Protection and Security of your data are very important to us. We process your data only as allowed by applicable laws, in particular by the GDPR (DSGVO). Your personal data stored by us is protected by appropriate technical and organizational measures and is processed according to well-defined procedures.

This privacy policy pertains to this website in particular. If you maintain business or other relations (e.g. via a contract) with us beyond your visit to this website now or in the future, there are further policies, which we will provide or have provided accordingly.

This website is operated by (responsible regarding the GDPR):

How to contact us

We provide extensive information about data protection on our website. Questions about our privacy policy beyond this website’s are answered in documents available in connection with further interaction, like contracts with us. Should you have even further questions regarding the topic of data protection, you can reach us at [email protected].

While the person responsible according to the GDPR is identified at the beginning of this policy, it is possible that somebody else is the contact person for issues regarding data protection. Still, you’ll always reach the contact person at the email address just provided in the above paragraph.

Your rights regarding your personal data

In principle, you are entitled to information about, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, and transferability of the personal data we process about you. In addition, you have the right to object to or revoke permission for our processing your personal data. Should you believe that our processing of your personal data violates the GDPR or that your data protection claims have been violated in any way, you can contact us directly or file a complaint with the proper authorities. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority.

If you have an account for our website or have written comments on our website, you can request an export of your personal data. In addition, you can request the deletion of all your personal data stored by us. This does not apply to data which we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Who we share your personal data with

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except when required by law, contractual agreements, or in the course of processes demanded by proper authorities.

For how long we store your personal data

When you write a comment on our website, it is stored indefinitely, including metadata. In this way, we can, e.g., recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of containing them in a moderation queue. In addition, we like to have helpful information provided by your comment available on our website for as long as possible.

For visitors who register as users on our website, we store additional personal information, which they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change, or delete their personal information at any time themselves (the username cannot be changed, however). This kind of information is also available to Administrators of our website, who can also change or delete it. This helps to ensure a safe and secure operation of our website.

Where we send your personal data

In general, we process your personal data, if at all, on servers, computers or other machines used by us inside the European Union. Some services or social networks, however, have their addresses outside the European Union. Such services are listed in this policy. For example, comments written by users on our website may be checked or screened by an external service in order to reduce spam.

Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” in order to collect information about visitors of our website and their behavior on our website. Most of this data is not considered personal data. For example, Google Analytics collects information about how often visitors visit the website, which pages they visit, or which pages they visited before visiting our website.

We use the information we get from Google Analytics exclusively to improve our website and the experience for our visitors. We employ Google Analytics with the setting “anonymizeIP”, which means that Google Analytics stores only an anonymized version of the IP address assigned to you at the time of your visit in addition to the non-personal data that describe your interaction with our website. Neither Google Analytics nor we store your name or other information by which you could be personally identified, nor are the data collected by Google Analytics combined with other data by which you could be personally identified. While Google Analytics sets a permanent cookie in your browser in order to identify you as a recurring visitor on subsequent visits to our website, this cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. The terms and conditions under which Google processes and uses information collected on our website are governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

By visiting our website you agree to the processing of data as just described by Google and for the purpose given above. You can deactivate Google Analytics for our website by setting an opt-out-cookie via the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics.

You can also block Google Analytics from recognizing you during recurring visits to our website by deactivating cookies in your browser completely. As an alternative, you can also block cookies individually. There may exist browser plugins which help you do this for specific browsers and analytics services. Please note that you have to deactivate cookies separately on each of your devices used for web browsing.

Other services provided by Google

On our website, we use the following other services by
Google LLC
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043, United States
which are governed by the  Google Privacy Policy, as well as by additional regulations, which are linked to or mentioned in the following:

Google Maps:
We use Google Maps in order to provide you with an interactive map, based on material by Google Maps, directly on our website. This is provided with the purpose of facilitating the planning for routes or the easier location of our business, shop, or the like, or other interesting places. The processing of data by this service, which is built into our website via a plugin, happens in exactly the same way as if you would enter the same address or route information directly on the Google Maps website in another tab or browser window. The data you enter on our interactive map are sent to Google through the plugin if this functionality is set by the technical configuration of the plugin. You can block this transfer by deactivating Javascript in your browser. Please note, however, that by doing this the map function will not be available to you and many other functions of our website and other websites will be broken as well.

Google reCaptcha:
We use the service reCaptcha provided by Google in order to achieve a certain level of protection against abuse by bots or other malware for the forms on our website, such as a comment or contact form. This service enables the automated recognition of human- versus machine-filled form submissions. This service implies the submission of the submitter’s IP-address, and possibly other data required by Google to perform the recognition, to Google.

Google Translate:
The service Google Translate is provided on our website for those users who would like to read our content in another language than the original English (and sometimes German). We would like to emphasize in this regard that translations provided by Google Translate are not necessarily correct or complete but should serve as a means of rough orientation only. By choosing a language, the translation service is activated and an additional bar is shown above the normal content of the website, which contains tools for using and leaving the service. We do not have any influence on the content or the appearance of this bar.
