Data protection & cookies

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In principle, you have the rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, cancellation and objection, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain data. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, please contact us. Of course, you can also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.

Here we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in the context of our website:

Access data/logfiles

We (or our web space provider) collect data about every access to the website (so-called server log files). The access data includes, among other things: Name of the website accessed, 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 on the web server in anonymised form in the log files without exception, so that no conclusions can be drawn from website visits to specific IP addresses.

We only use the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of the operation, security and optimisation of the website. However, we reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.

Form data

All forms on this website are primarily used by the visitor to contact us. All data entered will be treated as strictly confidential and will not be passed on to third parties. After submitting a form, the data entered will be stored on the server for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions, as well as being sent to the visitor and the site operator in an e-mail for further processing. Optional input fields are provided to facilitate contact and subsequent correspondence. We make a point of only marking really necessary entries as mandatory fields.

Enquiries that do not lead to a specific business case with corresponding retention periods are also stored in our business contact database in order to facilitate any correspondence in subsequent enquiries and business cases. Furthermore, this data is used for future information about products/services if we can recognise a legitimate interest in them. Inactive contacts and enquiry details are deleted after a certain period of time from the last correspondence in accordance with our data protection guidelines.

Use of Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device with the help of the browser. They do not cause any damage and do not contain any personal data. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

Cookies are set both by our website and - if you consent to this - by third-party technologies. When you access our website, we give you the option of choosing whether only functional cookies or also third-party cookies (categorised) are permitted in the browser. This decision is saved for a maximum of one year - then you can make the selection again.

Depending on your consent, the following cookies are used on our website:

In addition, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies (especially from third-party providers) and you only allow this in individual cases. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted. To find out how to do this in a specific browser, you can use the help function integrated in the browser or alternatively http://www.aboutcookies.org call. It explains step by step how cookies can be managed and deleted in most common browsers.

Use of Matomo

We use the web analysis tool Matomo to compile anonymous statistics on the use of our website. The processing takes place without cookies and without the collection of personal data. Your IP address is permanently anonymised immediately after collection so that it cannot be traced back to you personally.

The anonymous usage data is analysed exclusively to improve the content, structure and user-friendliness of our website. 

Matomo is configured in compliance with the GDPR and is operated on a server in Dresden, Germany. The anonymised usage data is also stored on this server and is automatically deleted after 24 months at the latest. The data is not passed on to third parties and is not processed outside the EU.
