The address (URL) of the website accessed
Your browser and browser version
Your operating system
The address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
Your IP address
Date and time

We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of unlawful conduct.

The legal basis is according to Article 6(1) f GDPR (lawfulness of processing) that there is a legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website by collecting web server log files.

Storage of personal data

Personal data which you transmit to us via this website (contact form: Name, e-mail address, your message incl. possibly telephone number, address, ...) are stored together with the time of transmission and your IP address and only used to process your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties or made accessible to third parties.
We never disclose your personal data without your consent, unless requested to do so by a law enforcement agency.
If you send us personal information by e-mail - outside of this website - we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your information and data. We recommend that you never send confidential information by e-mail.
The legal basis exists according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. (lawfulness of processing) that you give us consent to process the data you have entered. The consent comes into effect automatically when you send your message. You can revoke this consent at any time - an informal e-mail is sufficient, you will find our contact details in the imprint.

Rights according to the General Data Protection Regulation

According to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you are generally entitled to the following rights:

Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Article 17 GDPR)
Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
Right to notification - obligation to notify in connection with the rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing (Article 19 GDPR)

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed or violated, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which in Austria is the data protection authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.

Evaluation of visitor behaviour

The evaluation of the collected data is anonymous and we cannot draw any conclusions about your person from the collected data.
Our website uses functions of the web analysis service "Matomo". Cookies are used for this purpose, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by it's users. The information thus generated is transferred to our server and stored there. Your IP address is recorded, but immediately pseudonymised (by deleting the last 8 bits). This means that only only a rough localisation is possible (country). Our concern in terms of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our web presence.

TLS encryption with HTTPS

We use HTTPS to transmit data tap-proof on the Internet (data protection through technology design - Article 25(1) GDPR). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognise the use of this data transmission protection by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser and the use of the https (instead of http) scheme as part of our Internet address.

Cookies

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. A cookie is a small text file which is exchanged between your browser and our web server. It stores, for example, your shopping cart in an online shop. We use cookies to enable the analysis of user behaviour (chapter: Evaluation of visitor behaviour). Some cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
