We have drafted this privacy policy (version 21/01/2022-121922570) 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 (data for short) we process as the controller – and which data processors engaged by us (e.g. providers) process, will process in the future, and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We provide you with comprehensive information about the data we process about you.
Privacy policies usually sound very technical and use legal jargon. This privacy policy, however, is intended to explain the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. Where it helps transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided, and graphics are used. We therefore inform you in clear and simple language that, as part of our business activities, we only process personal data when there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if explanations are kept as brief as possible, unclear, and legal-technical, 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 there is one or two pieces of information included that you did not yet know.
If you still have questions, we would ask you to contact the responsible body named below or in the legal notice, follow the available links, and view further information on third-party websites. Our contact details can of course also be found in the legal notice.
This privacy policy applies to all personal data we process within our company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (data 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 systematically processed within the company via the channels mentioned. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside these channels, we will, if necessary, inform you separately.
In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and provisions, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, that allow us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, 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/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.
We process your data only if at least one of the following conditions applies:
Other conditions, such as the processing of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of official authority, as well as the protection of vital interests, generally do not apply to us. If such a legal basis should nevertheless be relevant, it will be indicated at the appropriate point.
In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:
If additional regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.
If you have any questions about data protection, you will find below the contact details of the responsible person or entity:

As a general rule, we only store personal data for as long as is strictly necessary to provide our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for processing the data no longer applies. In some cases, we are legally required to retain certain data even after the original purpose no longer exists, for example for accounting purposes.
If you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible, provided there is no obligation to retain it.
We will inform you further below about the specific duration of the respective data processing, provided we have more information on this.
According to Article 13 GDPR, you have the following rights to ensure fair and transparent data processing:
In short: You have rights – do not hesitate to contact the responsible office listed above!
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed in any way, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website you can find at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany, each federal state has a data protection officer. For more detailed information, you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI). The following local data protection authority is responsible for our company:

Cookie Summary
👥 Data subjects: Website visitors
🤝 Purpose: depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or from the software provider that sets the cookie.
📓 Processed data: Depends on the cookie used in each case. More details can be found below or from the software provider that sets the cookie.
📅 Storage period: depends on the respective cookie, can vary from hours to years
⚖️ Legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate interests)
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
Below we explain what cookies are and why they are used, so that you can better understand the following 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 cannot be denied: cookies are truly useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, since there are also other cookies for other areas of use. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, basically the “brain” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.
Cookies store certain user data from you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, your browser sends the “user-related” information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are used 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 shows a possible interaction between a web browser such as Chrome and the web server. The web browser requests a website and receives a cookie back from the server, which the browser uses again as soon as another page is requested.
There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our site, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be assessed individually, as each cookie stores different data. A cookie’s expiry time also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other “malware”. Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.
This is what cookie data can look like, for example:
Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152121922570-9
Purpose: Distinguishing website visitors
Expiration date: after 2 years
A browser should support these minimum sizes:
The question of which cookies we specifically use depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly address the different types of HTTP cookies.
There are 4 types of cookies:
Essential cookies
These cookies are needed to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are required when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues browsing other pages and only checks out later. These cookies keep the shopping cart from being deleted, even if the user closes the browser window.
Functional cookies
These cookies collect info about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the website’s behavior in different browsers.
Targeted cookies
These cookies ensure better user-friendliness. For example, entered locations, font sizes, or form data are saved.
Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They are used to deliver advertising tailored to the user. This can be very practical, but also very annoying.
Usually, when you first visit a website, you are asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow. And of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.
If you want to know more about cookies and do not shy away from technical documentation, we recommend https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments called “HTTP State Management Mechanism”.
The purpose ultimately depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.
Cookies are small helpers for many different tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalize which data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the data processed or stored in the following privacy policy.
The storage period depends on the respective cookie and is specified further below. Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour, while others can remain stored on a computer for several years.
