Introduction and overview
We have drawn up this data protection declaration (version 29.10.2023-112286912) in order 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 as the controller - and the processors (e.g. providers) commissioned by us - process, will process in future and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral. In short, we inform you comprehensively about the data we process about you.
Data protection statements usually sound very technical and use legal terminology. This privacy statement, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as it is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links to further information are provided and graphics are used. In this way, we inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible by providing the most concise, unclear and legalistic explanations possible, as is often standard practice 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 you did not know. If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible office mentioned below or in the imprint, to follow the links provided and to look at further information on third party sites. You will of course also find our contact details in the imprint.
Scope of application
This data protection declaration applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (order processors). By personal data, we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO, such as a person's name, e-mail address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and invoice our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy includes:
- all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
- social media sites and email communications
- mobile apps for smartphones and other devices
In short, the data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in the company via the aforementioned channels in a structured manner. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately where applicable.
Legal basis
In the following privacy statement, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable 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 to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/ALL/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.
We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of your entered data of a contact form.
- Contract (Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO): In order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a sales contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) DSGVO): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website in a secure and economically efficient manner. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.
Further conditions such as the performance of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of public authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not generally occur with us. If such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be indicated at the appropriate place.
In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:
- In Austria, this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG for short.
- In Germany, this is the Federal Data Protection Act, or BDSG for short.

Storage period
The fact that we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products applies as a general criterion with us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for processing the data no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes.
Should you wish your data to be deleted or revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to store it.
We will inform you about the specific duration of the respective data processing below, provided we have further information on this.
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
In accordance with Articles 13, 14 of the GDPR, we inform you of the following rights you have to ensure that data is processed fairly and transparently:
- According to Article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to know whether we are processing data about you. If this is the case, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and the following information:
- the purpose for which we carry out the processing;
- the categories, i.e. the types of data that are processed;
- who receives this data and if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
- how long the data will be stored;
- the existence of the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
- that you can complain to a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found below);
- the origin of the data if we have not collected it from you;
- whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated to arrive at a personal profile of you.
- You have a right to rectification of data under Article 16 of the GDPR, which means that we must rectify data if you find errors.
- You have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") under Article 17 of the GDPR, which specifically means that you can ask for your data to be deleted. According to Article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to restriction of processing, which means that we may only store the data but not use it any further.
- According to Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a standard format upon request.
- You have a right to object under Article 21 of the GDPR, which entails a change in processing after enforcement.
- If the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest), you may object to the processing. We will then check as soon as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.
- If data is used to carry out direct marketing, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for direct marketing.
- If data is used to carry out profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for profiling.
- You may have the right under Article 22 of the GDPR not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (for example profiling).
- According to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint. This means that you can complain to the data protection authority at any time if you believe that the data processing of personal data violates the GDPR.
In short: You have rights - do not hesitate to contact the responsible body listed above with us!
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. For Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany, there is a data protection commissioner for each federal state. For more 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:

Telefone.: +43 1 52 152-0
E-Mail: dsb@dsb.gv.at

Data transfer to third countries
We only transfer or process data to countries outside the scope of the GDPR (third countries) if you consent to this processing or another legal permission exists. This applies in particular if the processing is required by law or necessary for the fulfilment of a contractual relationship and in any case only insofar as this is generally permitted. Your consent is in most cases the most important reason for us to have data processed in third countries. Processing personal data in third countries such as the USA, where many software manufacturers offer services and have their server locations, may mean that personal data is processed and stored in unexpected ways.
We expressly point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently only an adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA if a US company that processes personal data of EU citizens in the USA is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can find more information on this at: https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en
We will provide you with more detailed information about data transfers to third countries, where applicable, at the appropriate points in this privacy policy.Data processing by US services that are not active participants in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework may result in data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may have access to individual data. In addition, it may happen that collected data is linked to data from other services of the same provider, if you have a corresponding user account. Where possible, we try to use server locations within the EU, if this is offered.
Data processing security
To protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organisational measures. Where possible, we encrypt or pseudonymise personal data. In this way, we make it as difficult as possible for third parties to infer personal information from our data.
Article 25 of the GDPR speaks of "data protection through technical design and through data protection-friendly default settings" and thus means that both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room) should always be designed with security in mind and that appropriate measures should be taken. In the following, we will go into more detail on specific measures, if necessary.
