Privacy Policy
General
he protection of your data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (EU GDPR / DSGVO in German; TKG: Law on Telecommunication, Austria). In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within the scope of our website.
When you visit our website, your IP address, start and end of the session are recorded for the duration of this session. This is necessary for technical reasons and thus constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR. Unless otherwise regulated in the following, this data will not be further processed by us.
Legal basis consent
You have voluntarily provided us with data about yourself and we process this data based on your consent for the following purposes:
To receive information about our services; to receive a newsletter; to be informed about new entries on a blog. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If consent is withdrawn, we will no longer process your data for the above-mentioned purposes. To withdraw your consent, contact us via: see “Contact” below.
Legal basis legitimate interests
We process data about you based on our legitimate interests or those of a third party within the meaning of Art 6 (1) f GDPR/DSGVO. This legitimate interest is, for example, the transfer of personal customer data within the company; the further processing of personal customer data; the necessary data processing by third parties as operators of computer systems in order to maintain IT security. Each case of legitimate interest is subject to individual consideration.
Storage period / deletion period
The fact that we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products applies as a general criterion with us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for processing the data no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes.
Should you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to store it.
Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
Processor
For this data processing, we use commissioned processors.
This concerns the External Hosting as well as the Content Management System (see below in sequence).

Information on legal remedies
As we process the data in our legitimate interests, you generally have the right to object if you have reasons arising from your particular situation that speak against this processing.
As we (also) process the data for direct marketing purposes, you can object to this processing for direct marketing purposes at any time.
You are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability and objection. To do this, please contact us.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in some way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is responsible.

Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Our hoster(s) will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil their performance obligations and follow our instructions in relation to such data.