You also have control over the storage period yourself. You can manually delete all cookies at any time via your browser (see also below “Right to object”). Furthermore, cookies based on consent will be deleted no later than upon withdrawal of your consent, whereby the lawfulness of the storage until then remains unaffected.
You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option to delete cookies, disable them, or allow them only in part. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.
If you want to see which cookies have been stored in your browser, or if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:
Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome
Safari: Manage cookies and website data in Safari
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer
Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies
If you generally do not want any cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is about to be set. This way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether to allow it or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions on Google using the terms “delete cookies Chrome” or “disable cookies Chrome” if you use a Chrome browser.
Since 2009, there have been the so-called “cookie guidelines”. They state that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different responses to these guidelines. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the cookie guidelines were not implemented as national law. Instead, this directive was largely implemented in Section 15 para. 3 of the Telemedia Act (TMG).
For strictly necessary cookies, even where no consent has been given, there are legitimate interests (Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), which in most cases are economic in nature. We want to provide website visitors with a pleasant user experience, and certain cookies are often absolutely necessary for this.
Where cookies that are not strictly necessary are used, this only takes place with your consent. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
In the following sections, you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies, provided that the software used employs cookies.
Web Hosting Summary
👥 Data subjects: website visitors
🤝 Purpose: professional hosting of the website and safeguarding operations
📓 Processed data: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. More details can be found below or from the respective web hosting provider used.
📅 Storage period: depends on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks
⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate interests)
When you visit websites nowadays, certain information – including personal data – is automatically generated and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By website, we mean the entirety of all web pages on a domain, i.e. everything from the home page (homepage) to the very last subpage (like this one). By domain, we mean, for example, beispiel.de or musterbeispiel.com.
If you want to view a website on a screen, use a program called a web browser. You probably know some web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
This web browser must connect to another computer where the website’s code is stored: the web server. Running a web server is a complex and demanding task, which is why this is usually handled by professional providers. They offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data.
When your browser connects on your computer (desktop, laptop, smartphone) and during data transfer to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data; on the other hand, the web server must also store data for a certain time to ensure proper operation.
For illustration:
The purposes of data processing are:
Even while you are visiting our website right now, our web server, that is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically stores data such as
As a rule, the above-mentioned data is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but cannot rule out that it may be inspected by authorities in the event of unlawful conduct.
In short: Your visit is logged by our provider (the company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we do not share your data without your consent!
The lawfulness of processing personal data in the context of web hosting arises from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (protection of legitimate interests), as the use of professional hosting by a provider is necessary in order to present the company on the internet securely and in a user-friendly way and, where applicable, to pursue attacks and claims arising from this.
As a rule, we have a data processing agreement with the hosting provider pursuant to Art. 28 ff. GDPR, which ensures compliance with data protection and guarantees data security.
Facebook Privacy Policy Summary
👥 Affected parties: Website visitors
🤝 Purpose: Optimization of our service performance
📓 Processed data: Data such as customer data, data on user behavior, information about your device and your IP address.
More details can be found below in the privacy policy.
📅 Storage period: until the data is no longer useful for Facebook’s purposes
⚖️ Legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests)
We use selected tools from Facebook on our website. Facebook is a social media network of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. With the help of these tools, we can offer you and people interested in our products and services the best possible service.
If data about you is collected and forwarded via our embedded Facebook elements or via our Facebook page (fan page), both we and Facebook Ireland Ltd. are responsible for this. Facebook alone is responsible for the further processing of this data. Our joint obligations are also set out in a publicly accessible agreement at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. It states, for example, that we must clearly inform you about the use of Facebook tools on our site. We are also responsible for ensuring that the tools are integrated into our website in a privacy-compliant and secure manner. Facebook, on the other hand, is responsible, for example, for the data security of Facebook products. If you have any questions about data collection and processing by Facebook, you can contact the company directly. If you address the question to us, we are obliged to forward it to Facebook.
Below, we provide an overview of the various Facebook tools, what data is sent to Facebook, and how you can delete this data.
