Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we process your data solely based on the legal regulations (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the key aspects of data processing related to our website.

Contacting us

If you contact us by email, the data you provide will be stored by us for 24 months for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files stored on your device via your browser. They do not cause any harm. We use cookies to make our service more user-friendly. Some cookies remain on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognise your browser when you visit again. If you prefer, you can set your browser to inform you about cookie placement and allow them only on a case-by-case basis. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website. To ensure the correct display of fonts, a tracking pixel from the font provider myfonts.com is embedded for proper billing purposes.

Analytics

Our legitimate interest under the GDPR is to improve our services and website. Since we value our users' privacy, user data is pseudonymised. The data is retained for a period of 24 months.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). The use is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website, such as

  • Browser type/version,
  • Operating system used,
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • Time of the server request,

Data is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with any other data held by Google. Additionally, we have enhanced Google Analytics on this website with the “anonymizeIP” code. This ensures your IP address is masked so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it is then shortened.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your website usage, compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings. However, please be aware that doing so may limit your ability to fully access all features of this website.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as Google’s processing of this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

We continue to use Google Analytics to analyse data from DoubleClick cookies and AdWords for statistical purposes. If you prefer not to participate, you can opt out at any time using the Ads Settings Manager: http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=en.

Facebook Pixel

Within our online offering, and based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, we use the  ‘Facebook Pixel’ from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are located in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (‘Facebook’), for the purposes of analysing, optimising, and economically operating our online offering.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has visited the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or posting a comment, the relevant information is sent directly from their device to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy: https:facebook.com/about/privacy/

Your Rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and to withdraw consent or object to the processing of your data. If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been infringed in any other way, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
