Introduction
We take the protection of our website users' data very seriously and are committed to protecting the information that users provide to us in connection with the use of our website. We are also committed to protecting and using your information in accordance with applicable law.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your information through the use of our website (the ‘Services’) when you access the Services through your devices.
Please read the Privacy Policy carefully and make sure you fully understand our practices regarding your data before using our services.

This Privacy Policy tells you:
What data do we collect?
Below is an overview of the data we may collect:
-
Non-identified and non-identifiable information that you provide while using our services or that is collected through the use of our services (‘non-personal data’). Non-personal information does not allow us to identify who collected it. Non-personal data that we collect consists mainly of technical and summarised usage information.
-
Individually identifiable information, i.e. any information by which you can be identified or could reasonably be identified (‘personal data’). The Personal Data we collect through our Services may include information that is requested from time to time, such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses and more. If we combine personal data with non-personal data, we will treat it as personal data for as long as it is combined.
How do we collect data?
Below are the main methods we use to collect data:
-
We collect data when you use our services. So when you visit our website and use services, we may collect, record and store usage, sessions and related information.
-
We collect data that you provide to us yourself, for example when you contact us directly via a communication channel (e.g. an email with a comment or feedback).
-
We may collect data from third party sources as described below.
-
We collect data that you provide to us when you log in to our services via a third-party provider such as Facebook or Google.
Why do we collect this data?

to send you updates, news, promotional material and other information related to our services.
Who do we share this data with?
We may disclose your information to our service providers in order to operate our services (e.g., storing data via third party hosting services, providing technical support, etc.).
We may also disclose your information in the following circumstances: (i) to investigate, detect, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities or other wrongdoing; (ii) to establish or exercise our rights of defence; (iii) to protect our rights, property or personal safety, or the safety of our users or the public; (iv) in the event of a change of control of us or one of our affiliates (by way of merger, acquisition or purchase of (substantially all) of its assets, etc.); (v) to transfer your information by way of an authorised merger, acquisition or purchase of (substantially all) of its assets, etc.; (vi) in the event of a change of control of us or one of our affiliates (by way of a merger, acquisition or purchase of (substantially all) of its assets, etc.). etc.); (v) to collect, hold and/or manage your information using authorised third party service providers (e.g. cloud service providers) as appropriate for business purposes; (vi) to work with third parties to improve your user experience. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that we may transfer, disclose or otherwise use non-personal data to third parties at our discretion.
Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device with the help of the browser. When you visit or access our services, we authorise third parties to use web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts and other technologies and analysis services (‘tracking technologies’). These Tracking Technologies may allow third parties to automatically collect your data in order to improve the browsing experience on our website, optimise its performance and ensure a tailored user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.
To find out more, please read our cookie policy.
A banner at the bottom of this website indicates the use of cookies. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. The procedure for this varies depending on the browser. Information on this and other options relating to cookies can be found on the pages of the respective browser providers.
If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
Web analysis / Google Analytics
On our website we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (hereinafter always referred to as ‘Google’ or ‘Google Analytics’). Google Analytics uses so-called targeted cookies, which are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 para. 3 TKG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit a (consent) and f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website.
Further information can be found in the Google Analytics terms of use and in Google's general privacy policy. Please check there regularly, as the data protection provisions of Google products are constantly updated and adapted due to extended functionalities.
IP anonymisation / pseudonymisation
As your privacy is important to us, your user data is pseudonymised. We use the function ‘Activation of IP anonymisation’ or ‘anonymizeIp’ to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). This means that your IP address is recorded by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, but immediately pseudonymised (e.g. by deleting the last 8 bits). This means that only a rough localisation is possible. In exceptional cases, IP addresses may be transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and only truncated there. Google will process this information on our behalf in order to analyse the use of our website, compile reports on website activity and provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Deactivate Google Analytics / prevent data collection
You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by selecting the appropriate cookie settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, other areas and services of our website may not function as expected.
Google also offers its own browser plugin to deactivate Google Analytics, which can be downloaded and installed on this website.
Contract data processing
The relationship with Google is based on the so-called ‘EU-US Privacy Shield’, an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA. It can therefore be assumed that there is an ‘adequate level of data protection’ when Google processes personal data and that the data is handled in compliance with data protection regulations. Google's certification under the Privacy Shield can be viewed at privacyshield.gov.

If you contact us using the form on the website or by email and submit personal data, the data you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.
Further information on how Wix manages the data of website visitors can be found in sections 8, 13 and 14 of the Wix privacy policy.
How long is the data stored?
Please note that we will retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may correct, amend or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our discretion.
How do we protect the data?
The hosting service for our website provides us with the online platform through which we can offer you our services. Your data may be stored via our hosting provider's data storage, databases and general applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall and they provide secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services.
Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, publish or otherwise disclose to us or others.
For this reason, we encourage you to set strong passwords and, whenever possible, not to provide us or others with confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. As email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not disclose confidential information via either of these communication channels.
How do we deal with minors?
Children can use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. The collection of some data (including data collected via cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies) may be automatic. If we knowingly collect, use or disclose information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We will not condition a child's participation in an online activity on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We will only use the information we collect in connection with the services that the child has requested.
We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities on the Services. Parents may review information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further information from their child, and request that any information we have collected be deleted from our records.
Please contact us to view, update or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe that your identity is questionable. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.
Use of personal data
We will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only if we are satisfied that:
-
the use of your personal data is necessary to fulfil or enter into a contract (e.g. to provide you with the services themselves or customer care or technical support);
-
the use of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation; or
-
the use of your personal data is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that this is done at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).
Advertising service
We will not pass on your e-mail address or other personal data to advertising companies or advertising networks without your consent.
Your rights
As an EU resident, you can:
-
Request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your stored personal data and certain additional information;
-
request to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format

request the rectification of your personal data stored by us
-
request the erasure of your personal data;

-
request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, or
-
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.
Please note, however, that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal data we collect and how we use it, please contact us as set out below.
In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders to affiliates or other third parties and from your country/jurisdiction to other countries/jurisdictions around the world. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or equivalent level of protection of personal data exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have appropriate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal data is minimised and that such third parties act at all times in accordance with applicable laws.
