Privacy
We have prepared this privacy policy in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation to explain what information we collect, how we use data, and what options you have as a visitor to this website.
Unfortunately, such statements are often very technical in nature. However, we have made every effort to describe the most important aspects as clearly and simply as possible.
Automatic Data Storage
When you visit websites today, certain information is automatically created and stored — this also applies to this website.
When you visit our website, our web server (the computer on which this website is hosted) automatically stores data such as your device’s IP address, the addresses of the subpages visited, details about your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.), as well as the date and time of your visit.
We do not use this data and generally do not pass it on to third parties. However, we cannot rule out that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful activity.
Storage of Personal Data
Personal data that you transmit to us electronically via this website — such as your name, email address, postal address, or other personal information submitted through a contact form or blog comments — is used solely for the stated purpose, together with the time of submission and your IP address. It is securely stored and not shared with third parties.
We use your personal data only to communicate with visitors who explicitly request contact and to process the services and products offered on this website. We do not disclose your personal data without consent. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that such data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.
If you send us personal data via email — outside of this website — we cannot guarantee secure transmission or protection of your data. We recommend that you never transmit confidential data unencrypted by email.
Your Rights
You generally have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, withdrawal of consent, and objection.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your rights have otherwise been infringed, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority. Their website can be found at www.dsb.gv.at.
TLS Encryption with HTTPS
We use HTTPS to transmit data securely over the internet. Through the use of TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission, we ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognize secure data transmission by the small lock icon in the top left corner of your browser and by the use of “https” at the beginning of our website address.
Cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
A cookie is a small data packet exchanged between the web browser and the web server. It is meaningless for both but becomes relevant for web applications — for example, to store the contents of a virtual shopping cart.
There are two types of cookies:
- First-party cookies, created by our website.
- Third-party cookies, created by other websites (e.g. Google Analytics).
Cookies are divided into three categories:
- Essential cookies to ensure basic website functionality.
- Functional cookies to ensure website performance.
- Targeting cookies to improve 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 allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
If you do not wish this, you can configure your browser to inform you about cookie usage and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis.
You can delete or disable cookies at any time. The procedure differs depending on the browser. It is best to search for instructions using terms such as “delete cookies chrome” or “disable cookies chrome” and replace “chrome” with your browser name (e.g. Edge, Firefox, Safari).
If you disable cookies in your browser, certain functions and pages may not work as expected.
Google Maps Privacy Policy
We use Google Maps from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website.
By using the map functions, data is transmitted to Google. You can find more information about what data Google collects and how it is used at:
www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Google Analytics Privacy Policy
We use Google Analytics from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to statistically analyze visitor data. Google Analytics uses targeting cookies.
More information about the terms of use and privacy policy can be found at:

Pseudonymization
Our goal, in accordance with the GDPR, is to improve our services and website. Since user privacy is important to us, user data is pseudonymized.
Data processing is based on legal provisions under § 96 para. 3 of the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG) and Article 6(1)(a) (consent) and/or (f) (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.
Deactivation of Data Collection by Google Analytics
Using the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), website visitors can prevent Google Analytics from using their data.
You can prevent the collection and processing of data generated by the cookie and related to your website usage by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:
tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Google Analytics IP Anonymization
We have implemented IP anonymization for Google Analytics on this website.
This function was developed by Google to help websites comply with data protection regulations that prohibit storing full IP addresses.
IP anonymization occurs as soon as IP addresses reach the Google Analytics data collection network and before storage or processing takes place.
More information on IP anonymization can be found at:
support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052
Google Fonts Privacy Policy
We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website.
Google Fonts is used without authentication, and no cookies are sent to the Google Fonts API.
If you have a Google account, none of your account data is transmitted to Google during the use of Google Fonts.
Google only records the usage of CSS and the fonts used and stores this data securely.
