server (the computer on which this website is hosted) automatically stores the following data:

  • The URL of the visited page

  • Browser and browser version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL (the page previously visited)

  • Hostname and IP address of the device

  • Date and time of access

Web server log files are typically stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. These data are not shared but may be accessed if unlawful behavior is suspected. The legal basis according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR is our legitimate interest in operating this website without technical errors.

Storage of Personal Data

Personal data that you transmit to us electronically via this website—such as name, email address, address, or other personal details submitted via forms or blog comments—will be used only for the specified purpose, securely stored, and not passed on to third parties. We use your personal data only to communicate with users who expressly wish to be contacted or to process services and products offered on this website.

We do not disclose your personal data without consent, but cannot rule out access in case of unlawful behavior.

If you send us personal data via email (outside of the website), we cannot guarantee secure transmission. We recommend not sending confidential data unencrypted via email.

The legal basis under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is your consent to data processing. You may revoke this consent at any time by sending us a simple email. Contact details are available in our imprint.

According to GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act, you have the following rights:

  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
