Privacy
Introduction and Overview
We have written this data protection declaration (version 08.07.2023-312539934) in order to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (in short, data) we process as the person responsible – and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) – will process in the future and which lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood gender-neutral.
In short: We provide you with comprehensive information about the data we process about you.
Data protection declarations usually sound very technical and use legal technical terms. This privacy policy, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as it is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. We hereby inform in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the context of our business activities if a corresponding legal basis is given. This is certainly not possible if you make as concise, unclear and legal-technical statements as possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and maybe there is one or the other information that you did not know yet.
If you still have any questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible body mentioned below or in the imprint, follow the existing links and look at further information on third-party sites. Of course, you will also find our contact details in the imprint.
Scope
This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (processors). By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO, such as a person's name, e-mail address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill for 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 appearances and e-mail communication
mobile apps for smartphones and other devices
In short: The data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner in the company via the channels mentioned. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.
Legal documents
In the following data protection declaration, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. Of course, you can find this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the access to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679 read up.
We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
Consent (Article 6(1) lit. a DSGVO): 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) lit. b DSGVO): 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) lit. c DSGVO): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting. These usually contain personal data.
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1) lit. f DSGVO): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we have to process certain data in order to be able to operate our website safely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.
Other conditions such as the perception of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not usually occur with us. If such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be indicated 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 with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG for short.
In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, or BDSG for short, applies.
If other regional or national laws are applicable, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage period
The fact that we only store personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products is considered a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes.
If you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and as far as there is no obligation to store it.
We will inform you about the specific duration of the respective data processing below, if we have further information on this.
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
In accordance with Articles 13, 14 GDPR, we inform you about the following rights that you are entitled to, so that there is a fair and transparent processing of data:
According to Article 15 DSGVO, you have a right to information about whether we process your data. If this is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to receive the following information:
for what purpose we carry out the processing;
the categories, i.e. the types of data that are processed;
who receives this data and if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
how long the data will be stored;
the existence of the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
that you can complain to a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found below);
the origin of the data if we have not collected it from you;
whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated in order to reach a personal profile of you.
According to Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to have the data corrected, which means that we must correct the data if you find any errors.
According to Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), which means in concrete terms that you may request the erasure of your data.
According to Article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to restrict processing, which means that we may only store the data more but not continue to use it.
According to Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a common format on request.
According to Article 21 DSGVO, you have a right of objection, which entails a change in the processing after enforcement.
If the processing of your data is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. e (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6 para. 1 lit. f (legitimate interest), you can object to the processing. We will then check as soon as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.
If data is used for direct marketing purposes, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for direct marketing after that.
If data is used for profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for profiling after that.
According to Article 22 of the GDPR, you may have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (for example, profiling).
According to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint. This means that you can complain to the data protection authority at any time if you believe that the data processing of personal data violates the GDPR.
In short: you have rights – do not hesitate to contact the responsible body listed above with us!