TLS encryption with https
TLS, encryption and https sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for "secure hypertext transfer protocol") to transmit data tap-proof on the internet. This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured - no one can "listen in".
In this way, we have introduced an additional layer of security and comply with data protection by design of technology (Article 25(1) DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognise the use of this data transfer protection by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser, to the left of the internet address (e.g. examplepage.de) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our internet address. If you want to know more about encryption, we recommend a Google search for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki" to get good links to further information.
Communication
| Communication Summary 👥 Affected parties: Anyone who communicates with us by phone, email or online form. 📓 Processed data: e.g. telephone number, name, e-mail address, form data entered. You can find more details on this in the respective contact type used. 🤝 Purpose: Handling communication with customers, business partners, etc. 📅 Storage period: duration of the business case and legal requirements ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (Contract), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests) |
Persons concerned
All those who seek contact with us via the communication channels provided by us are affected by the aforementioned processes.
Telefone
When you call us, the call data is stored pseudonymously on the respective end device and with the telecommunications provider used. In addition, data such as name and telephone number can subsequently be sent by e-mail and stored for the purpose of responding to enquiries. The data is deleted as soon as the business case has been completed and legal requirements permit.
If you communicate with us by e-mail, data may be stored on the respective end device (computer, laptop, smartphone,...) and data is stored on the e-mail server. The data is deleted as soon as the business case has been completed and legal requirements permit.
Online Forms
If you communicate with us using an online form, data is stored on our web server and, if necessary, forwarded to an e-mail address of ours. The data is deleted as soon as the business case has been terminated and legal requirements permit.
Legal basis
The processing of data is based on the following legal bases:
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent): You give us your consent to store your data and to further use it for purposes related to the business case;
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (contract): There is a need for the performance of a contract with you or a processor such as the telephone provider, or we need to process the data for pre-contractual activities such as preparing a quotation;
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests): We want to conduct customer enquiries and business communications in a professional manner. For this purpose, certain technical facilities such as e-mail programmes, exchange servers and mobile operators are necessary in order to be able to operate the communication efficiently.
Order processing contract (OPC)
In this section, we would like to explain what a processing contract is and why it is needed. Because the word "order processing contract" is quite a mouthful, we will also often just use the acronym AVV here in the text. Like most companies, we do not work alone, but also use the services of other companies or individuals ourselves. Through the involvement of various companies or service providers, it may be that we pass on personal data for processing. These partners then act as processors with whom we conclude a contract, the so-called order processing agreement (AVV). The most important thing for you to know is that the processing of your personal data is carried out exclusively according to our instructions and must be regulated by the GCU.
Who are processors?
As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all the data we process from you. In addition to data controllers, there may also be so-called processors. This includes any company or person who processes personal data on our behalf. More precisely and according to the GDPR definition: any natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on our behalf is considered a processor. Consequently, processors can be service providers such as hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft, for example.
For a better understanding of the terminology, here is an overview of the three roles in the GDPR:
Affected party (you as a customer or interested party) → Responsible party (we as company and client) → Processors (service providers such as web hosts or cloud providers)
Content of a processing order
As already mentioned above, we have concluded an AVV with our partners who act as processors. This states first and foremost that the processor processes the data to be processed exclusively in accordance with the GDPR. The contract must be concluded in writing; however, in this context, the electronic conclusion of the contract is also considered to be "in writing". Only on the basis of the contract will the processing of personal data take place. The contract must contain the following:
- Binding to us as the person responsible
- Duties and rights of the controller
- Categories of data subjects
- Nature of the personal data
- Nature and purpose of the data processing
- Subject and duration of data processing
- Place of performance of the data processing
Furthermore, the contract contains all obligations of the processor. The most important obligations are:
- ensure data security measures
- take possible technical and organisational measures to protect the rights of the data subject
- keep a data processing register
- cooperate with the data protection supervisory authority at its request
- carry out a risk analysis in relation to the personal data received.
- Sub-processors may only be engaged with the written consent of the data controller.
You can find out what such an AVV looks like in concrete terms, for example, at https://www.wko.at/service/wirtschaftsrecht-gewerberecht/eu-dsgvo-mustervertrag-auftragsverarbeitung.html. A model contract is presented here.
