Privacy Policy
Introduction and Overview
We have written this Privacy Policy (version 21.11.2025-123081813) to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (in short: data) we, as the data controller – and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) – process, will process in the future, and which lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data we process about you.
Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal terminology. This Privacy Policy, however, aims to describe the most important things as simply and transparently as possible. Where beneficial for transparency, technical terms are explained in a user-friendly manner, links to additional information are provided, and graphics are used. In clear and simple language, we inform you that we only process personal data within the scope of our business activities when there is a corresponding legal basis.
This is certainly not possible when providing brief, unclear, or legally-technical explanations, as is often standard on the internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative, and perhaps you may even learn something new.
If any questions remain, we kindly ask you to contact the responsible office listed below or in the imprint, follow the available links, and review additional information on third-party sites. You will, of course, also find our contact details in the imprint.
Scope of Application
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by us within the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (processors). By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, such as a person’s name, email address and postal address.
The processing of personal data enables us to offer and bill our services and products, whether online or offline.
The scope of this Privacy Policy includes:
In short: The Privacy Policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed within the company via the aforementioned channels. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside these channels, we will inform you separately where necessary.
Legal Bases
In the following Privacy Policy, we provide you with transparent information regarding the legal principles and regulations, i.e., the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, that allow us to process personal data.
With regard to EU law, 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 EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the access point to EU law, at
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679
We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR):
You have given us consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of the data you entered into a contact form.
Contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR):
To fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, when we conclude a purchase agreement with you, we require personal information in advance.
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR):
If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally required to retain invoices for accounting purposes, which usually contain personal data.
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR):
In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we must process certain data to operate our website securely and economically. This processing therefore constitutes a legitimate interest.
Other legal bases such as tasks carried out in the public interest, the exercise of official authority or the protection of vital interests generally do not apply to us. If such a legal basis does become relevant, it will be indicated at the appropriate place.
In addition to the EU Regulation, national laws may also apply:
If additional regional or national laws apply, we will inform you in the following sections.
Contact Details of the Controller
If you have questions regarding data protection or the processing of personal data, you will find below the contact details of the controller in accordance with Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Storage Duration
As a general principle, we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the purpose for processing the data no longer exists.
In some cases, however, we are legally obligated to retain certain data even after the original purpose ceases to exist, such as for bookkeeping purposes.
If you request the deletion of your data or withdraw your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible, provided that no legal obligation to retain it exists.
We inform you further below about the specific duration of the respective data processing if additional information is available.
Rights According to the General Data Protection Regulation
In accordance with Articles 13 and 14 GDPR, we inform you about the following rights you have to ensure fair and transparent data processing:
Right of access (Article 15 GDPR):
You have the right to know whether we process data about you. If this is the case, you have the right to obtain a copy of the data and to learn:
Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR):
You have the right to have data corrected if you find inaccuracies.
Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR):
You have the right to request the deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR):
You have the right to restrict processing, meaning we may only store the data but not use them further.
Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR):
You have the right to receive your data in a commonly used format.
Right to object (Article 21 GDPR):
You have the right to object to the processing of your data.
If the processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest or exercise of official authority) or Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests), you may object. We then assess whether we can legally comply with your objection.
If your data is used for direct marketing, you may object at any time. Your data will then no longer be used for direct marketing.
If your data is used for profiling, you may object at any time. Your data will then no longer be used for profiling.
Right not to be subject to automated decision-making (Article 22 GDPR):
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.
Right to lodge a complaint (Article 77 GDPR):
You may complain to a supervisory authority at any time if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
In Austria, the supervisory authority is:

In Germany, each federal state has its own data protection authority.
For more information, you may contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
Security of Data Processing
To protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organisational measures. Wherever possible, we encrypt or pseudonymise personal data. This makes it as difficult as reasonably possible for third parties to infer personal information from our data.
Article 25 GDPR refers to “data protection by design and by default,” meaning that both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room) must always be developed and operated with security in mind. Below, we will describe specific measures where necessary.
Communication
Communication Summary
Data subjects: All individuals who communicate with us by telephone, email or online form
Processed data: e.g. phone number, name, email address, form entries. More details are provided under the respective communication method
Purpose: Processing communication with customers, business partners, etc.

Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)
When you contact us and communicate via telephone, email or online form, personal data may be processed.
The data is processed for the handling and processing of your inquiry and the associated business transaction. The data is stored for as long as the business case requires and as long as the law demands.
Data Subjects
All individuals who contact us through the communication channels provided by us are affected by the aforementioned processes.
Telephone
When you call us, call data is stored in pseudonymised form on the respective device and by the telecommunications provider used. In addition, data such as your name and phone number may be forwarded via email and stored for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.
The data will be deleted once the business case is concluded and legal requirements permit deletion.
When you communicate with us by email, data may be stored on the respective device (computer, laptop, smartphone, etc.) and data is stored on the email server. The data will be deleted once the business case is concluded and legal requirements permit deletion.
Online Forms
When you communicate with us using an online form, data will be stored on our web server and may be forwarded to one of our email addresses. The data will be deleted once the business case is concluded and legal requirements permit deletion.

The processing of data is based on the following legal grounds:
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent):
You give us consent to store your data and use it for the purposes related to the business case.
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract):
Processing is necessary for fulfilling a contract with you or a processor (such as a telecom provider), or for carrying out pre-contractual activities, such as preparing an offer.
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests):
We aim to conduct customer inquiries and business communication professionally. To do so, technical systems such as email programs, exchange servers and mobile network providers are necessary to ensure efficient communication.
Cookies
Cookies Summary
Data subjects: Visitors of the website
Purpose: Depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or from the provider that sets the cookie
Processed data: Depends on the cookie. More details can be found below or from the software provider that sets the cookie
Storage duration: Varies from hours to years, depending on the cookie
Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)
What are Cookies?
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
In the following, we explain what cookies are and why they are used, so that you can better understand the following sections of the Privacy Policy.
Whenever you browse the internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.
One thing is undeniable: cookies are very useful helpers. Almost all websites use cookies — more specifically, HTTP cookies, since there are other cookies for other application areas. HTTP cookies are small files stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically located in the cookie folder — essentially the “memory” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. One or more attributes must also be specified when defining a cookie.
Cookies store certain user data such as language or personal page settings. When you revisit our site, your browser returns the “user-related” information to our website. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and provides you with the settings you are accustomed to. In some browsers each cookie has its own file; in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.
The following graphic illustrates the interaction between a web browser such as Chrome and a web server. The browser requests a website, receives a cookie from the server, and uses it again when requesting another page.
(Graphic description preserved exactly as in the original)
There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
Each cookie must be evaluated individually because each stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie varies from a few minutes to several years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, trojans or other “malware.” Cookies cannot access information on your PC.
Example of cookie data:
Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152123081813-9
Purpose: Distinguishing website visitors
Expiration: after 2 years
These minimum sizes should be supported by a browser:
Which Types of Cookies Are There?
Which cookies we specifically use depends on the services employed and will be explained later in this Privacy Policy. At this point, we briefly describe the various types of HTTP cookies.
There are four types of cookies:
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic website functions. For example, when a user places a product in a shopping cart, continues browsing, and only checks out later, these cookies ensure that the shopping cart is not deleted, even if the user closes the browser.
These cookies collect information about user behaviour and error messages. They also measure page load times and website behaviour across different browsers.
These cookies provide improved user experience, e.g. by saving entered locations, font sizes or form data.
Also called targeting cookies. They are used to deliver personalized advertising. This can be useful but also annoying.
Usually, upon first visiting a website, you are asked which of these cookie types you wish to allow. Your decision is also stored in a cookie.
If you want to learn more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265
(“HTTP State Management Mechanism” — IETF Request for Comments)
Purpose of Processing via Cookies
The purpose depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found in the sections below or from the provider that sets the cookie.
Which Data Is Processed?
Cookies perform various tasks. The type of data stored in cookies cannot be generalized, but we inform you later in this Privacy Policy about the specific data stored or processed.
Storage Duration of Cookies
Storage duration depends on the respective cookie and will be specified further below. Some cookies are deleted in less than an hour, others may remain stored for several years.
