Terminology used
“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 performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers practically any handling of data.
“Pseudonymisation” 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 organisational 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
“Controller” means 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 Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases of our data processing. Unless the legal basis is stated in this privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and contractual measures as well as responding to enquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Security measures
In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
The measures include in particular safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data as well as related access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and response to data threats. We also take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).
Cooperation with processors and third parties
If, in the course 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 contract performance pursuant to Art. 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 Art. 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 occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this is done only if it is necessary to fulfil 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 have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met, e.g. on the basis of special guarantees such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU, or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
Rights of data subjects
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed, and to information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR. You have the right, pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, to request completion of data concerning you or correction of inaccurate data concerning you. Pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that relevant data be deleted immediately, or alternatively, pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, to demand a restriction of the processing of the data. You have the right to receive the data concerning you that you have provided to us in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR and to request its transmission to other controllers.

You may object to the future processing of data concerning you in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR at any time. The objection may in particular be made against processing for direct marketing purposes.
Cookies and right to object to direct marketing
“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit within an online offering. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed.
We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in this privacy policy.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. Excluding cookies may lead to functional limitations of this online offering.
A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that then not all functions of this online offering may be usable.
Deletion of data
The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in their processing in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted. That means the data are blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
According to legal requirements in Germany, retention is in particular for 10 years pursuant to §§ 147(1) AO, 257(1) Nos. 1 and 4, (4) HGB, and 6 years pursuant to § 257(1) Nos. 2 and 3, (4) HGB.
According to legal requirements in Austria, retention is in particular for 7 years pursuant to § 132(1) BAO (accounting documents, vouchers/invoices, accounts, receipts, business papers, statement of income and expenditure, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate, and for 10 years for documents in connection with electronically supplied services, telecommunications, radio and television services provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU Member States for which the Mini-One-Stop-Shop (MOSS) is used.

Contact
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or social media), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the contact enquiry and its processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (within the framework of contractual/pre-contractual relationships) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (other enquiries). The user’s details may be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable enquiry organisation.
We delete the enquiries if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.
Hosting and email dispatch
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email dispatch, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.
In this context, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).
Collection of access data and log files
We, or our hosting provider, collect data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The access data include the name of the retrieved website, file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, 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 a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further retention is required for evidential purposes are exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
Integration of third-party services and content
Within our online offering, on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), we use content or service offerings of third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavour to use only such 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.
Depending on which embeds are actually used on this website (for example YouTube, Vimeo, Google Fonts, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap or social media plugins), the respective third-party privacy policies apply. You can find further details in the German version of this privacy policy or in the providers’ own privacy statements.