MeinEinkauf GmbH
For orders from Switzerland or Liechtenstein, personal data (address, name, e-mail) are transmitted to MeinEinkauf AG, St. Gallen, for the purpose of customs clearance and fulfilment of the purchase.

More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie. 📓 Data processed: Depending on the cookie used. More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie. 📅 Storage time: depends on the cookie, can vary from hours to years ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR (Legitimate Interests) |
What are Cookies?
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. Popular 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 really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other applications. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, effectively 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 about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you return to our site, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to the cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the setting 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. Here, 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 is to be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programmes and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.
Cookie data, for example, can look like this:
Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152112286912-9
Intended use: Differentiation of website visitors
Expiry date: After 2 years
A browser should be able to support these minimum sizes:
- At least 4096 bytes per cookie
- At least 50 cookies per domain
- At least 3000 cookies in total
What are the different types of cookies?
The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user places a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and later goes to the checkout. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart even if the user closes his browser window.
Purposeful cookies
These cookies collect information about user behaviour and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behaviour of the website with different browsers.
Targeting cookies
These cookies ensure a better user experience. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.
Advertising-Cookies
If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265, the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called "HTTP State Management Mechanism".
Purpose of processing via cookies
What data is processed?
Storage period of cookies
Right of objection - how can I delete cookies?
Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome
Safari: Managing cookies and website data with Safari
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer
Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies
If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. In this way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions in Google with the search term "Delete Cookies Chrome" or "Deactivate Cookies Chrome" in the case of a Chrome browser.
Legal basis
The so-called "Cookie Guidelines" have been in place since 2009. These state that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different reactions to these directives. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in § 96 para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the Cookie Directive has not been implemented as national law. Instead, this directive was largely implemented in § 15 para.3 of the Telemedia Act (TMG).
For absolutely necessary cookies, even where there is no consent, there are legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to provide visitors to the website with a pleasant user experience and for this purpose certain cookies are often absolutely necessary.
If cookies are used that are not absolutely necessary, this only happens in the case of your consent. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
In the following sections, you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies, insofar as the software used uses cookies.
Web hosting introduction
| Webhosting Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: professional hosting of the website and securing of the operation 📓 Processed data: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. You can find more details on this below or with 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) |
What is Webhosting?
When you visit websites nowadays, certain information - including personal data - is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By website, by the way, we mean the totality 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, example.de or sampleexample.com.
Why do we process personal data?
The purposes of the data processing are:
- Professional hosting of the website and safeguarding of the operation
- to maintain operational and IT security
- Anonymous evaluation of access behaviour to improve our offer and, if necessary, for criminal prosecution or the pursuit of claims.
What data is processed?
Even while you are visiting our website right now, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically stores data such as
- the complete internet address (URL) of the accessed website
- Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)
- the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g. https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichgekommen/)
- The host name and IP address of the device being accessed (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121).
- Date and time
- in files, the so-called web server log files
How long is data stored?
As a rule, the above data is stored for a fortnight and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed by authorities in the event of unlawful behaviour.Legal basis
The lawfulness of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary in order to present the company on the internet in a secure and user-friendly manner and to be able to pursue attacks and claims from this if necessary.Hetzner Privacy Policy
Our website is hosted by the company Hetzner GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. You can find out more about the data processed by Hetzner at the following address: https://www.hetzner-com/de/legal/privacy-policy/
Website Building Block (Modular) Systems Introduction
| Website Building Block Systems Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: optimisation of our service performance 📓 Processed data: Data such as technical usage information such as browser activity, clickstream activity, session heatmaps as well as contact details, IP address or your geographical location. More details can be found below in this privacy policy and in the privacy policy of the providers. 📅 Storage duration: depends on the provider ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Consent) |
What are Website Building Block Systems?
We use a modular website system for our website. Modular systems are special forms of a content management system (CMS). With a modular system, website operators can create a website very easily and without any programming knowledge. In many cases, web hosts also offer modular systems. By using a modular system, your personal data can also be collected, stored and processed. In this data protection text we provide you with general information about data processing through modular systems. Further information can be found in the provider’s privacy policy.
Why do we use website builders for our website?
