Privacy Policy

Data protection

This privacy policy, formulated in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, summarises what information we collect, how we use data and what decision-making options you have as a visitor to this website.

Automatic data storage

Our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically collects data such as the IP address of your device, the addresses of the sub-pages visited, details about your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) along with the date and time. We do not use this data and generally do not disclose it, but we cannot rule out the possibility of this data being accessed in the event of unlawful activities.

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 details when submitting a form, are only used by us, together with the time and IP address, for the purpose stated in each case, and is stored securely and not disclosed to third parties.

We therefore use your personal data only for communication with visitors who expressly wish to be contacted and for providing the services offered on this website. We do not disclose your personal data without your consent, but cannot rule out the possibility of this data being accessed in the event of unlawful activities.

Your rights

As a rule, you are entitled to the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, withdrawal and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in some form, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that enable this website to store specific information related to the user on the visitor’s computer while our website is being visited. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our website, as well as to tailor our offerings to make them convenient and efficient for you. We use both session cookies, which are only temporarily stored for the duration of your use of our website, as well as permanent cookies to record information about visitors who repeatedly access our website. The purpose of using these cookies is to be able to offer an optimal user experience as well as to recognise visitors, and to provide a website with content that is as attractive and interesting as possible in the event of repeated use of our site. The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Name, IP address, etc. are not stored. No individual profiling of your usage behaviour takes place. It is also possible to use our offerings without cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, limit it to certain websites, or configure your web browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc.) so that you are notified as soon as a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your PC’s hard drive at any time. However, if you do this, it is likely that the page will not be displayed in full, and that your user experience will be limited.

By registering for our newsletter, you submit the personal data mentioned above and give us the right to contact you by email. We use the data stored in the context of the registration for the newsletter exclusively for our newsletter and do not disclose it to any third parties.
If you unsubscribe from the newsletter – you can find the link to do so at the bottom of each newsletter – we will delete all data stored during the registration for the newsletter.

Google Maps Privacy Policy

We use Google Maps from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website.
When using the functions of this map, data is transmitted to Google. You can find out what data is collected by Google and what it is used for at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Google Analytics Privacy Policy

We use Google Analytics from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on this website for statistical evaluations of user data. Google Analytics uses target-oriented cookies.
Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Pseudonymisation

Our interest as defined by the GDPR is to improve our offering and our website. Because the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymised. Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 (3) of the Telemedia Act (TKG) as well as Art 6 of the GDPR (1) (a) (Consent) and/or (f) (Legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

Deactivation of data collection by Google Analytics

With the help of the browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), website visitors can prevent Google Analytics from using their data.
You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Google Analytics IP anonymisation

We have implemented Google Analytics’ IP address anonymisation on this website. This function was developed by Google to enable this website to comply with the applicable data protection regulations and recommendations of the local data protection authorities if they prohibit storage of the full IP address. The anonymisation or masking of the IP takes place as soon as the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network, and before any storage or processing of the data takes place.

More information on IP anonymisation can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=en.
