Privacy Policy
Data Protection
We have created this Privacy Policy to inform you, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as the GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), on which legal basis we collect your personal data, how we use it, and which rights you have as a visitor of this website.
General Information on Data Processing
Protecting your personal data is of particular importance to us.
We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the applicable statutory provisions.
This Privacy Policy explains the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data within our online offering and the associated websites.
It applies regardless of the devices used (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) or the domains or platforms through which this online offering is accessed.
Collection of Personal Data
When using terms such as “personal data” or “controller,” we refer to the definitions set forth in Article 4 GDPR.
Within our online offering, we process personal data such as
Usage data (e.g. the websites of our online offering visited), and
Content data (e.g. entries made in forms or data fields).
The term “user” covers all categories of persons affected by data processing.
These include, in particular, our contractual partners, customers, suppliers, processors, interested parties, and any other visitors to our website.
Your personal data will be processed strictly in accordance with the relevant data-protection provisions.
This means that your data will only be processed if there is a corresponding legal basis.
Legal Bases
In accordance with Article 6 (1) GDPR, the following legal bases may apply:
a) Consent of the data subject (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR)
b) Contract performance or steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR)
c) Legal obligation (Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR)
d) Protection of vital interests of the data subject (Art. 6 (1)(d) GDPR)
e) Task carried out in the public interest (Art. 6 (1)(e) GDPR)
f) Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR)
Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
Your data will only be shared with third parties if one of the aforementioned legal bases applies.
As a rule, we will transfer your data to third parties only if:
you have given your consent,
this is necessary for contract performance, or
we are legally obliged to do so.
Data are shared solely with recipients named for these specific purposes.
In cases of transfer under Article 6 (1)(d)–(f) GDPR, we will provide justification for the measure.
If we engage processors to perform services, we conclude processing agreements with them and require them to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data.
Where third-party tools or services are used whose providers are based in third countries outside the EU or EEA, we assume that data transfers to these countries may occur.
Such transfers will take place only if there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, an adequate level of data protection, or the user’s explicit consent.
Provision of Contractual and Pre-Contractual Services
We process contact data (e.g. name, email address, phone number) and contract data (e.g. services used, payment information).
The data you provide are required to fulfill or initiate a contract.
Without these data, we cannot conclude or execute a contract with you.
In addition, we process usage data (e.g. pages visited on our website) to continuously improve our offering and to handle inquiries.
Contacting Us
If you contact us by email or via a contact form, we process your information for the purpose of handling your request and its follow-up.
Your data will be stored in our customer-relationship-management (CRM) system for this purpose.
Automatic Data Storage
When you visit our website, certain information is automatically created and stored.
Each time you access our website, the web server automatically saves data such as:
the address (URL) of the accessed page,
browser type and version,
the operating system used,
the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL),
the hostname and IP address of the device used for access, and
the date and time of access.
These data are stored in so-called web-server log files.
Web-server log files are generally kept for two weeks and then automatically deleted.
We do not share these data; however, we cannot rule out that they may be accessed if unlawful behavior is suspected and a corresponding legal basis exists.
Our legitimate interest may lie in ensuring the proper operation of our website by recording and analyzing such log files.
Storage of Personal Data
Personal data that you electronically transmit to us on this website—such as your name, email address, or other personal details—are used solely for the stated purpose and at the moment of transmission together with the IP address.
We do not share this information with third parties.
Your personal data are used only for communication with you and for processing the services and products offered on this website.
We do not pass on your personal data without your consent.
If you send us personal data via email, please note that we cannot guarantee secure transmission or protection of your data.
We therefore recommend that you never send confidential information unencrypted by email.
Your Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
As a data subject under the GDPR, you are 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 communicate rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing (Article 19 GDPR)
Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)
Right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling (Article 22 GDPR)
If you believe that the processing of your data violates existing data-protection law, or that your data-protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde).
TLS Encryption with HTTPS
In accordance with Article 25 (1) GDPR, we use HTTPS to transmit data securely over the internet—data protection through technical design.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) ensures that confidential data are transmitted safely online.
You can recognize the use of secure data transmission by the small padlock symbol in the top-left corner of your browser and by “https” (instead of “http”) at the start of our internet address.

Most websites use cookies—small text files or other information units stored on your computer by your browser.
Cookies make our service more user-friendly, efficient, and secure; they do not damage your device or contain viruses.
Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser upon your next visit.
There are different types of cookies:
First-party cookies are set by our website,
Third-party cookies are set by other services (e.g., Google Analytics).
Cookies can be divided into three categories:
Strictly necessary cookies – to ensure basic website functionality
Functional cookies – to enhance performance
Targeted cookies – to improve user experience and analyze behavior
We primarily use session cookies, which are stored only for the duration of your current visit.
A session cookie contains a randomly generated session ID and information about its origin and storage period; no other data are saved.
Session cookies are deleted once you leave our website and close your browser.
Viewing and Deleting Cookies
