the data protection declaration.
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. That is why we process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG) 2003). On principle, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, withdrawal and objection, if not in conflict with any legal obligation of retention. If you believe that the processing of your data goes against data protection law or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, please contact us. You can also complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
Here, you can learn about the most important aspects of data processing within the scope of our website:
Access data/log files
We (or rather, our web hosting provider) collect data about every visit to the website (so-called server log files). The access data includes, among other things: Name of the accessed website or file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), and the requesting provider. Your IP address is stored anonymously in the log files on the web server without exception, so that it is not possible to trace website visits back to specific IP addresses.
We use the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the web content. However, we reserve the right to review the log data retroactively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications.
Form data
All forms on this website are primarily used for visitors to make contact with us. All data entered are handled with strict confidentiality and not forwarded to third parties. After sending a form, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions, the entered data are both saved on the server and sent in an e-mail to the visitor and to the site operator for further processing. Optional input fields are offered to make both making contact and later correspondence easier. It is important to us that only truly necessary entries are marked as mandatory fields.
Inquiries that do not result in a specific business transaction with corresponding retention periods are also stored in our business contacts database to facilitate any correspondence in connection with future inquiries and business transactions. Furthermore, if we can identify a legitimate interest in our products or services based on this data, it will be used to provide future information about them. Inactive contacts and inquiry details are deleted in accordance with our privacy policy after a certain period of time has elapsed since the last correspondence.
Newsletter
If the corresponding consent is given, your name and email address are saved in our e-mail distribution list until further notice so we can send you the newsletter, which includes promotional information. Agreement to receive the newsletter can be withdrawn by clicking on the link at the bottom of every e-mail. As part of registration, we or our newsletter provider save the time of registration and confirmation and the IP address of the user. We are legally obligated to log registrations in order to verify proper registration.
Messages within the scope of a contractual relationship do not fall into this category. This includes sending technical information, information about payment processing, queries about orders and comparable messages, which you will receive even after unsubscribing from the newsletter.
The newsletter is sent using "MailChimp", a newsletter delivery platform from US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The e-mail addresses of our newsletters recipients, as well as their other data described here, are saved on MailChimp servers in the US. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp can use these data according to its own information to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimisation of delivery and the display of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine the countries from which recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to the recipients itself, nor does it forward these data to third parties.
We trust the reliability, IT security and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreementPrivacy Shield.Furthermore, we concluded adata processing agreement.This is a contract which obligates MailChimp to protect our users' data, to process the data on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to forward the data to third parties. You can view the privacy policy of MailChimp here.
