3. General infor­mation and mandatory infor­mation

Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confi­dential infor­mation and in compliance with the statutory data protection regula­tions (in parti­cular the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act – DSG) and this Data Protection Decla­ration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal infor­mation will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to perso­nally identify you. This Data Protection Decla­ration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the infor­mation is collected.

We herewith advise you that the trans­mission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e‑mail commu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permis­sible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or company-law retention periods under the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code (BAO) or the Austrian Business Code (UGB)); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General infor­mation on the legal basis for the data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to infor­mation in your end device (e.g., via device finger­printing), the data processing is additio­nally based on § 165 (3) TKG 2021. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the imple­men­tation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­mation on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax autho­rities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transac­tions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct adver­tising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVI­SIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLA­RATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTIT­LE­MENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVER­TISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSE­QUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent super­visory agency

In the event of viola­tions of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a super­visory agency. The competent super­visory authority for Austria is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Barich­gasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, e‑mail: dsb@​dsb.​gv.​at, website: https://​www​.dsb​.gv​.at). The right to log a complaint can in parti­cular be asserted in the member state where the data subject usually maintains their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other adminis­trative or court procee­dings available as legal recourses.

Right to data porta­bility

You have the right to have data that we process automa­ti­cally on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is techni­cally feasible.

Infor­mation about, recti­fi­cation and eradi­cation of data

Within the scope of the appli­cable statutory provi­sions, you have the right to demand infor­mation about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradi­cated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restric­tions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restric­tions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this inves­ti­gation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradi­cation of this data.
  • If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entit­le­ments, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradi­cation.
  • If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entit­le­ments or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the trans­mission of confi­dential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored tempo­r­arily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are perma­nently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automa­ti­cally deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automa­ti­cally eradi­cated by your web browser.

Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are techni­cally essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promo­tional purposes.

Cookies, which are required for the perfor­mance of electronic commu­ni­cation transac­tions, for the provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the techni­cally error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition techno­logies has been requested, the processing occurs exclu­sively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 165 (3) TKG 2021); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the accep­tance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradi­cation of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deacti­vated, the functions of this website may be limited.

If other cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this infor­mation in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automa­ti­cally collects and stores infor­mation in so-called server log files, which your browser commu­ni­cates to us automa­ti­cally. The infor­mation comprises:

  • The type and version of browser used
  • The used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • The hostname of the accessing computer
  • The time of the server inquiry
  • The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the techni­cally error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Request by e‑mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e‑mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the perfor­mance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provi­sions – in parti­cular statutory retention periods under BAO and UGB – remain unaffected.
