Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing activities require your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of data protection legislation, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection legislation is the Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based.

If you request that the data be transferred directly to another data controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or enquiries, that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the information you send to us cannot be read by others.

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some web pages use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our site more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are known as “session cookies”. These are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to warn you when a cookie is set, to accept cookies only in specific cases, to refuse cookies in certain cases or generally, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function) are stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. These include:

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the computer accessing the site

• Time of the server request

• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form, we will store the details you provide on the form, including your contact details, for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case we need to follow up with further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you enter in the contact form will be retained by us until you ask us to delete it, until you withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example, once we have completed processing your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
