This privacy policy informs you about how we process your personal data.

2. What data and sources do we use?

We process data that we receive as part of our contractual relationship with you. We obtain this data directly from you, e.g., during an order or purchase of a service.

If necessary, we process the following categories of data for the execution of your purchases and our services:

3. On what legal basis and for what purpose are your data used?

3.2 For pre-contractual measures and fulfillment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR)

We process your data to fulfill our contracts with you. The specific purposes depend on the contractual relationship.

3.3 For legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR)

As part of a balancing of interests, we may use your data ourselves or have it processed by third parties to protect legitimate interests. Our interest arises from the respective purpose and is generally economic in nature (efficient task fulfillment, sales, risk minimization). When possible, data is processed in a pseudonymized or anonymized form.

3.4 Based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR)

If you have given us consent to process your personal data, this consent serves as the legal basis for the specified processing. In particular, you may have agreed to receive advertising via email, phone, or messaging services. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. Please contact our address for this. The revocation only affects future processing, not past actions.

Separate consents can be given for the following services:

  • Newsletter Subscription
    You may register on our website for our free newsletter. If you subscribe, we process the following data:
    • Data you provide when subscribing (email address, salutation, first and last name, date of birth, content preferences)
    • Data proving your consent (IP address, timestamp of consent)
    • Data on newsletter usage (opens, link clicks, email deliverability, device data)
    • Data generated from website use after newsletter clicks (e.g., pages visited)
    You can unsubscribe at any time via the "Unsubscribe Newsletter" link or by contacting us directly.
  • Participation in contests, competitions, or similar promotions
    For the processing of these actions, personal data such as salutation, name, address, email address, and possibly additional necessary data may be used. The data will only be used for the action and deleted afterward unless retention is legally required.

3.5 Based on legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU-GDPR)

We are subject to various legal obligations (e.g., Austrian Civil Code, tax laws). These include identity and age verification, fraud prevention, tax compliance, and risk assessment.

3.6 Data processing for direct marketing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR in conjunction with § 7 para. 3 UWG)

We process your data for direct marketing purposes. You have a right to object under Article 21 EU-GDPR. If you object, the data will be deleted. You can unsubscribe from customer mailings at any time via our contact address or an unsubscribe link in the emails.

Your data is only shared if there is a legal basis to do so. Within our organization, only necessary departments have access. Other potential recipients include:

  • Data processors (Art. 28 EU-GDPR)
  • Public authorities (e.g., tax offices)
  • Entities to whom you have given your consent for transmission

5. How long is my personal data stored?

Data is stored for as long as necessary for our business relationship or as legally required. If processing is based on consent, the data will be deleted upon achieving the purpose or revocation.

6. Is my data transferred to a third country?

Transfers only occur when necessary, legally required, or with your consent. This is done according to Article 49 EU-GDPR or safeguarded by EU Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46 para. 2 lit. c EU-GDPR.
