Introduction and overview
We have written this Privacy Statement (version 25.08.2024) to explain to you in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (short data) we are responsible – and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. B. Providers) – will be processed in the future and what legitimate possibilities you have. The terms used are to be understood as a gender-neutral manner.
In short: We will provide you with comprehensive information about the data we process about you.

Data protection declarations usually sound very technical and use legal terms. This privacy policy, however, is intended to describe the most important things as simple and transparent as possible. As far as transparency is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links are provided for further information and graphics are used. We shall therefore inform in clear and simple language that we process personal data within the scope of our business activities only if there is an appropriate legal basis. This is certainly not possible if you make as brief, unclear and legal-technical statements as possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you will find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps there is one or two information you did not know yet.
If you still have any questions, please contact the responsible body mentioned below or in the imprint, to follow the existing links and to view further information on third-party sites. Of course, you will also find our contact details in the imprint.

Scope of application
This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data that processes our companies (processors) commissioned by us. By means of personal data we mean information in the sense of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR such as the name, e-mail address and postal address of a person. The processing of personal data ensures that we offer and can settle our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy includes:

all online appearances (websites, online shops) that we operate
Social Media Performances and Email Communications
Mobile Apps for Smartphones and Other Devices
In short, the privacy policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in the company in a structured manner via the channels mentioned. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside these channels, we may inform you separately.

Legal bases
In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data.
As regards EU law, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 July 69. April 2016. Of course, you can read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, access to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/?uri-celex%3A32016R0679.

We process your data only if at least one of the following conditions applies:

Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of your entered data of a contact form.
Contract (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR): In order to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
Legal obligation (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to cancel invoices for accounting. These usually contain personal data.
Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.
Other conditions such as the perception of recordings in the public interest and exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests usually do not appear in our country. If such a legal basis is to be relevant, it will be shown at the appropriate place.

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

In Austria, this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons in the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG for short.
In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act applies, or BDSG for short.
If further regional or national laws are applied, we will inform you in the following sections.

Storage duration
The fact that we store personal data only as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products is considered to be a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing is no longer available. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has lapsed, for example for accounting purposes.

If you wish to have your data deleted or withdraw your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and as far as no obligation to store it.

We will inform you below if we have further information about the specific duration of the respective data processing.

Explanation of terms used
We always try to write our privacy policy as clearly and comprehensibly as possible. However, this is not always easy, especially with technical and legal issues. It often makes sense legal terms (such as e.g. personal data) or certain technical terms (e.g. B. Cookies, IP address). We do not want to use them without explanation. Below you will find an alphabetical list of important terms used, which we may not have been sufficiently discussed in the previous privacy policy. If these terms have been taken from the GDPR and these are definitions, we will also cite the GDPR texts and, if necessary, add their own explanations.

Explanation: Usually, such consent is done for websites via a cookie consent tool. You know this certainly. Whenever you visit a website for the first time, you are usually asked via a banner whether you agree or agree to the data processing. In most cases, you can also make individual settings and decide for yourself which data processing you allow and which you do not. If you do not consent, no personal data may be processed by you. In principle, of course, consent can also be given in writing, i.e. not via a tool.

Personal data
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR

For the purposes of this regulation, the expression shall be:

“Personal data” any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is considered to be identifiable who may be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more characteristics, the expression of the physical, physical, physical, genetic, psychological, psychological, economic, or cultural, or cultural identity, or cultural, or cultural identity, or cultural, or cultural identity;

Therefore, the storage of an IP address also requires a legal basis for the sense of the GDPR. There are also so-called “special categories” of personal data, which are also particularly worthy of protection. These include:

racial and ethnic origin
political opinions
religious or ideological beliefs
the union membership
