3. Purposes of Data Processing and Legal Bases

General website visit:
When you visit our website, we collect and store access data in log files, also known as server logs or access logs, in order to ensure the long-term functionality and availability of the website. In this context, we process the following data and information:

IP address
Date and time of access
Websites from which you access our site (referrer URL)
Operating system
Name of the Internet service provider
Product and version information of the browser used
Amount of data transferred, loading time

The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legitimate interest lies in ensuring the functionality, security, and availability of the website for all visitors and, where applicable, in the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

You have the right to object to this data processing (data subject’s right to object to data processing based on legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). In such a case, we will only continue to process your data if we have compelling legitimate grounds for further processing.

It is not possible to draw direct conclusions about your identity based on this information. The data is automatically deleted once the aforementioned purposes have been achieved.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies on our website. Consequently, no corresponding processing of your personal data takes place, for example no transfer of data to third parties for analysis or tracking purposes.

4. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use profiling measures or automated decision-making.

5. Data Disclosure and Recipients

As a rule, we only disclose data collected on the basis of your use of our website to the extent absolutely necessary to fulfil the stated purposes, such as the operation and maintenance of the website by external service providers or the disclosure of data to email providers for the handling of communications. In addition, we may also be legally or officially required to disclose data to third parties, for example to law enforcement authorities.

In all cases of data disclosure, we ensure that only the absolutely necessary information is transmitted and that the data protection requirements for data disclosure are complied with, for example strict instruction-based processing by processors through contracts pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, obligations of secrecy and confidentiality, and the obligation to fully maintain an adequate level of protection when processing personal data.

6. Data Retention Period

Your data will only be stored for as long as this is technically and organisationally necessary to achieve the stated purposes and to fulfil the legal obligations incumbent upon us. We retain log file data for a period of 6 months. Where applicable, we may also retain your personal data for certain periods on the legal basis of legitimate interest. When determining these periods, we ensure that your rights and freedoms are not infringed. If retention of the data is no longer necessary, we will delete your data without delay.

7. Data Subject Rights / Your Rights to Protect Your Personal Data

With regard to the personal data concerning you that we process, you have a number of rights. You may exercise all these rights free of charge and without any specific form requirement by email, telephone, or post, where applicable after proof of your identity, using the contact details provided. Your rights in detail:

Right of access: You may request information about the data we process at any time and without any specific form requirement. In this case, we will inform you in writing which data we have stored about you, for what purposes we use it, to which categories of recipients we disclose it, and for how long we intend to continue storing it. We will comply with your request for information without delay and, at the latest, within one month.

Right to erasure: You have the right at any time to request, without any specific form requirement, the deletion of your data processed by us. We will comply with this request if your data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, if you withdraw any existing consent, in the event of unlawful data processing, or if deletion is required to fulfil a legal obligation.

Right to rectification: If we accidentally process inaccurate or incomplete data about you, we will of course correct it. An informal request addressed to us is sufficient for this purpose.

Right to restriction of processing: If deletion of your data is not possible or is not desired by you, but you do not consent to any use of the data beyond its storage, we are obliged, upon your request, to restrict the further processing of your personal data.

Right to data portability: Upon your informal request, we will provide you free of charge with the data we have stored about you, which we have received on the basis of a contract or your consent, in a commonly used file format. You may use this data for your own purposes and pass it on to future contractual partners. If you so wish and if technically feasible, we will also transfer your data directly to a recipient named by you. In this case, we will inform you once the transfer has been completed. We will comply with your request without delay and, at the latest, within one month.

Right to withdraw consent granted: You may withdraw consent granted for data processing at any time with effect for the future, in which case we will cease the data processing. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to that point is not affected by the withdrawal of consent.

Right to object: If we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest, you have the right under the General Data Protection Regulation to object to the further processing of your data. If you exercise this right, we will no longer process your data for the purpose to which you have objected — unless there are legitimate grounds on our part for further processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

8. Right to Lodge a Complaint

The EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Austrian Data Protection Act guarantee you the above-mentioned rights in the area of data protection. If you believe that we have violated any of these rights, you have the option of lodging a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The supervisory authority in Austria is the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna.

9. Data Security

We take all necessary and appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against loss and misuse. Your data is stored in a secure operating environment that corresponds to the current state of the art.

Access to our website is secured via HTTPS. This means that communication between your device and our servers is encrypted.
