Privacy Policy

 

Introduction and Overview

We have written this privacy policy (version 17.04.2023-312476246) to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, what personal data (short data) we as controllers - and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) - process, will process in the future and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood in a gender-neutral way. 
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data we process about you.
Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal terms. This privacy policy, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as it is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. We thus inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data within the scope of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if one gives as brief, unclear and legally-technical explanations as possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. We hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and maybe there is some information that you did not know yet. If there are still questions left, we kindly ask you to contact the responsible person/department listed below or in the imprint, to follow the existing links and to look at further information on third-party sites. You can of course 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 (processors) commissioned by us. By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR such as name, e-mail address and postal address of a person. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and invoice our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy includes:

  • 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 where personal data is processed in the company via the aforementioned channels in a structured manner. If we enter into legal relations with you outside these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.

Legal bases

In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e., the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, that enable us to process personal data. As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. You can of course read this General Data Protection Regulation of the EU online on 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:

  1. Consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of your entered data of a contact form. 
  2. Contract (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR): To fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance. 
  3. Legal obligation (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data. 
  4. Legitimate interests (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR): In 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 economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.
     

Further conditions such as the processing of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of public authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not usually occur in our case. Insofar as such a legal basis should nevertheless be applicable, it will be indicated at the relevant place.

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

  • In Austria, this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons in the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), abbreviated as DPA. 
  • In Germany, this is the Federal Data Protection Act, abbreviated as FDPA. 

If further regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage duration

The general criterion for us is that we only store personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, 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 soon as possible and as far as there is no obligation to store it.
We will inform you about the specific duration of each data processing below, if we have further information about it.

The purposes of data processing are:

  1. Professional hosting of the website and securing the operation
  2. to remain operational and maintain IT security
  3. Anonymous evaluation of access behavior to improve our offer and possibly for law enforcement or pursuit of claims

What data is processed?

Even as you are visiting our website right now, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically stores data such as

  • the complete internet address (URL) of the accessed webpage 
  • browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87) 
  • the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10) the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g. https://www.examplequellsite.com/vondabinichgekommen/) 
  • the hostname and IP address of the device from which access is made (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121) 
  • date and time 
  • in files, the so-called web server log files

How long is data stored? 

As a general rule, the data mentioned above is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed by authorities in the event of unlawful conduct.
In short: Your visit is logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we do not pass on your data without your consent!

Legal basis

The legality of the processing of personal data within the scope of web hosting results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (safeguarding legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary to present the company on the internet securely and user-friendly and to be able to pursue attacks and claims arising from it if necessary.
Between us and the hosting provider there is usually a contract for order processing according to Art. 28 f. GDPR, which ensures compliance with data protection and guarantees data security.
