Privacy Policy

1. Privacy policy

We process your data exclusively based on legal regulations (DSGVO, TKG 2003). In this privacy policy we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in the context of our website.

2. Contact

If you contact me using the form on the website or by e-mail, your data will be stored automatically. Your data will normally be stored for up to 6 months. I will not share this information without your permission. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful behaviour.

3. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your computer with the help of your browser. They do not cause any damage. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. If you do not want this to happen, you can set your browser to notify you before cookies are set and to allow them only on a case-by-case basis. If you disable cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

4. Web analysis

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service … [reCaptcha and Google Analytics: description below…]. Cookies are used to analyse your use of the website. The information thus generated is transferred to the provider’s server and stored there. You can prevent this by configuring your browser to not accept cookies. We have a contract with the provider for the processing of order data. Your IP address will be recorded, but immediately pseudonymised (e.g. by deleting the last 8 bits). This means that only a rough localisation is possible.

Data processing is carried out based on the legal provisions of § 96 para. 3 TKG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the DGSVO. Our interest within the meaning of the DGSVO (legitimate interest) is to improve our services and our website. As the privacy of our users is important to me, the user data is pseudonymised [pseudonymisation is recommended for the legal ground of “legitimate interest”; this must be clarified with the web analytics service]. The user data will be stored for a period of 6 months [this must be clarified with the web analytics service].

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. Where the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data controller for Google Analytics is Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google Analytics is only used on this website with the “anonymiseIp()” extension. This extension ensures the anonymity of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal identification. The extension truncates Google’s IP address within the member states of the European Union or other signatories to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it will be truncated. Google will not associate the IP address transmitted by the browser using Google Analytics with any other data held by Google. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage (Article 6(1)(f) DGSVO). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimisation of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymisation.

Google LLC. guarantees to maintain an adequate level of data protection based on its standard contractual clauses. The data sent and associated with cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection of data by Google Analytics can be prevented by the visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of IP addresses and data generated by cookies can also be stopped at any time with effect for the future. The appropriate browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the collection of data on future visits to this website.

For more information about Google’s use of this information, including your ability to opt out, please see the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and your Google advertising preferences (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google) to protect your enquiries via the web form. The purpose of the query is to distinguish whether the input was made by a human being or abusively by automated machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. Your input will be transmitted to and used by Google for this purpose. Your IP address will, however, be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it will be abbreviated. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to analyse your use of the website. Google will not associate the IP address generated by reCaptcha with any other data held by Google. Google’s separate privacy policy applies to this data. You can find more information about Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

5. Your rights

In principle, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, transfer, erase and object. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
