General Information

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we process your data solely on the basis of legal provisions, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act. This privacy policy informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data on our website. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (e.g., name or email address) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis whenever possible. The processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1) GDPR, in particular based on your consent, the performance of contractual or pre-contractual obligations, legal obligations, or our legitimate interest in a secure and functional operation of the website. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via e-mail) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.

Our website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. We use the following types of cookies:

Non-essential cookies are only set with your express consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on our website. Most cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. You can also configure your browser to be informed about cookie placement, to allow cookies only in individual cases, or to disable cookies entirely. Note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of the website.

Social Media

Our website may include links or features from social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp. If you use such a service or click on a corresponding link, a connection to the servers of the respective provider may be established. Information such as your IP address or the page you visited may be transmitted to the respective provider.

Data Transfer to Third Countries

When using social media services, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular to the United States. This transfer is carried out based on appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46 GDPR, e.g., standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or comparable protection mechanisms.

The following information may be collected: IP address of the requesting device, date and time of access, name and URL of the requested file, referrer URL (previously visited page), browser type used, device operating system, and name of the Internet provider. These data are evaluated to ensure smooth operation of the website and to improve our services. The legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). No merging of these data with other data sources takes place.

Data Retention

Personal data will only be stored as long as necessary to fulfill the respective purposes or as long as legally required. Once the purpose is fulfilled or legal retention periods expire, the data will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
