Introduction and Overview

We have composed this privacy policy (Version 20.05.2022-122031173) in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, to explain to you which personal data (referred to as data) we, as data controllers – and the data processors we employ (e.g., providers) – process, will process in the future, and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood in a gender-neutral manner.
In short: We comprehensively inform you about the data we process about you.

Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal jargon. However, this privacy policy aims to describe the most important aspects to you as simply and transparently as possible. To enhance transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links to further information are provided, and graphics are utilized. Thus, we clearly and simply inform you that, within the scope of our business activities, we only process personal data when there is a corresponding legal basis. Achieving this isn't feasible when providing brief, unclear, and legally technical explanations, as is often the standard on the internet when it comes to privacy. We hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative, perhaps uncovering some information you were not previously aware of.
If questions persist, we kindly ask you to contact the responsible entity mentioned below or in the legal notice, follow the provided links, and seek additional information on third-party sites. Our contact details can, of course, also be found in the legal notice.

Scope

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

•   all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
•   social media presences and email communication
•   mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The privacy policy applies to all areas where personal data in the company is structuredly processed via the mentioned channels. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.

Legal Basis

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

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

1.   Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be storing your entered data from a contact form.
2.   Contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): To fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information beforehand.
3.   Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obligated to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These typically contain personal data.
4.   Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not infringe on your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we may need to process certain data to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. Therefore, this processing is a legitimate interest.

Other conditions such as the exercise of recordings in the public interest and exercising public authority, as well as the protection of vital interests, usually do not apply to us. If such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be indicated at the respective point.

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

•   In Austria, this is the Federal Act concerning the Protection of Individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), abbreviated as DSG.
•   In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, abbreviated as BDSG, applies.

If further regional or national laws apply, we will inform you in the following sections.

Cookies

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. A cookie is a small data package that is exchanged between a web browser and a web server, but is completely meaningless to them until it gains significance for the web application, such as an online shop, for instance, the contents of a virtual shopping cart. There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies are created by our website, while third-party cookies are created by other websites (e.g., Google Analytics). There are three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies to ensure basic functions of the website, functional cookies to ensure the performance of the website, and target-oriented cookies to enhance the user experience. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
If you do not wish this, you can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow this only in individual cases.
You can delete or disable cookies that are already stored on your computer at any time. The procedure for this varies depending on the browser; it's best to search for the instructions on Google using the search term "delete cookies chrome" or "disable cookies chrome" for a Chrome browser, or replace the word "chrome" with the name of your browser, e.g., edge, Firefox, Safari. If you generally do not allow us to use cookies, i.e., deactivate them through your browser settings, some functions and pages may not work as expected.
