Privacy Policy

General

 

Protecting your personal data is of particular importance to us. We process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG) 2003). Below we inform you about how we process your personal data and about the claims and rights to which you are entitled under data protection law.

 

Controller responsible for data processing:

Dr. Helmut Retzek

Within this website, we process personal data that you provide to us yourself or that we receive through your use of our online presence, as follows:

If you use our website for information purposes only — that is, if you do not register or otherwise send us information — we only collect the data that your browser transmits to the site's server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • The page of our website that you visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Volume of data sent, in bytes
  • Source/referrer from which you reached the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (where applicable: in anonymised form)

This processing takes place pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used for any other purpose. We do, however, reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.

For security reasons, and in order to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries sent to the controller), this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar.

Cookies

 

In order to make visiting our website appealing and to enable the use of certain functions, we use "cookies". These are small pieces of text information that are stored in, or by, the browser on your device. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on that user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies we use (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the related consents, we use the consent tool "Real Cookie Banner". Details on how "Real Cookie Banner" works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and of the related consents.

Providing this personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary in order to enter into a contract. You are under no obligation to provide the personal data. If you do not provide it, we are unable to manage your consents.

a) Technically necessary cookies

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require the calling browser to remain identifiable even after you move to another page. The following data is stored and transmitted in these cookies:

  • Webpack
  • WordPress
  • Real Cookie Banner
  • Polylang
  • YouTube
  •  

b) Functional cookies

Functional cookies are WordPress emojis. In our case these are mainly checkmarks that make lists of content easier to read.

Your rights in relation to personal data

 

You have the right to:

 

  • information (whether and which personal data about you has been stored);
  • rectification, completion or erasure (of personal data that is incorrect or is not being processed lawfully);
  • restriction of processing and data portability;
  • and, under certain circumstances, the right to withdraw consent and the right to object.

The right to erasure is limited only insofar as we may suspend erasure on the basis of statutory retention periods and/or in order to safeguard our own claims. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent authority if the processing of your data infringes data protection law or if your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way.
