We have drafted this privacy policy to explain, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), what information we collect, how we use data, and what choices you have as a visitor to this website. Unfortunately, by nature, such explanations can sound very technical, but we have made an effort to describe the most important aspects as simply and clearly as possible.
Your rights
You generally have the rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, withdrawal, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection laws or that your data protection rights have been otherwise infringed, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website can be found at httpss://www.dsb.gv.at/.
TLS encryption with HTTPS
We use HTTPS to transmit data securely over the internet. By employing TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission, we ensure the protection of confidential information. You can recognize the use of this secure data transmission by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of your browser and the use of the HTTPS scheme as part of our web address.
Cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. A cookie is a small data packet exchanged between the web browser and web server, which is meaningless to the server but becomes significant to the web application, such as an online store, for example, the content of a virtual shopping cart. There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies, which are created by our website, and third-party cookies, which are created by other websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Cookies are categorized into three types: strictly necessary cookies to ensure basic website functions, functional cookies to enhance website performance, and targeting cookies to improve user experience.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you prefer not to have cookies stored, you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and allow them only on a case-by-case basis. You can also delete cookies already on your computer or disable cookies at any time. The procedure varies by browser; it is best to search Google for instructions using terms like “delete cookies chrome” or “disable cookies chrome” for Chrome browsers, or replace "chrome" with the name of your browser, such as Edge, Firefox, or Safari. If you generally disallow the use of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings, some functions and pages may not work as expected.

Pseudonymization
Our goal under the GDPR is to improve our services and website. Since we value our users' privacy, user data is pseudonymized. Data processing is based on the legal provisions of § 96 Abs 3 TKG as well as Art 6(1)(a) (consent) and/or (f) (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.
Deactivation of data collection by Google Analytics
With the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, website visitors can prevent Google Analytics from using their data. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Google Analytics IP-Anonymisierung
Wir haben auf dieser Webseite die IP-Adressen-Anonymisierung von Google Analytics implementiert. Diese Funktion wurde von Google entwickelt, damit diese Webseite die geltenden Datenschutzbestimmungen und Empfehlungen der lokalen Datenschutzbehörden einhalten kann, wenn diese eine Speicherung der vollständigen IP-Adresse untersagen. Die Anonymisierung bzw. Maskierung der IP findet statt, sobald die IP-Adressen im Google Analytics-Datenerfassungsnetzwerk eintreffen und bevor eine Speicherung oder Verarbeitung der Daten stattfindet. Mehr Informationen zur IP-Anonymisierung finden Sie auf httpss://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=de.
