Web analysis: Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google-Analytics. This service uses cookies that permit an analysis of the use of the website by our users. The information generated in this way is transmitted to the server of the provider and saved there. We have concluded a corresponding contract with the provider for data processing. Your IP address is collected but immediately pseudonymized (e.g. via deletion of the last 8 bits). After this measure, only very rough localization is possible. The relationship with the web analysis provider is based on a data processing agreement with Google, which you can view here. The data processing takes place on the basis of the statutory provisions of Article 96 para. 3 TKG as well as Article 6 para. 1 item a (Consent) and/or item f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest in accordance with the GDPR is the improvement of our offering and our web presence. Because the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized. The user data is retained for a period of 14 months.

Your rights: You have the fundamental rights of information, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been otherwise violated, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority [Datenschutzbehörde].
