Used terms

„Personal data“ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter „data subject“); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g., cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

„Processing“ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers practically any handling of data.

„Pseudonymization“ means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

„Profiling“ means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

The „controller“ is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

„Processor“ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Article 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis of our data processing. Unless the legal basis is mentioned in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consents is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and carrying out contractual measures as well as responding to inquiries is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the case that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the related access, input, transfer, the securing of availability, and their separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and a response to data threats. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already in the development, or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, according to the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings (Article 25 GDPR).

Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, within the scope of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of the contract according to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called „data processing agreement“, this is done on the basis of Article 28 GDPR.

Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this happens in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure, or transmission of data to third parties, this is done only if it is necessary for the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the special conditions of Articles 44 ff. GDPR are met. That means the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of specific guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g., for the USA through the „Privacy Shield“) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called „standard contractual clauses“).

Cookies and right to object to direct advertising

„Cookies“ are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or „session cookies“ or „transient cookies,“ are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status can be stored. „Permanent“ or „persistent“ cookies are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be stored if the users visit these after several days. Likewise, the interests of users can be stored in such a cookie, which is used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. A „third-party cookie“ is a cookie offered by a provider other than the one responsible for the online offer (otherwise, if it is only its cookies, it is referred to as „first-party cookies“).

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the settings of the browser. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may then be used.

We use a consent management solution in which the user's consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers mentioned in the consent management solution is obtained. This procedure is used to obtain, log, manage and revoke consent, in particular with regard to the use of cookies and comparable technologies that are used to store, read and process information on users' end devices. As part of this procedure, user consent is obtained for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers mentioned in the consent management procedure. Users also have the option of managing and revoking their consent. The declarations of consent are stored in order to avoid repeated requests and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. The storage takes place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or by means of comparable technologies in order to be able to assign the consent to a specific user or their device. If no specific information on the providers of consent management services is available, the following general information applies: Consent is stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which is stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g. relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers) and information on the browser, system and end device used.

Registration, login and user account

Users can create a user account. As part of the registration process, users are provided with the required mandatory information and processed for the purpose of providing the user account on the basis of contractual fulfilment of obligations. The processed data includes in particular the login information (user name, password and an e-mail address). As part of the use of our registration and login functions and the use of the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. This data is stored on the basis of our legitimate interests and those of the user in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. This data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so. Users can be informed by email about processes that are relevant to their user account, such as technical changes.

Processed data types: inventory data (e.g. full name, residential address, contact information, customer number, etc.); contact data (e.g. postal and e-mail addresses or telephone numbers); content data (e.g. text or image messages and contributions as well as the information relating to them, such as information on authorship or time of creation); usage data (e.g. page views and length of stay, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions). Log data (e.g. log files relating to logins or the retrieval of data or access times).

Further information on processing operations, procedures and services: users may use pseudonyms as usernames instead of real names, users' profiles are not publicly visible or accessible, if users have cancelled their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, subject to legal permission, obligation or consent of the users, it is the responsibility of the users to back up their data in the event of cancellation before the end of the contract. We are authorised to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in their processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. That means the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

In accordance with legal requirements in Germany, the retention period is 10 years in accordance with §§ 147(1) AO, 257(1) Nos. 1 and 4, and (4) HGB (books, records, management reports, booking documents, commercial books, documents relevant to taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with § 257(1) Nos. 2 and 3, and (4) HGB (commercial letters).

In accordance with legal requirements in Austria, the retention period is 7 years in accordance with § 132(1) BAO (accounting documents, receipts/invoices, accounts, receipts, business papers, statements of income and expenses, etc.), 22 years in connection with real estate, and 10 years for documents related to electronically provided services, telecommunications, broadcasting, and television services provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU member states and for which the Mini-One-Stop-Shop (MOSS) is used.

Business-related processing

Additionally, we process Contract data (e.g., contractual object, duration, customer category), Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history) from our customers, prospective customers, and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service, and customer care, marketing, advertising, and market research.

In the context of using our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the interests of the users in protecting against misuse and other unauthorized use. A transfer of this data to third parties does not take place, unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

The deletion of the data takes place when the data is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of contractual or statutory duties of care and for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory retention obligations apply.

Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management

We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as organization of our business, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the context of providing our contractual services. The legal bases for processing are Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing affects customers, prospective customers, business partners, and website visitors. The purpose and our interest in processing lie in administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, performance of our tasks, and provision of our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and the contractual communication corresponds to the information provided for these processing activities.

In this context, we disclose or transfer data to the tax authorities, consultants, such as tax advisors or auditors, and other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, we store information on the basis of our business interests, e.g., for later contact. These majority business-related data are stored permanently.

