Data protection
privacy
We have written this data protection declaration in order to explain to you in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation what information we collect, how we use data and what choices you have as a visitor to this website.
Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible.
Automatic data storage
When you visit websites today, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.
If you visit our website as you are right now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as the IP address of your device, the addresses of the subpages visited, details about your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, ...) and date and time. We do not use this data and usually do not pass it on, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal behavior.
storage of personal data
Personal data that you transmit to us electronically on this website, such as name, e-mail address, address or other personal information when submitting a form or comments on the blog, will be stored by us together with the time and the IP Address used only for the purpose stated, kept safe and not passed on to third parties. We therefore only use your personal data to communicate with those visitors who expressly request contact and to process the services and products offered on this website. We do not pass on your personal data without your consent, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal behavior.
If you send us personal data by e-mail - thus outside of this website - we cannot guarantee a secure transmission and the protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data unencrypted by e-mail.
Your rights
In principle, you have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data transferability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose websites can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.
TLS encryption with https
We use https to transmit encrypted data on the Internet. You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol in the top left corner of the browser and the use of the https scheme as part of our Internet address.
cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. A cookie is a short data package that is exchanged between the web browser and web server, but is completely meaningless for them and only has meaning for the web application, e.g. an online shop, such as the content of a virtual shopping cart. There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies are created by our website, third-party cookies are created by other websites (e.g. Google Analytics). There are three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies to ensure basic functions of the website, functional cookies to ensure the performance of the website and target-oriented cookies to improve the user experience. 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 recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. You can delete cookies that are already on your computer or disable cookies at any time. The procedure for doing this varies depending on the browser, it is best to search for the instructions in Google using the search term "delete cookies chrome" or "deactivate cookies chrome" in the case of a Chrome browser, or exchange the word "chrome" for the name of your browser, e.g. edge , firefox, safari off. If you generally do not allow us to use cookies, ie deactivate them via browser settings, some functions and pages may not work as expected.
