General information

The protection and security of your personal data are important to us. This website therefore stores and processes data exclusively in accordance with the Austrian and European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a user, you consent to data processing in accordance with this declaration. The current version of the DSG VO can be found at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=DE

This privacy policy only applies to this website. If you are redirected to other sites via links on our pages, please inform yourself directly on the redirected website about the respective handling of your data. Your personal data (e.g. title, name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, bank details, credit card number) will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of Austrian data protection law. The following regulations inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.

The use of this website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail or via non-encrypted websites) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

When you place an order via our website, your transmitted or entered data will be checked manually or automatically against the existing database for validity and up-to-dateness and, if necessary, compared in order to correct the data stored by us. It may be necessary for our employees to contact you for this purpose. This is done by e-mail or telephone. The data you enter will be used exclusively for processing the order or handling the registration; the data will not be passed on to third parties.

Web analysis with Matomo

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo.

Matomo enables us to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when which pages were accessed and from which region. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

You have the option of preventing the actions you take here from being analysed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.
Your visit to this website is currently recorded by Matomo web analytics. Deselect this checkbox for opt-out.

IP anonymisation is used for the analysis with Matomo.
Your IP address is shortened before analysis and can therefore no longer be clearly assigned. (Quelle: https://www.e-recht24.de)

Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API, a map service of Google Inc (“Google”), to display an interactive map and to create directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify at least individual users on the basis of the data received. It is possible that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we have and can have no influence. You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display on our website.

The Google privacy policy & additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Social plugins from Facebook

We use social plugins from facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. The plugins can be recognised by the Facebook logo or the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. If, for example, you click on the “Like” button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Facebook also publicises your preferences for your Facebook friends. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our site with your Facebook account. Even if you are not logged in or do not have a Facebook account, your browser transmits information (e.g. which website you have accessed, your IP address) that is stored by Facebook. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.

For details on how Facebook handles your personal data and your rights in this regard, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected about you via our websites to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our websites.

Social Plugins from Instagram

We use social plugins from Instagram. These functions are offered by Instagram Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA.

Social Plugins from Xing

We use social plugins from the XING service. Our website uses the “Share button” from XING. Therefore, when you access the website, a connection to the servers of XING AG, Gänsemarkt 43, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, is established via your browser. This provides the share functions (e.g. displaying the counter value). We do not store any of your personal data when you access this website. In particular, XING does not store any IP addresses. Your usage behaviour is also not evaluated.

The current information on data protection with regard to the “Share button” and other relevant information in this regard can be found at https://www.xing.com/privacy.

Social Plugins from Pinterest

We use social plugins from the pinterest.com service. Pinterest.com is a service of Pinterest, Inc, 808 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. By embedding the “Pin it” button on our website, Pinterest receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Pinterest, Pinterest can assign this visit to our site to your Pinterest account and thus link the data. The data transmitted by clicking on the “Pin it” button is stored by Pinterest.

The current information on data protection with regard to the “Pin-it Button” and other relevant information can be found at http://pinterest.com/about/privacy/

To prevent Pinterest from associating your visit to our site with your Pinterest account, you must log out of your Pinterest account before visiting our site.

Social Plugins from Google+

We use the functions of Google+ on our website. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collecting and sharing information: You can use the Google+ button to publish information worldwide. You and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners via the Google+ button. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a content and information about the page that you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1s can be displayed as references together with your profile name and your photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and adverts on the Internet.

Google records information about your +1 activities in order to improve Google services for you and others. To be able to use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name that you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be displayed to users who know your e-mail address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of the information collected: In addition to the uses explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google Privacy Policy. Google may publish summarised statistics about the +1 activities of users or pass these on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or associated websites.

Google AdWords

We also use the advertising tool “Google Adwords” to advertise our website. As part of this, we use the “Conversion Tracking” analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA on our website. If you have reached our website via a Google advert, a cookie will be stored on your computer. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser places and stores on your computer. These so-called “conversion cookies” lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you as a user have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and have been redirected to our site.

The information collected with the help of “conversion cookies” is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These statistics tell us the total number of users who have clicked on our advert and also which pages of our website were subsequently accessed by the respective user. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

You can prevent the installation of “conversion cookies” by setting your browser accordingly, for example by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or specifically blocks only cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”.

You can find Google’s privacy policy in this regard at the following link:https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de

Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Collection and storage of personal data; type, purpose and use

When you visit this website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

IP address of the requesting computer,
Date and time of access,
Name and URL of the retrieved file,
Website from which the access is made (referrer URL),
the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name
of your access provider.

The possibility of processing this data on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR for purposes such as

ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
to ensure a comfortable use of our website,
the evaluation of system security and stability and
for further administrative purposes

We are currently taking advantage of this opportunity. Under no circumstances will the data collected be used to draw conclusions about your person.

Data security

The provider uses technical and organisational security measures to protect the data stored by users against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Data transfers between service providers are carried out using the SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer). In this case, this software encrypts all information transmitted by and to supporters.

All data is stored on the server of this website or on the servers of our service providers with whom contracts for order processing in accordance with Section 28 GDPR have been concluded with appropriate verification.
