Privacy Policy

Introduction and overview

We have written this privacy policy (version 07.09.2021) in order to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (data for short) we as controller – and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) – process, will process in the future, and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data we process about you.

Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal jargon. This privacy policy, on the other hand, aims to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. Insofar as it is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. In this way, we inform you in clear and simple language that, in the course of our business activities, we only process personal data if there is a corresponding legal basis. That is certainly not possible if one gives concise, unclear and legal-technical explanations, as is often standard on the internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative, and perhaps there is some information you did not yet know.
If questions nevertheless remain, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible body named below or in the legal notice, to follow the links provided and to view further information on third-party sites. You will of course also find our contact details in the legal notice.

Scope of application

This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (processors). By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, such as a person’s name, e-mail address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill for our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy includes:

  • all online presences that we operate
  • social media presences and e-mail communication
  • mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The privacy policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner within the company via the channels mentioned. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside these channels, we will inform you separately where appropriate.

Legal bases

In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, that enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. You can of course read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the access point to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

  1. Consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of the data you entered in a contact form.
  2. Contract (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR): In order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. If, for example, we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
  3. Legal obligation (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for our accounting. These usually contain personal data.
  4. Legitimate interests (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we have to process certain data in order to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

Further conditions such as the performance of tasks in the public interest and the exercise of official authority, as well as the protection of vital interests, do not generally arise in our case. Should such a legal basis nevertheless be relevant, it will be indicated at the appropriate place.

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

  • In Austria this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG.
  • In Germany the Federal Data Protection Act, or BDSG, applies.

Insofar as further regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage period

That we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products is a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for processing the data no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to apply, for example for accounting purposes.

Should you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to store it.

We will inform you about the specific duration of the respective data processing further below, insofar as we have further information on this.

Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

Pursuant to Article 13 GDPR, you have the following rights so that data is processed fairly and transparently:

  • Pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, you have a right of access as to whether we process data about you. If that is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to learn the following information:
    • for what purpose we carry out the processing;
    • the categories, i.e. the types of data, that are processed;
    • who receives this data and, if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
    • how long the data is stored;
    • the existence of the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
    • that you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (you will find links to these authorities below);
    • the origin of the data, if we did not collect it from you;
    • whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated in order to arrive at a personal profile of you.
  • Pursuant to Article 16 GDPR, you have a right to rectification of the data, which means that we must correct data if you find errors.
  • Pursuant to Article 17 GDPR, you have the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), which specifically means that you may request the deletion of your data.
  • Pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, you have the right to restriction of processing, which means that we may only store the data but not use it further.
  • Pursuant to Article 19 GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that on request we make your data available to you in a common format.
  • Pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, you have a right to object, which, once enforced, brings about a change in the processing.
    • If the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest), you can object to the processing. We will then check as quickly as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.
    • If data is used to conduct direct advertising, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may then no longer use your data for direct marketing.
    • If data is used to conduct profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may then no longer use your data for profiling.
  • Pursuant to Article 22 GDPR, you may under certain circumstances have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (for example profiling).

In short: You have rights – do not hesitate to contact the responsible body listed above at our company!

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been infringed in any other way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. For Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website you can find at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany there is a data protection officer for each federal state. For further information you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI). The following local data protection authority is responsible for our company:
