The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we process your data strictly according to statutory regulations (GDPR, DPA, TMA). In this information on data protection, you will find details about the most important aspects of data processing within the context of our website.
You can generally use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or email addresses) is collected on our website, this shall be done, to the extent possible, on a voluntary basis. This data shall not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent.
We should point out that there are inherent security risks in transferring data through the Internet (e.g. email communication). It is impossible to completely safeguard the data against access by third parties.
Personal data
Your personal data shall only be collected if you provide us with this information voluntarily. We shall use this data solely to fulfil the purpose for which you provided the data to us, for instance in order to answer your requests, to process your orders, to fulfil contracts, to arrange settlements, to validate contractual claims, for customer service or commercial purposes. The data is collected, saved, processed and utilised.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data consists on the one hand of contract performance, rightful interests, the fulfilling of our legal or contractual obligations and on the other hand of your consent (e.g. contact forms, newsletters, cookies). Refusal to provide data can have a variety of consequences.
We process your personal data where necessary for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation and performance of a contract through to its termination) and beyond, in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations as stated in the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), or until the conclusion of any legal disputes, warranty periods or guarantee periods etc.
For the operation of our website and distribution of our newsletter we work with software providers and agencies, who may request access to your personal data in the course of their activities, in so far as this data is required for the fulfilment of their respective services. These third parties are obliged to comply with the valid data protection regulations in the form of an order processing contract in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
