Data protection

The protection of your personal data is particularly important to us. We process your data exclusively based on legal regulations (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within our website.

Contacting Us
If you contact us via a form on the website or by email, the data you provide will be stored by us for six months to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. A cookie is a small file that can be stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are generally used to offer users additional functions on a website. For example, they can be used to facilitate navigation on a website, allow you to continue using a website where you left off, and/or save your preferences and settings for future visits. Cookies cannot access, read, or modify any other data on your computer.

Most of the cookies on our website are so-called session cookies. They are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your computer until you manually delete them in your browser.

If you want to control cookies on your computer, you can adjust your browser settings to notify you when a website wants to store cookies. You can also block or delete cookies that are already stored on your computer. If you want to know more about how to take these steps, please use the "Help" function in your browser.

Google Web Fonts
Our website uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. To do this, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers, which informs Google that your IP address accessed our website. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of providing a consistent and attractive presentation of our online services. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font from your computer will be used instead.

For more information on Google Web Fonts, please visit: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and the Google privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

SSL Encryption
To protect your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) over HTTPS.

Social Media Cookies
We use social media plugins to enable users to share or recommend content from social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr. We use a two-stage procedure for this purpose. Data is transferred to third parties only when users click on one of the icons displayed in the social media bar. We have neither influence over nor access to cookies set by Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.

Google reCAPTCHA
To protect input forms on our site, we use the "reCAPTCHA" service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter referred to as "Google". This service allows us to differentiate whether an input is of human origin or if it is being misused by automated machine processing.

To the best of our knowledge, the referrer URL, IP address, user behavior on the website, operating system information, browser data, length of stay, cookies, display instructions, scripts, user input behavior, and mouse movements in the reCAPTCHA checkbox area are transmitted to Google.

The IP address provided as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data unless you are logged into your Google account when using the reCAPTCHA plugin. If you want to prevent this data transfer and storage by Google, you need to log out of your Google account before visiting our website or using the reCAPTCHA plugin.

Google Maps
This website uses the product Google Maps by Google LLC. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of automatically collected data by Google LLC, its representatives, and third parties.

YouTube
Our website may use plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of these pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin and start playing a video, a connection to YouTube servers is established, and YouTube is informed which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Storage Duration
We store your data as long as legal retention obligations exist or as long as storage is necessary to fulfill our legal obligations. Beyond that, data will be stored as long as warranty, guarantee, or limitation periods have not yet expired.

Your Rights
You have the rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, transfer, withdraw, and object to your data. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