You can also influence the storage duration yourself. You may delete cookies manually in your browser at any time (see “Right to object” below). Additionally, cookies based on your consent are deleted immediately after you withdraw your consent — the legality of storage before withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Object – How Can I Delete Cookies?
You decide how and whether cookies are used. Regardless of the website or service setting the cookie, you can always delete, deactivate, or partially allow cookies.
For example, you may block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.
Instructions for cookie management in major browsers:
If you do not want any cookies at all, you can configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is to be set, allowing you to decide individually whether to permit the cookie.
The procedure depends on your browser — search for “delete cookies Chrome” or “disable cookies Chrome” for instructions.
Legal Basis
Since 2009, the so-called “Cookie Directive” has required consent for storing cookies (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Implementation varies across EU countries.
For essential cookies, legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR apply. These interests are typically economic, such as ensuring a functional and user-friendly website.
Non-essential cookies are only used if you give consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
In the following sections, you will be informed more precisely about cookie use, if specific software uses cookies.
Web Hosting Introduction
Web Hosting Summary
Data subjects: Visitors of the website
Purpose: Professional hosting of the website and securing its operation
Processed data: IP address, time of website visit, browser used, and additional data. More details can be found below or from the respective web hosting provider
Storage duration: Depends on the provider, but usually 2 weeks
Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)
What is Web Hosting?
Whenever you visit a website nowadays, certain information — including personal data — is automatically collected and stored, and this also applies to our website.
With “website” we mean the entirety of all webpages under a domain, from the homepage to the very last subpage (like this one). With “domain” we mean, for example: example.com or samplewebsite.org.
When you want to view a website on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you use a program called a web browser. You are likely familiar with browser names such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari.
To display the website, the browser must connect to another computer where the website’s code is stored: the web server. Running a web server is complex and resource-intensive, which is why it is handled by professional providers. These companies offer web hosting, ensuring reliable and error-free storage of website data.
During communication between your browser and the web server, personal data may be processed. On one hand, data is stored on your own computer; on the other hand, the web server must store certain data temporarily to ensure proper operation.
The following graphic illustrates how the browser, the internet, and the hosting provider interact.
(Graphic explanation kept exactly as in the original document)
Why Do We Process Personal Data?
The purposes of data processing are:
Which Data Is Processed?
Even as you are visiting our website right now, our web server (the computer hosting this website) typically stores the following data automatically:
These are stored in log files known as web server log files.
How Long Are Data Stored?
As a rule, the above-mentioned data are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted.
We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that authorities may access this information in cases of unlawful behaviour.
In short:
Your visit is logged by our hosting provider (the company hosting our website on special computers — servers), but we do not pass on your data without your consent.
Legal Basis
The legal basis for processing personal data within the scope of web hosting is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests), because professional hosting is necessary for presenting the company securely and user-friendly online and for investigating attacks if needed.
We usually have a contract for data processing (DPA) with the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28f GDPR, ensuring compliance with data protection and guaranteeing data security.
External Web Hosting Provider Privacy Policy
Below you will find the contact details of our external hosting provider, where you can obtain further information on data processing:

More information on data processing at this provider can be found in its Privacy Policy.
Web Analytics Introduction
Web Analytics Privacy Policy Summary
Data subjects: Visitors of the website
Purpose: Analysis of visitor information to optimise the web offering
Processed data: Access statistics including locations, device data, session duration, navigation behaviour, click behaviour, IP addresses. More details can be found in the respective analytics tool
Storage duration: Depends on the analytics tool used
Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)
What Is Web Analytics?
We use software on our website to evaluate visitor behaviour — called Web Analytics or Web Analysis. Such tools collect data that the analytics provider (also known as tracking tool provider) stores, manages, and processes.
With the help of this data, analyses about user behaviour on our website are created and provided to us as website operators.
Most tools also offer test features, such as A/B testing:
User profiles may be created, and cookies may be used.
Why Do We Conduct Web Analytics?
Our website aims to provide the best possible online offering in our industry.
To achieve this, we must understand how visitors use our website:
This helps us optimise our content and structure.
We use these insights to improve the user experience, increase usability, and ensure that our content is relevant, efficient, and technically sound.
Which Data Are Processed?
The specific data stored depends on the analytics tool, but typically includes:
If you have allowed location access, the analytics tool may also process geographic data.