The biggest advantage of a modular system is its ease of use. We want to offer you a clear, simple and clear website that we can easily operate and maintain ourselves - without external support. A modular system now offers many helpful functions that we can use even without programming knowledge. This allows us to design our web presence according to our wishes and offer you an informative and pleasant time on our website.
What data is stored by a modular system?
Exactly which data is stored depends of course on the website construction system used. Each provider processes and collects different data from website visitors. However, technical usage information such as operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, hosting provider and the date of your website visit are usually collected. Tracking data (e.g. browser activity, clickstream activity, session heatmaps, etc.) can also be processed. Personal data can also be collected and stored. This usually involves contact details such as email address, telephone number (if you have provided it), IP address and geographical location data. You can find out exactly which data is stored in the provider’s privacy policy.
How long and where is the data stored?
We will inform you below about the duration of data processing in connection with the website modular system used, provided we have further information about it. You can find detailed information about this in the provider’s privacy policy. In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. It may be that the provider stores your data according to its own requirements, over which we have no influence.
Right of rescission
You always have the right to information, correction and deletion of your personal data. If you have any questions, you can contact those responsible for the website modular system used at any time. You can find contact details either in our data protection declaration or on the website of the relevant provider.Legal Basis
We have a legitimate interest in using a modular website system to optimize our online service and present it to you in an efficient and user-appealing manner. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use the modular system if you have given your consent.Web Analytics Introduction
| Web Analytics Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Evaluation of visitor information to optimise the web offer. 📓 Data processed: Access statistics, which include data such as access locations, device data, access duration and time, navigation behaviour, click behaviour and IP addresses. More details can be found in the respective web analytics tool used. 📅 Storage duration: depending on the web analytics tool used ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (Consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests) |
What is Web Analytics?
We use software on our website to evaluate the behavior of website visitors, known as web analytics for short. Data is collected, which the respective analytical tool provider (also called tracking tool) stores, manages and processes. The data is used to create analyzes of user behavior on our website and make them available to us as the website operator. In addition, most tools offer various testing options. For example, we can test which offers or content are best received by our visitors. We will show you two different offers for a limited period of time. After the test (so-called A/B test), we know which product or content our website visitors find more interesting. For such test procedures, as well as for other analytics procedures, user profiles can also be created and the data can be stored in cookies.
Why do we use Web Analytics?
We have a clear goal in mind with our website: we want to provide the best web offering on the market for our industry. In order to achieve this goal, we want to offer the best and most interesting offer on the one hand and, on the other hand, make sure that you feel completely comfortable on our website. With the help of web analysis tools, we can take a closer look at the behavior of our website visitors and then improve our website accordingly for you and us. For example, we can see how old our visitors are on average, where they come from, when our website is most visited or which content or products are particularly popular. All of this information helps us to optimize the website and thus best adapt it to your needs, interests and wishes.
Which data is processed?
Of course, exactly which data is stored depends on the analysis tools used. However, it is usually stored, for example, what content you view on our website, what buttons or links you click on, when you access a page, what browser you use, what device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) you use website you visit or what computer system you use. If you agreed that location data may also be collected, this can also be processed by the web analysis tool provider.
How long the respective data is stored always depends on the provider. Some cookies only store data for a few minutes or until you leave the website, other cookies can store data for several years.
Duration of data processing
We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information. In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. If required by law, for example in the case of accounting, this storage period can also be exceeded.
Right of rescission
You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.
Legal basis

What is Google Analytics?
Deactivate Google AnalyticsOn our website we use the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) from the American company Google Inc. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, if you click on a link, this action will be saved in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. The reports we receive from Google Analytics allow us to better tailor our website and service to your needs. Below we will go into more detail about the tracking tool and, above all, inform you about what data is stored and how you can prevent this.- Target group reports: Through target group reports we get to know our users better and know more precisely who is interested in our service.
- Display Reports: Display reports make it easier for us to analyze and improve our online advertising.
- Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports give us helpful information about how we can attract more people to our service.
- Behavioral reports: This is where we learn how you interact with our website. We can track the route you take on our site and which links you click on.
- Conversion reports: Conversion is the process in which you take a desired action based on a marketing message. For example, when you go from being just a website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. These reports help us learn more about how our marketing efforts are being received by you. This is how we want to increase our conversion rate.
