In accordance with the Regulation on Online Dispute Resolution in Consumer Matters (ODR Regulation), we would like to inform you about the online dispute resolution platform (OS platform).

Privacy Policy
Introduction and Overview
We have written this data protection declaration (version 24.03.2025-122968713) to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (data for short) we, as the data controller, and the processors we commission (e.g. providers), process or will process in the future and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short, we provide you with comprehensive information about the data that we process about you.
Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal jargon. This privacy policy, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things as simply and transparently as possible. To the extent that it promotes transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. We use clear and simple language to explain that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis for doing so. This is certainly not possible if we use the briefest, most unclear and legally technical explanations possible, as is often the case on the internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps you will find some information that you did not know before.
If you still have questions, please contact the responsible office named below or in the imprint, follow the links provided and view further information on third-party sites. You can also find our contact details in the imprint.
Scope of application
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 GDPR, such as a person's name, email address and postal address. Processing personal data enables us to offer and bill for our services and products, both online and offline. This privacy policy applies to:
-
all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
-
social media presences and e-mail communication
-
mobile apps for smartphones and other devices
In short, the privacy policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured way in the company through the channels mentioned. If we enter into a legal relationship with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.
Legal basis
In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation, that enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to the REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. You can, of course, read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online at EUR-Lex, the access to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa. eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.
We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
-
Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of the data you entered in a contact form.
-
Contract (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR): We process your data in order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you. For example, if we enter into a sales contract with you, we require personal information in advance.
-
Legal obligation (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally required to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.
-
Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website securely and efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.
Other conditions, such as the exercise of public interest and public authority, as well as the protection of vital interests, do not usually arise for us. Insofar as such a legal basis should be relevant, however, this will be indicated at the appropriate point.
In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:
-
In Austria, this is the Federal Law for the Protection of Natural Persons in the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), in short DSG.
-
In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, in short BDSG, applies.
If further regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage duration
We have a general policy of only storing personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for processing it no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to apply, for example for accounting purposes.
If you wish to have your data deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to store it.
We will inform you below about the specific duration of the respective data processing, provided that we have further information.
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
In accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, we are informing you of the following rights to which you are entitled in order to ensure fair and transparent data processing:
-
According to Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we are processing your data. If this is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to be informed of the following information:
-
the purposes for which we are processing the data;
-
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 is 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 to create a personal profile of you.
-
-
According to Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to have your data rectified, which means that we must correct data if you find errors.
-
According to Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’), which specifically means that you may request the deletion 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 but may not use it further.
-
According to Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a common format upon request.
-
According to Article 21 of the GDPR, you have the right to object, which, if enforced, will result in a change in processing.
-
If the processing of your data is based on Article 6 (1) (e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6 (1) (f) (legitimate interest), you may 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, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for direct marketing.
-
If data is used for profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for profiling.
-
-
According to Article 22 of the GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (e.g. 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 processing of personal data violates the GDPR.
In short: you have rights – do not hesitate to contact the responsible office listed above!
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany, there is a data protection officer for each federal state. For more information, you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI). The following local data protection authority is responsible for our company:
Explanation of terms used
We always try to make our privacy policy as clear and understandable as possible. However, this is not always easy, especially when it comes to technical and legal topics. It often makes sense to use legal terms (such as personal data) or certain technical terms (such as cookies, IP address). However, we do not want to use these without explanation. Below you will find an alphabetical list of important terms used that we may not have adequately addressed in the previous data protection declaration. If these terms have been taken from the GDPR and are definitions, we will also provide the GDPR texts here and, if necessary, add our own explanations.
Processor
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definition shall apply:
‘processor’ means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;
Explanation: As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all the data we process about you. In addition to the controllers, there may also be so-called processors. These include any company or person that processes personal data on our behalf. Consequently, processors can be, in addition to service providers such as tax advisors, hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers, or large companies such as Google or Microsoft.
Consent
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term:
‘Consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;
Explanation: As a rule, such consent is given via a cookie consent tool on websites. You are bound to be familiar with this. Whenever you visit a website for the first time, you are usually asked via a banner whether you agree to or consent to the data processing. In most cases, you can also make individual settings and thus decide for yourself which data processing you allow and which you do not. If you do not consent, none of your personal data may be processed. Of course, consent can also be provided in writing, i.e. not via a tool.
Personal data
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term
‘personal data’ refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special features that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified;
Explanation: Personal data is therefore all data that can identify you as a person. This is usually data such as:
-
Name
-
Address
-
Email address
-
Postal address
-
Telephone number
-
Date of birth
-
Identification numbers such as social security number, tax identification number, ID card number or matriculation number
-
Bank details such as account number, credit information, account balances and much more.
According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), your IP address also counts as personal data. IT experts can use your IP address to determine at least the approximate location of your device and subsequently you as the subscriber. Therefore, storing an IP address also requires a legal basis in the sense of the GDPR. There are also so-called ‘special categories’ of personal data, which are also particularly worthy of protection. These include:
-
racial and ethnic origin
-
political opinions
-
religious or ideological beliefs
-
trade union membership
-
genetic data, such as data taken from blood or saliva samples
-
biometric data (this is information about psychological, physical or behavioural characteristics that can identify a person).
health data -
data on sexual orientation or sex life
profiling
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term
‘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;
Explanation: Profiling involves collecting various information about a person in order to learn more about that person. On the web, profiling is often used for advertising purposes or for credit checks. For example, web or advertising analysis programmes collect data about your behaviour and interests on a website. This results in a specific user profile that can be used to target advertising to a specific group.
Controller
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term
‘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; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;
Explanation: In our case, we are responsible for the processing of your personal data and are therefore the ‘controller’. If we pass on collected data to other service providers for processing, these are ‘processors’. For this, a ‘data processing agreement’ must be signed.
Processing
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term
‘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, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
Note: When we talk about processing in our privacy policy, we mean any kind of data processing. As mentioned above in the original GDPR declaration, this includes not only the collection but also the storage and processing of data.