Your IP address is also processed. Under the GDPR, IP addresses are personal data. Typically, IPs are pseudonymised (shortened or made unidentifiable).
Direct identifiers such as your name, address, or email address are not stored, unless explicitly collected. All such data is stored in pseudonymised form.
A graphic later in the document demonstrates, using Google Analytics as an example, how tracking works via JavaScript.
Storage Duration
The storage duration depends on the provider. Some cookies are deleted after minutes or when you leave the website; others may remain stored for years.
We use personal data only as long as necessary for our services. When required by law (for example in accounting), storage may last longer.
Right to Object
You may withdraw your consent to the use of cookies or third-party services at any time. This can be done via:
You may prevent data collection by deactivating, deleting, or blocking cookies.
Legal Basis
Web Analytics is only used with your consent, which we obtain through our cookie banner.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
We also have a legitimate interest in analysing visitor behaviour to improve our offering, detect errors, identify attacks, and ensure economic operation.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — but only if you have consented to cookies.
For details on individual tools, see the following sections (later in the document).
Messenger & Communication Introduction
Messenger & Communication Privacy Policy Summary
Data subjects: Visitors of the website
Purpose: Contact requests and general communication between us and you
Processed data: Data such as name, address, email address, telephone number, general message content, possibly IP address
More details can be found for each tool used
Storage duration: Depends on the specific messenger & communication tools used
Legal bases:
What Are Messenger & Communication Functions?
We offer various options on our website (such as messenger and chat functions, online/contact forms, email, telephone) to communicate with us. When doing so, your data is processed and stored to the extent necessary to answer your inquiry and to carry out subsequent actions.
In addition to classic communication methods such as email, contact forms, or telephone, we also use chat and messenger systems. The most commonly used messenger function is currently WhatsApp, although many providers offer dedicated website-based messenger systems.
If end-to-end encryption is used, this will be mentioned in the individual tool descriptions or in the provider’s privacy policy. End-to-end encryption means that the content of messages cannot be viewed by the provider itself. However, device information, location settings, and other technical data may still be collected and stored.
Why Do We Use Messenger & Communication Functions?
Communication with you is essential for us. We want to answer all questions related to our service as efficiently as possible. Effective communication is a key part of our service offering.
The messenger and communication functions allow you to choose the contact method you prefer at any time.
However, in exceptional cases, we may not answer certain inquiries via chat/messenger — for example, when they involve internal contractual matters. In such cases, we may refer you to email or telephone communication.
We generally assume that we remain the data controller under data protection law, even when we use social media or messenger platforms. However, the Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that in certain cases the operator of a social media platform may be jointly responsible with us (Art. 26 GDPR). If this applies, we indicate this specifically and work under an appropriate joint controller agreement.
Please note that when using integrated communication elements, your data may be processed outside the European Union — for example by U.S.-based companies such as Meta (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp). This can make it more difficult to assert and enforce your data protection rights.
Which Data Are Processed?
The exact data processed depends on the messenger or communication tool used. In general, the following types of data may be processed:
Data transmitted via messenger systems may also be stored on the servers of the respective provider.
To find out exactly which data is stored and how long it is kept, review the privacy policies of the tools used.
How Long Are Data Stored?
The storage duration depends primarily on the tools used. More detailed information is provided later in the document.
In general:
To learn more about individual cookie storage durations, consult the respective tool’s privacy policy.
Right to Object
You may withdraw your consent for the use of cookies or third-party communication tools at any time. This can be done via:
Because messenger and communication tools may use cookies, we also recommend reviewing our general cookies section. To know exactly which data about you is stored and processed, review the privacy policies of the tools used.
Legal Basis
If you have given consent for your data to be processed through messenger and communication functions, this consent forms the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
We process your inquiries and manage your data within the scope of contractual or pre-contractual relations to fulfil or prepare contractual obligations (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Your data may also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in fast and effective communication with you, customers, and business partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Cookie Consent Management Platform Introduction
Cookie Consent Management Platform Summary
Data subjects: Website visitors
Purpose: Obtaining and managing consent for cookies and the use of certain tools
Processed data: Data used to manage cookie settings, such as IP address, time of consent, type of consent, individual consent states. More details can be found in the tool used
Storage duration: Depends on the tool; usually several years
Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)
What Is a Cookie Consent Management Platform?