- Real-time reports: Here we always find out immediately what is happening on our website. For example, we can see how many users are currently reading this text.
Why do we use Google Analytics on our website?
Our goal with this website is clear: we want to offer you the best possible service. The statistics and data from Google Analytics help us achieve this goal.What data does Google Analytics store?
Google Analytics creates a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie using a tracking code. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user and you are assigned a user ID. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognized as a “returning” user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This makes it possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.Using identifiers such as cookies, app instance IDs, user IDs or custom event parameters, your interactions are measured across platforms, provided you have consented. Interactions are all types of actions that you take on our website. If you also use other Google systems (such as a Google account), data generated via Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not pass on Google Analytics data unless we as website operators authorize this. Exceptions may occur if required by law.
According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. However, Google uses the IP address data to derive location data and deletes it immediately afterwards. All IP addresses collected from users in the EU are deleted before the data is stored in a data center or on a server.Name: _ga
Value: 2.1326744211.152112286912-5
Purpose of use: By default, analytics.js uses the _ga cookie to store the user ID. Basically, it is used to distinguish website visitors.
Expiry Date: after 2 Years
Name: _gid
Expiry Date: after 24 Hours
Name: _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id>
Expiry Date: after 1 Minute
How long and where is the data stored? Google has their servers spread all over the world. You can read exactly where the Google data centers are located here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/?hl=de
- 2 months: this is the shortest storage period.
- 14 months: By default, data is stored at GA4 for 14 months.
- 26 months: you can also save the data for 26 months.
- Data will not be deleted until we delete it manually
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
Note: This list cannot claim to be complete, as Google continually changes its choice of cookies. GA4 also aims to improve data protection. Therefore, the tool offers some options for controlling data collection. For example, we can set the storage period ourselves and also control data collection.
Bounce rate: A bounce is when you only view one page on our website and then leave our website again.
Other data includes contact details, any reviews, playing media (e.g. when you play a video via our site), sharing content via social media or adding it to your favorites. The list does not claim to be complete and only serves as a general guide to data storage by Google Analytics.
Your data is distributed on different physical storage media. This has the advantage that the data can be accessed more quickly and is better protected against manipulation. Every Google data center has appropriate emergency programs for your data. For example, if Google's hardware fails or natural disasters paralyze servers, the risk of service disruption at Google remains low.
The retention period of the data depends on the properties used. The storage period is always determined specifically for each individual property. Google Analytics offers us four options for controlling storage duration:
In addition, there is also the option that data will only be deleted if you no longer visit our website within the period chosen by us. In this case, the retention period will be reset each time you visit our website again within the specified period.
Once the specified period has expired, the data will be deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data linked to cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs (e.g. cookies from the DoubleClick domain). Report results are based on aggregated data and are stored independently of user data. Aggregated data is a fusion of individual data into a larger unit.
Under European Union data protection law, you have the right to access, update, delete or restrict your data. You can use the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics JavaScript (analytics.js, gtag.js) to prevent Google Analytics 4 from using your data. You can download and install the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Please note that this add-on only deactivates data collection by Google Analytics. If you generally want to deactivate, delete or manage cookies, you will find the relevant links to the relevant instructions for the most popular browsers under the “Cookies” section.
Legal basis
The use of Google Analytics requires your consent, which we obtained with our cookie popup. According to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by web analytics tools.
In addition to consent, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing the behavior of website visitors and thus improving our offering technically and economically. With the help of Google Analytics, we detect errors on the website, identify attacks and improve profitability. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use Google Analytics if you have given your consent.
Google also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can pose various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.
As the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there, Google uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Article 46, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Google undertakes to comply with European data protection standards 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 resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which refer to the standard contractual clauses, can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/adsprocessorterms/.
We hope we were able to provide you with the most important information about data processing by Google Analytics. If you want to find out more about the tracking service, we recommend these two links: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/en/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/ 6004245?hl=de.
