Privacy Policy
Introduction
The protection of your personal data is of particular importance to us. We process your data exclusively on the basis of legal provisions (GDPR, Austrian Telecommunications Act 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within the scope of our website.
Definitions
The privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The following terms are used:
- Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
- Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
- Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
- Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
- Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not.
- Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies.
Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
Collection of General Data and Information
Our website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, we analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
Contact Possibility via the Website
Our website contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to. If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Rights of the Data Subject
Right of Confirmation
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed.
Right of Access
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about their personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information.
Right to Rectification
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the grounds provided by the GDPR applies.
Right of Restriction of Processing
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the conditions provided by the GDPR applies.
Right to Data Portability
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Right to Object
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning them. The controller shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, as long as the decision is not necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract, is not authorized by Union or Member State law, or is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may, at any time, contact us.