Business analyses and market research

In order to operate our business economically, to recognize market trends, customer and user wishes, we analyze the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, metadata on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, whereby the affected persons include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors, and users of our online offer.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing, and market research. In doing so, we can take into account the profiles of registered users with information, for example, on their used services. The analyses serve us to increase user-friendliness, to optimize our offer, and business efficiency. The analyses are solely for our benefit and are not disclosed externally unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymized with the termination of the users, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. In addition, the overall business analyses and general trend determinations are created anonymously as far as possible.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form, email, phone, or social media), the user's details are processed to handle the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. User information may be stored in a Customer Relationship Management system („CRM system“) or a similar inquiry organization.

We delete inquiries if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.

Newsletter and electronic notifications

We send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter ‘newsletter’) exclusively with the consent of the recipient or on the basis of a legal basis. If the contents of the newsletter are mentioned in the context of a registration for the newsletter, these contents are decisive for the consent of the users. To subscribe to our newsletter, it is normally sufficient to provide your email address. However, in order to be able to offer you a personalised service, we may ask you to provide your name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter or to provide further information if this is necessary for the purpose of the newsletter. Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a potential defence against claims. An individual request for erasure is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the event of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address in a block list solely for this purpose. The registration process is logged on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of verifying that it is carried out properly. If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure dispatch system.

Processed data types: inventory data (e.g. full name, residential address, contact information, customer number, etc.); contact data (e.g. postal and email addresses or telephone numbers); meta, communication and process data (e.g. IP addresses, time data, identification numbers, persons involved). Usage data (e.g. page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions).

Option to object (opt-out): You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can otherwise use one of the contact options given above, preferably e-mail.

Measurement of opening and click rates: The newsletters contain a so-called ‘web beacon’, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server or its server, if we use a dispatch service provider, when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as details of the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether and when the newsletters are opened and which links are clicked on. The information is assigned to the individual newsletter recipients and stored in their profiles until it is deleted. The analyses are used to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Collection of Access Data and Log Files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data include the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum duration of 7 days and then deleted. Data, whose further retention is required for evidence purposes, are excluded from the deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident.

Web analysis, monitoring and optimisation

Web analysis (also referred to as ‘reach measurement’) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offering and may include behaviour, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis, we can, for example, recognise at what time our online offering or its functions or content are most frequently used or invite visitors to reuse them. It also enables us to understand which areas require optimisation. In addition to web analysis, we may also use test procedures, for example to test and optimise different versions of our online offering or its components. Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e. data summarised for a usage process, may be created for these purposes and information may be stored in a browser or end device and then read out. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and the elements used there as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data from us or from the providers of the services we use, it is also possible to process location data. In addition, the IP addresses of users are stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e. pseudonymisation by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, no clear user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimisation, but pseudonyms. This means that neither we nor the providers of the software used know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purpose of the respective process. Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is consent. Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Processed data types: Usage data (e.g. page views and dwell time, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions). Meta, communication and process data (e.g. IP addresses, time data, identification numbers, persons involved).

Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services) Purposes of processing: Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors); profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles). Provision of our online services and user-friendliness. Storage and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the section ‘General information on data storage and deletion’. Storage of cookies for up to 2 years (Unless otherwise stated, cookies and similar storage methods may be stored on users' devices for a period of two years).

Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and analyse the use of our online offering on the basis of a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain any unique data, such as names or e-mail addresses. It is used to assign analysis information to an end device in order to recognise which content users have called up within one or more usage processes, which search terms they have used, which they have called up again or which they have interacted with our online offering. The time of use and its duration are also stored, as well as the sources of the users who refer to our online offering and technical aspects of their end devices and browsers. Pseudonymised user profiles are created with information from the use of various devices, whereby cookies may be used. Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. However, Analytics provides rough geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: City (and the city's inferred latitude and longitude), Continent, Country, Region, Subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). In the case of EU data traffic, the IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocalisation data before it is immediately deleted. It is not logged, is not accessible and is not used for any other purpose. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are performed on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing; service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/; Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymisation of the IP address); Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; Data processing agreement: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/; Basis for third country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF); Possibility of objection (opt-out): Opt-out plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, Settings for the display of advertisements: https://myadcenter.google.com/personalizationoff.

Google Tag Manager: We use Google Tag Manager, a software from Google that enables us to manage so-called website tags centrally via a user interface. Tags are small code elements on our website that are used to record and analyse visitor activity. This technology helps us to improve our website and the content offered on it. Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store any cookies with user profiles and does not carry out any independent analyses. Its function is limited to simplifying the integration and management of tools and services that we use on our website and making them more efficient. Nevertheless, when using the Google Tag Manager, the user's IP address is transmitted to Google, which is necessary for technical reasons in order to implement the services we use. Cookies may also be set in the process. However, this data processing only takes place if services are integrated via the Tag Manager. For more detailed information on these services and their data processing, please refer to the further sections of this privacy policy; service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com; Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; Data processing agreement:https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms.

Online Presence in Social Media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process the data of users as long as they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g., write posts on our online presences or send us messages.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

We use content or service offers from third-party providers within our online offer based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as „content“).

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as „web beacons“) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the „pixel tags“ information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
