Data processing:
We process your personal data exclusively for the following purposes:
Only with your consent in our cookie banner:
We collect this data exclusively from you, either because you provide it to us via our contact form or because we collect it based on your use of our website.
For the purpose 1a mentioned above, we also create server logs about your visit to our website. The server logs created contain certain metadata about your visit to our website (e.g. IP address, type of browser used, date and time of access). Generally, the data collected in this way cannot be associated with you as an identified person, but in exceptional cases it may be possible to establish such an association by combining the server logs with other data. Similarly, from the data collected (e.g. your IP address), it is possible to determine that several different accesses originate from the same person. Only in exceptional cases do we review and evaluate these server logs.
This processing of your personal data for the purposes mentioned in point 1 is based on the following legal grounds:
The processing of data for these purposes is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the performance of our website and our legitimate interest in asserting and defending ourselves against any legal claims that arise, may arise or are asserted in connection with our website (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The processing of the data you enter in our website contact form for this purpose 1b) is based on the fact that we have a legitimate interest in being able to receive, process and respond to your contact messages (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
In any case, we will retain your personal data for as long as there are legal retention obligations (in particular, the seven-year retention period provided for in Section 212 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB)), or until the limitation periods for any legal claims have expired.
We will retain your data beyond these periods if we need it to assert or defend against specific legal claims.
Our server log files are retained for one month and then automatically deleted or anonymised.
Voluntary provision of personal data:
The provision of your personal data is generally voluntary. However, if you do not provide it, you may not be able to use all the features of our website. It is not possible to use our website without server log files being created. It is not necessary to accept the cookie banner in order to use our website.
If you enter your data in input forms (e.g. to register, subscribe to the newsletter or contact us), the respective form indicates (usually marked with ‘*’) which data is mandatory for us to process your entry and which data is voluntary. If you do not provide the optional data, this will not have any negative consequences for you.

We use this data to understand how our website is used and thus to make our web offering as attractive as possible for you. We only process and store this data in aggregated form; all non-aggregated data collected in this way is deleted or anonymised immediately after aggregation.
The data collected in this way is collected and stored directly by us and, with the exception of our IT service provider, is not available to third parties.
