Privacy and cookies
We have drawn up this privacy policy to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and of the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), which information we collect, how we use data and what options you have as a visitor of this website.
Automatic data storage
When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.
When you visit our website, our web server (the computer on which this website is stored) will automatically store data such as
• the address (URL) of the website accessed
• browser and browser version
• the operating system used
• the address (URL) of the previously visited site (referrer URL)
• the host name and the IP address of the device from which access is made
• date and time
in files (web server log files).
As a general rule, web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data; however, we cannot rule out that this data is viewed in the event of unlawful conduct.
According to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (Lawfulness of processing), the legal basis is that there is a legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website through the acquisition of web server log files.
Storage of personal data
Personal data that you electronically transmit to us on this website, such as name, e-mail address or other personal information in the context of submitting a form, will be used by us together with the time and IP address for the respectively specified purpose, will be kept safe, and will not be passed on to third parties.
We therefore only use your personal data for communication with those visitors who expressly request contact and for processing the services and products offered on this website.

According to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (Lawfulness of processing), the legal basis is that you give us your consent to process the data you have submitted. You can revoke this consent at any time – an informal e-mail is sufficient. See “Legal information” for our contact data.

TLS encryption with https
We use https to transmit data securely on the Internet (Data protection through design Article 25(1) GDPR). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can tell that this form of data transfer protection is being used when you see the small lock symbol in the top left of the browser and if the scheme https (instead of http) is used as part of our internet address.
Cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to save user-specific data.
A cookie is a small data package that is exchanged between the web browser and the web server, but is completely meaningless for them. It only takes on a meaning for a web application, such as an online shop, for e.g. the contents of a virtual shopping cart.
There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies are created by our website, third-party cookies are created by other websites (e.g. Google Analytics).
There are three categories of cookies: cookies that are absolutely necessary to ensure basic functions of the website, functional cookies to ensure the performance of the website, and targeted cookies to improve the user experience.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies will remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
Type 1: Functional cookies
Type 2: Technical cookies
Type 3: Analytical cookies

See cookie settings and delete cookies
To find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, to change cookie settings or to delete cookies, see your browser settings:
• Safari: manage cookies and website data with Safari
• Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data stored on your computer by websites
• Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome
• Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
If you do not want data to be stored in cookies, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about cookies being placed and that you only allow such placement in individual cases. You can delete cookies that are already on your computer or deactivate cookies at any time. The procedure for doing this differs depending on the browser; it is best to search for the instructions in Google using the search keywords “delete cookies Chrome” or “deactivate cookies in Chrome” when using a Chrome browser or swap the word “Chrome” for the name of your browser, e.g. Edge, Firefox, Safari.
If you generally do not allow us to use cookies, i.e. if you deactivate them via your browser settings, some functions and pages might not work as expected.
Google Fonts privacy policy
On our website we use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.). The use of Google Fonts is without authentication and no cookies are sent to the Google Fonts API. If you have a Google account, none of your Google account data will be transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. Google merely records the use of CSS and the fonts used, and stores such data securely. Find out more about this at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq

Google Maps privacy policy
We use Google Maps from the company Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.) on our website.
By using the functions of this map, data is transmitted to Google. You can read what data is collected by Google and what this data is used for at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Google Analytics privacy policy
On this website we use Google Analytics from the company Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.) to statistically evaluate visitor data. Google Analytics uses targeted cookies for this purpose.
Pseudonymisation
Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR is to improve our offer and our website. The privacy of our users is important to us and user data is therefore pseudonymised. Data processing takes place on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 para. 3 Telecommunications Act as well as of Article 6 EU GDPR section 1 (a) (Consent) and/or (f) (Legitimate interest).
Deactivation of data collection by Google Analytics
By using the browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics Java Script (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), visitors of the website can prevent Google Analytics from using their data.
You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website, as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following website: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