We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) on our website to simplify correct and secure handling of the scripts and cookies used. The software:
Most CMP tools automatically identify and categorise all cookies on the site.
You, as the website visitor, can then decide which cookies you want to allow.
The following graphic shows the interaction between browser, web server, and CMP.
(Graphic explanation retained)
Why Do We Use a Cookie Management Tool?
Our aim is to provide the greatest possible transparency regarding data protection. We are also legally required to do so.
We want to clearly inform you about all tools and cookies that may store and process your data. To give you the right to decide which cookies you allow, we must first know which cookies are used at all.
Thanks to a CMP that regularly scans the website, we can disclose this information to you in a GDPR-compliant way.
Which Data Are Processed?
Within our cookie management tool, you can manage every cookie yourself and have full control over the processing of your data.
Your consent is stored to prevent repeated requests on each visit and to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements when necessary.
Depending on the CMP provider, stored data may include:
Consent data is typically stored for up to two years.
Duration of Data Processing
We provide tool-specific storage durations later in the document.
In general, personal data is processed only as long as required to provide services. Cookies may have highly variable storage durations — from minutes to several years.
CMP tools often store consent information for several years.
Consult the respective provider’s privacy policy for exact details.
Right to Object
You may withdraw your consent to cookie usage at any time:
Legal Basis
If you consent to the use of cookies, personal data may be processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
We use CMP software to manage cookie consent in an efficient and legally compliant manner, which is a legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Web Design Introduction
Web Design Privacy Policy Summary
Data subjects: Visitors of the website
Purpose: Improving the user experience
Processed data: The data processed depends heavily on the tools used. Typically includes IP address, technical data, language settings, browser version, screen resolution and browser name. More details can be found in the respective web design tools
Storage duration: Depends on the tools used
Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests)
What Is Web Design?
We use various tools on our website for web design purposes. Contrary to what many believe, web design is not only about making a website look visually appealing. It also includes functionality and performance.
A visually appealing website is one of the goals of professional web design, but equally important are structure, usability, and technical optimisation.
Web design is a subcategory of media design and covers:
The goal is to improve your experience on our website — this is called User Experience (UX).
A subcategory of UX is Usability, which focuses on the user-friendliness of the website. It ensures that content, subpages and products are clearly structured and easy to find.
To provide you with the best possible website experience, we use third-party web design tools.
All services used to improve the layout or functionality of our website fall under “Web Design” in this Privacy Policy.
Examples include:
Why Do We Use Web Design Tools?
Your experience on our website depends heavily on structure, functionality and visual impression. A professionally designed and easy-to-use website increases customer satisfaction and engagement.
A well-designed website also provides economic advantages — users stay longer, convert better, and trust the brand more easily.
For these reasons, we continuously improve our website’s design and functionality.
Which Data Is Processed by Web Design Tools?
If you visit our website, design elements may be integrated that process data automatically.
The exact data processed depends entirely on the tool used.
We provide specific details later in this Privacy Policy.
Common data processed by design tools include:
An example:
When using Google Fonts, the following information is transmitted to Google servers automatically:
Duration of Data Processing
The duration depends on the respective web design tool.
If cookies are used, their storage duration may vary:
For example:
Google Font files are stored for one year to improve website loading speeds.
In general, data is stored only as long as necessary to provide the service.
Legal retention periods may extend this duration when required.
Right to Object
You can withdraw your consent for the use of cookies or design tools at any time via:
Important:
Some design tools (especially fonts loaded on website visit) cannot be easily deleted manually, because the data is transferred automatically to third-party servers when a page is loaded.
If you want such data deleted, you must contact the provider directly (e.g. Google Support at https://support.google.com/?hl=de).
Legal Basis
If you consent to the use of web design tools, your consent forms the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Additionally, we have a legitimate interest in maintaining and improving our website design to ensure a functional, appealing, and professional web presence (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
We only use web design tools if you have given consent, even if legitimate interest applies.
Explanation of Terms Used
We always endeavour to write our Privacy Policy in a clear and understandable manner.