Google Analytics reports on demographics and interests
We have activated the advertising reporting functions in Google Analytics. Demographics and interests reports include information about age, gender, and interests. This allows us to get a better picture of our users - without being able to assign this data to individual people. You can find out more about the advertising features at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3450482?hl=de_AT&utm_id=ad.Google Analytics IP-Anonymization
We have implemented IP address anonymization from Google Analytics on this website. This function was developed by Google so that this website can comply with the applicable data protection regulations and recommendations of the local data protection authorities if they prohibit the storage of the full IP address. The anonymization or masking of the IP takes place as soon as the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network and before the data is stored or processed.E-Mail Marketing Introduction

What is Twitter?
We have integrated Twitter functions on our website. These include, for example, embedded tweets, timelines, buttons or hashtags. Twitter is a short messaging service and a social media platform from Twitter Inc., One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland.Why do we use Twitter on our website?
Like many other websites and companies, we try to offer our services and communicate with our customers through various channels. Twitter in particular has grown on us as a useful “small” news service. We constantly tweet or retweet exciting, funny or interesting content. We understand that you cannot follow every channel separately. After all, you also have something else to do. That's why we have also integrated Twitter functions on our website. You can experience our Twitter activity “on site” or come to our Twitter page via a direct link. Through the integration we want to strengthen our service and user-friendliness on our website.
What data does Twitter store?
On some of our subpages you will find the built-in Twitter functions. When you interact with Twitter content, such as clicking a button, Twitter may collect and store data. Even if you don't have a Twitter account yourself. Twitter calls this data “log data”. This includes demographic data, browser cookie IDs, your smartphone ID, hashed email addresses, and information about which pages you have visited on Twitter and what actions you have taken. Of course, Twitter stores more data if you have a Twitter account and are logged in. This storage usually happens via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are usually set in your browser and transmit various information to Twitter.Name: personalization_id

If Twitter collects data from other websites, it will be deleted, aggregated or otherwise obscured after a maximum of 30 days. The Twitter servers are located in various server centers in the United States. It can therefore be assumed that the data collected is collected and stored in America. After our research, we could not clearly determine whether Twitter also has its own servers in Europe. In principle, Twitter can store the data collected until it is no longer useful to the company, you delete the data or there is a statutory deletion period.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
Twitter repeatedly emphasizes in its data protection guidelines that it does not store data from external website visits if you or your browser are located in the European Economic Area or Switzerland. However, if you interact with Twitter directly, Twitter will of course also store your data.Legal basis

| Content Delivery Networks Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Optimization of our service (to make the website load faster) 📓 Data processed: Data such as your IP address. You can find more details about this below and in the individual data protection texts. 📅 Storage period: In most cases, the data is stored until it is no longer needed to provide the service ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests) |
What is a Content Delivery Network?
We use a so-called content delivery network on our website. Most often such a network is just called a CDN. A CDN helps us load our website quickly and easily, regardless of your location. Your personal data is also stored, managed and processed on the servers of the CDN provider used. Below we will go into more general detail about the service and its data processing. You can find detailed information about how your data is handled in the provider’s respective data protection declaration.Why do we use a Content Delivery Network on our website?
A fast-loading website is part of our service. Of course, we know how annoying it is when a website loads at a snail's pace. Most of the time you even lose patience and run away before the website is fully loaded. Of course we want to avoid that. Therefore, a fast-loading website is a natural part of our website offering. With a content delivery network, our website loads significantly faster in your browser. Using the CDN is particularly helpful if you are abroad because the website is delivered from a server near you.
Which data is processed?
When you request a website or the content of a website and it is cached in a CDN, the CDN routes the request to the server closest to you and this server delivers the content. Content Delivery Networks are built to allow JavaScript libraries to be downloaded and hosted on npm and Github servers. Alternatively, most CDNs can also load WordPress plugins if they are hosted on WordPress.org. Your browser may send personal data to the content delivery network we use. This includes data such as IP address, browser type, browser version, which website is loaded or the time and date of the page visit. This data is collected and stored by the CDN. Whether cookies are used to store data depends on the network used. Please read the data protection texts of the respective service.
Right of rescission
If you want to completely prevent this data transfer, you can install a JavaScript blocker (see for example https://noscript.net/) on your PC. Of course, our website can no longer offer the usual service (such as fast loading speeds).
Legal Basis
If you have consented to the use of a content delivery network, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by a content delivery network.Cookie Consent Management Platform Introduction

What is YouTube?
We have integrated YouTube videos on our website. This means we can present you interesting videos directly on our site. YouTube is a video portal that has been a subsidiary of Google since 2006.

