PRIVACY POLICY
We have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, what information we collect, how we use data, and what choices you have as a visitor to this website. Unfortunately, it’s in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we’ve made every effort to describe the most important points as simply and clearly as possible.
Automatic Data Storage
When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically generated and stored—and this is also the case on this website. When you visit our website, as you are doing right now, our web server (the computer on which this website is hosted) automatically stores data such as your device’s IP address, the addresses of the subpages you visit, details about your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.), and the date and time. We do not use this data and generally do not share it with third parties; however, we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.
Storage of Personal Data
Personal data that you submit to us electronically via this website, such as your name, email address, mailing address, or other personal information provided when submitting a form or leaving a comment on the blog, will be used by us—along with the time stamp and IP address—solely for the purpose specified in each instance, securely stored, and not disclosed to third parties. We therefore use your personal data only to communicate with visitors who have expressly requested contact and to process the services and products offered on this website. We do not disclose your personal data without your consent; however, we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct. If you send us personal data via email—that is, outside of this website—we cannot guarantee secure transmission or the protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data via email without encryption.
Your Rights
You generally have the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, withdrawal, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you may file a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.
TLS Encryption with HTTPS
We use HTTPS to transmit data securely over the Internet. By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize that this data transmission security is in use by the small padlock icon in the upper-left corner of your browser and by the use of the “https” prefix 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 a web browser and a web server; it has no meaning to the server itself but becomes meaningful to the web application—such as an online store—for example, to track the contents of a virtual shopping cart. There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies are created by our website, while third-party cookies are created by other websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Cookies are divided into three categories: strictly necessary cookies to ensure the website’s basic functions, functional cookies to ensure the website’s performance, and targeted cookies to improve the user experience. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. If you do not wish this to happen, you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow them only on a case-by-case basis. You can delete cookies that are already on your computer or disable cookies at any time. The procedure for doing so varies by browser; it’s best to search for instructions on Google using the search terms “delete cookies chrome” or “disable cookies in Chrome” if you’re using the Chrome browser, or replace the word “Chrome” with the name of your browser, e.g., Edge, Firefox, or Safari. If you do not allow us to use cookies in general—that is, if you disable them via your browser settings—some features and pages may not function as expected.
Google Maps Privacy Policy
We use Google Maps, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), on our website. When you use the features of this map, data is transmitted to Google.

Google Fonts Privacy Policy
We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website. The use of Google Fonts does not require authentication, and no cookies are sent to the Google Fonts API.

Google only tracks the use of CSS and the fonts used and stores this data securely. You can find more information on these and other questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.

Server Log Files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
Browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL,
hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request
This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data is not combined with data from other sources. We reserve the right to review this data at a later date if we become aware of specific evidence of unlawful use.
Contact Form
If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the inquiry form—including the contact information you provide there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
Newsletter Information
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected. We use this data exclusively to send you the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of users to analyze user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo regarding the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. This allows us, among other things, to determine when specific pages were viewed and which region the visitors are from. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can track whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG, to the extent that the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Disable Matomo
You have the option to prevent the actions you take here from being analyzed and tracked. This will protect your privacy, but it will also prevent the site owner from learning from your actions and improving the user experience for you and other users.
IP Anonymization
We use IP anonymization when analyzing data with Matomo. This involves truncating your IP address before the analysis, so that it can no longer be uniquely associated with you.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analytics data remains with us and is not shared with third parties.

We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with the legal requirement to provide an “Imprint” for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as through spam emails.
