The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We process your data exclusively in accordance with the applicable legal regulations (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in connection with our website.
Personal data
Personal data refers to information about individuals whose identity is identified or identifiable.
This includes voluntarily provided information such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address.
You may, for example, provide this data on contact or registration pages.
Non-personal data refers to information that cannot be directly linked to your actual identity, such as your IP address.
We collect (apart from web server logs) personal data only when you voluntarily provide it to us — for instance, to request information materials, inquiries, orders, newsletter subscriptions, or online applications. These data are used exclusively to process the respective service and/or request.
Web server and mail server protocols
As is usual with almost all websites, the server on which our websites are located (hereinafter referred to as the „web server“) automatically collects information in web server logs when you visit us on the Internet. The web server automatically recognises certain non-personal data, such as your IP address, the date and time you visited our website, the pages you visited on our website, the website you visited previously, the browser you are using (e.g. Mozilla Firefox), the operating system you are using (e.g. Windows) and the domain name and address of your internet provider (e.g. UPC, A1 etc.). If our website uses cookies, the web server also stores this information. We regularly analyse these server logs so that we can determine which pages of our website are being visited. This gives us a more precise idea of how our website is used and how we can further optimise our offering. Furthermore, in the event of system abuse, we can use this information in co-operation with your internet provider and/or the local authorities to identify the perpetrator of this abuse. We do not create an individual profile of your usage behaviour. No personal reference can be derived from this and the data will not be passed on to third parties, even in extracts. This data is not merged with other data sources. Additional personal details such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address are not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, for example as part of an enquiry, order or registration.
Cookies
Our website uses session cookies. These are temporary files that make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
The cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
They do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses or malicious software.
Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. You can, however, configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent or to disable cookies altogether.
Integration of third-party services and content
We integrate third-party content and services (collectively referred to as “content”) on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Examples include embedding videos or fonts.
This requires that third-party providers perceive the IP address of users, as this is necessary for delivering the content to your browser.
We make every effort to use only providers that process IP addresses solely for content delivery.
Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes.
These pixel tags can be used to analyze visitor traffic on this website.
Pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device, containing details about the browser, operating system, referring websites, visit duration, and further usage data, which may be linked to similar information from other sources.
Below is an overview of the third-party providers we use, along with links to their respective privacy policies and information on how to opt out of data collection:

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate website activity, compile reports, and provide related services.
The IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies through your browser settings, though this may limit website functionality.
