We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Personal data is generally processed only with the consent of the data subject or where such processing is permitted by applicable legal provisions.

3. Hosting & Technical Operation

This website is hosted on servers in Austria. The server location is within the European Economic Area (EEA), ensuring an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the GDPR.

The website was created using the WordPress content management system. Each time the website is accessed, the following data is automatically collected by the web server and stored in so-called server log files:

  • IP address of the requesting computer (anonymized)
  • date and time of access
  • name and URL of the retrieved file
  • website from which the access takes place (referrer URL)
  • browser used and, where applicable, the operating system

The temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary to enable delivery of the website. Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the security and stability of the system. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The data is deleted after no later than 7 days.

4. Contact Forms

Our website provides contact forms that allow you to contact us electronically. If you use a contact form, the data you enter (e.g., name, email address, telephone number, message) will be transmitted and stored.

  • date and time of the inquiry

The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures or performance of a contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling inquiries).

The data is used exclusively for processing your inquiry and will not be shared with third parties. It will be deleted as soon as the inquiry has been fully processed and no statutory retention obligations prevent its deletion.

This website uses Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open-source software application for the statistical analysis of website visitor access. Matomo is installed as a WordPress plugin directly on our server in Austria. No data is transferred to external servers.

The following data is processed:

  • anonymized IP address (the last two octets are removed)
  • pages visited and duration of visits
  • referrer URL (the website from which you arrived)
  • browser type and operating system
  • country of origin (based on the anonymized IP address)

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in optimizing our website and services) and, where consent is obtained, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may object to data collection by Matomo by disabling the storage of cookies in your browser. Alternatively, you can use the Matomo Opt-Out plugin available at matomo.org/privacy-policy.