Along with many other products, Facebook also offers the so-called “Facebook Business Tools.” This is Facebook’s official term. But since the term is hardly known, we decided to simply call them Facebook tools. These include, among others:
Through these tools, Facebook expands services and is able to obtain information about user activities outside of Facebook.
We only want to show our services and products to people who are genuinely interested in them. With the help of ads (Facebook ads), we can reach exactly these people. However, for users to be shown suitable advertising, Facebook needs information about people’s wishes and needs. For this purpose, the company is provided with information about user behavior (and contact data) on our website. This allows Facebook to collect better user data and show interested people the right ads for our products or services. The tools thus enable tailored ad campaigns on Facebook.
Facebook refers to data about your behavior on our website as “event data.” This is also used for measurement and analysis services. Facebook can thus create “campaign reports” on our behalf about the impact of our advertising campaigns. In addition, analyses give us a better insight into how you use our services, website, or products. As a result, we use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, social plug-ins allow you to share content on our site directly on Facebook.
By using certain Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) may be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, phone number and IP address may be transmitted.
Facebook uses this information to match the data with the data it already has about you (provided you are a Facebook member). Before customer data is transmitted to Facebook, a so-called “hashing” process takes place. This means that a data set of any size is transformed into a string of characters. This also serves to encrypt data.
In addition to contact details, “event data” is also transmitted. “Event data” means the information we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information received with third parties (such as advertisers), unless the company has explicit permission or is legally required to do so. “Event data” can also be linked to contact details. This allows Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the matching process already mentioned, Facebook deletes the contact details again.
In order to deliver ads in an optimized way, Facebook only uses event data if it has been combined with other data (collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development and research purposes. Much of this data is transmitted to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and on whether you are a Facebook member, different numbers of cookies are stored in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools, we go into more detail about specific Facebook cookies. You can also find general information about the use of Facebook cookies at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies.
In principle, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own services and Facebook products. Facebook has servers distributed all over the world where its data is stored. However, customer data is deleted within 48 hours after it has been matched with its own user data.
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access, rectification, portability and deletion of your data.
Data is only completely deleted if you fully delete your Facebook account. And this is how deleting your Facebook account works:
1) Click Settings on the right in Facebook.
2) Then click on “Your Facebook Information” in the left column.
3) Now click “Deactivation and Deletion”.
4) Now select “Delete account” and then click “Continue and delete account”
5) Now enter your password, click “Next” and then “Delete account”
The storage of the data that Facebook receives via our site takes place, among other things, through cookies (e.g. social plugins). In your browser, you can disable, delete or manage individual or all cookies. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. Under the “Cookies” section you will find the relevant links to the respective instructions for the most common browsers.
If you generally do not want any cookies, you can set your browser to always notify you when a cookie is about to be set. This way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether to allow it or not.
If you have consented to data about you being processed and stored through integrated Facebook tools, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, your data is also stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the tools insofar as you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also place cookies in your browser to store data. We therefore recommend that you read our privacy text on cookies carefully and review Facebook’s privacy policy or cookie guidelines.
Facebook also processes some of your data in the USA. We point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. This may involve various risks for the lawfulness and security of data processing.
As the basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. especially in the USA) or for data transfers there, Facebook uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard contractual clauses (Standard Contractual Clauses – SCC) are template provisions provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also complies with European data protection standards if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Facebook undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here, among other places: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
Facebook’s Data Processing Terms, which comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses, can be found at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing.
We hope we have given you the most important information about the use and data processing by Facebook tools. If you want to learn more about how Facebook uses your data, we recommend the data policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update.
We have integrated the practical Facebook login on our site. This allows you to log in with us very easily using your Facebook account, without having to create another user account. If you decide to complete your registration via Facebook login, you will be redirected to the social media network Facebook. There, the login takes place using your Facebook user data. Through this login process, data about you or your user behavior is stored and transmitted to Facebook.

This allows us to better tailor our services and promotions to your interests and needs. Data we receive from Facebook in this way is public data such as
