General Information on Data Protection
The protection and security of your personal data are very important to us. This website therefore stores and processes data exclusively in accordance with Austrian and European data protection regulations (GDPR). As a user, you agree to the data processing described in this declaration. The current version of the GDPR can be found at:
eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/
This privacy policy applies only to this website. If you are redirected to other websites via links on our pages, please inform yourself directly on the respective website about how your data is handled there. Your personal data (e.g. title, name, address, email address, telephone number, bank details, credit card number) will be processed by us only in accordance with the provisions of Austrian data protection law. The following provisions inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection, processing, and use of personal data.
The use of this website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) are collected on our pages, this is done, wherever possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email or via unencrypted websites) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
When placing an order via our website, the data you submit or enter will be checked manually or automatically against existing data for validity and accuracy and, if necessary, matched in order to correct the data stored by us. For this purpose, it may be necessary for our employees to contact you by email or telephone. The data you enter will be used exclusively for processing the order or handling the registration; the data will not be passed on to third parties.
