Data protection
No data protection officer has been appointed, as this is not required by law.
If you have any questions regarding your personal data, rights, suggestions or comments, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the legal notice.
General data protection
The protection and security of your personal data is very important to us. This website therefore stores and processes data exclusively in accordance with the Austrian and European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a user, you consent to data processing in accordance with this declaration. The current version of the GDPR can be found at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=DE
This privacy policy applies only to this website. If you are redirected to other sites via links on our pages, please refer to the respective website for information on how your data is handled. Your personal data (e.g. title, name, address, email address, telephone number, bank details, credit card number) will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of Austrian data protection law. The following provisions inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.
This website can generally be used without providing personal data. Where personal data (e.g. name, address or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail or via unencrypted websites) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
When placing an order via our website, the data you transmit or enter will be checked manually or automatically against our existing database to ensure that it is valid and up to date, and will be adjusted if necessary to correct the data stored by us. To this end, it may be necessary for our employees to contact you. This will be done by email or telephone. The data you enter will be used exclusively for processing your order or registration; it will not be passed on to third parties.
Rights of data subjects
Under Austrian data protection law and the European GDPR, you as a data subject have extensive rights. These rights are primarily intended to ensure greater transparency. Your rights as a data subject include the right to information about your personal data, the right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability (only in the case of a contractual relationship or consent) and the right to withdraw consent at any time.
As a data subject, the easiest way to exercise your rights is to send us an email. You can also do so by post, in person, or via the contact details provided in the legal notice.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority at any time regarding the processing of your personal data. The contact details of the data protection authority are:

Data deletion
Hier ist die juristisch präzise Übersetzung ins britische Englisch, angepasst für Datenschutzerklärungen (GDPR-konform):
Your data will be deleted as soon as the relevant contract with you has been fulfilled and there is no longer any legal obligation to retain the data. As a general rule, your data will therefore be deleted after seven years; retention period in accordance with § 132 BAO. Statutory/legal retention obligations or contractual obligations, e.g. towards customers regarding warranty or damages, or towards contractual partners, constitute a basis for continuing to store personal data. (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR – Basis for lawfulness of processing: legal obligation)

Information about cookies
There are three categories of cookies:
- Cookies that are strictly necessary to ensure the basic functionality of the website
- functional cookies to ensure the performance of the website
- targeted cookies to improve the user experience.
Some of the web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
When you write a comment on our website, this may constitute consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that you do not have to re-enter all this information when you write another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up some cookies to store your login information and display options. Login cookies expire after two days and display option cookies expire after one year. If you select ‘Stay logged in’ when logging in, your login will be maintained for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you have just edited. The cookie expires after one day.
Functional limitations without cookies
If you generally do not allow us to use cookies, certain functions and pages will not work as expected. In particular, the login will not work.
YouTube videos with a ‘click system’
The preview images of the video are stored locally on our server.
Clicking the ‘Play’ button embeds the video from YouTube. This may result in personal data being sent to YouTube and cookies being set by the provider. It is therefore possible that the provider may store your visits and analyse your behaviour. YouTube's and Google's privacy policy can be found at Google Privacy Policy.
Social plugins
This website does not use any social plugins that automatically send information to social media service providers when you visit our website.
References to social media services such as YouTube, Facebook, etc. are made exclusively via simple links. Data about your visit to our website (e.g. IP address, time, URL) or data available on your device (e.g. cookie information) will only be transferred to the respective providers when you consciously use the link.
Newsletter
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
You may revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by clicking on the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter.
SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Collection and storage of personal data; type, purpose and use
When you visit this website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website's server. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:
IP address of the requesting computer,
Date and time of access,
Name and URL of the retrieved file,
Website from which access is made (referrer URL)
browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name
Your access provider.
The possibility of processing this data on the legal basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for purposes such as:
- ensuring smooth connection to the website,
- ensuring comfortable use of our website,
- the evaluation of system security and stability, and
- for other administrative purposes
- We currently use this information. The data collected will under no circumstances be used to draw conclusions about your person.
Data security
The provider uses technical and organisational security measures to protect the data stored by the provider on behalf of users against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Data transfers between service providers are carried out using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure. In this case, this software encrypts all information transmitted from and to supporters.
All data is stored on the server of this website or on the servers of our service providers, with whom data processing agreements in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR have been concluded following appropriate verification.