Rating Platforms Introduction
| Rating Platforms Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website or other rating platforms 🤝 Purpose: To provide feedback about our products and/or services 📓 Processed data: including IP address, email address, name. You can find more details about this below or on the respective rating platforms used. 📅 Storage period: depends on the respective platform ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests), |
What are Rating Platforms?
You can rate our products or services on various rating platforms. We are participants in some of these platforms so that we can receive feedback from you and thus optimize our offering. If you rate us via a rating platform, the privacy policy and general terms and conditions of the respective rating service apply. Very often you also have to register to leave a review. Rating technologies (widgets) can also be integrated into our website. By using such an integrated tool, data is also transferred to the corresponding provider, processed and stored.Why do we use Rating Platforms?
Rating platforms collect feedback and ratings about our offers. Through your reviews we receive quick feedback and can improve our products and/or services much more efficiently. On the one hand, the reviews help us to optimize our offers and, on the other hand, they give you and all our future customers a good overview of the quality of our products and services.
Which data is processed?
With your consent, we transmit information about you and the services you use to the relevant rating platform. We do this to ensure that you have actually used one of our services. Only then can you give real feedback. The data transmitted is only used for user identification. Which data exactly is stored and processed naturally depends on the providers used. Personal data such as your IP address, email address or your name are usually also provided to the rating platforms. Even after you have submitted your review, order information such as the order number of a purchased item will be forwarded to the relevant platform. If your email address is transmitted, this is so that the review platform can send you an email after purchasing a product. So that we can integrate your review into our website, we also provide the providers with the information that you have accessed our site. The evaluation platform used is responsible for the personal data collected.
How long and where is the data stored?
You can find out more about the duration of data processing in the provider's corresponding data protection declaration below, provided we have further information. In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. Personal data mentioned in a review is usually anonymized by employees of the platform used and is therefore only visible to company administrators. The data collected is stored on the provider's servers and, for most providers, deleted after the end of the order.
Right of rescission
You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser.
Legal basis
If you have consented to the use of a review platform, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by a review portal.Google Customer Reviews Privacy Policy
We also use the Google Customer Reviews rating platform for our website. The service provider is the American company Google Inc. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.Trustpilot Privacy Policy
We use the Trustpilot rating platform on our website. The company behind it is Trustpilot A/S, Pilestraede 58, 5, 1112 Copenhagen, Denmark.

Webdesign Introduction
| Webdesign Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: To improve the user experience 📓 Data processed: Which data is processed depends largely on the services used. This usually involves IP address, technical data, language settings, browser version, screen resolution and name of the browser. You can find more details about the web design tools used. 📅 Storage duration: depends on the tools used ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests) |
What is Webdesign?
We use various tools on our website that serve our web design. Web design is not, as is often assumed, just about making our website look pretty, but also about functionality and performance. But of course the right look of a website is also one of the major goals of professional web design. Web design is a sub-area of media design and deals with the visual as well as the structural and functional design of a website. The aim is to use web design to improve your experience on our website. In web design jargon, this is referred to as user experience (UX) and usability. User experience refers to all the impressions and experiences that website visitors experience on a website. A sub-point of the user experience is usability. This is about the user-friendliness of a website. The main emphasis here is on ensuring that content, subpages or products are clearly structured and that you can find what you are looking for easily and quickly. In order to offer you the best possible experience on our website, we also use so-called third-party web design tools. In this data protection declaration, the “web design” category includes all services that improve the design of our website. These can be, for example, fonts, various plugins or other integrated web design functions.
Why do we use web design tools?
How you absorb information on a website depends very much on the structure, functionality and visual perception of the website. Therefore, good and professional web design became more and more important for us. We are constantly working on improving our website and see this as an extended service for you as a website visitor. Furthermore, a beautiful and functioning website also has economic advantages for us. After all, you will only visit us and take advantage of our offers if you feel completely comfortable.
What data are stored by web design tools?
When you visit our website, web design elements may be integrated into our pages, which can also process data. Exactly what data is involved, of course, depends heavily on the tools used. Below you can see exactly which tools we use for our website. We recommend that you read the respective data protection declaration of the tools used for more information about data processing. You will usually find out what data is being processed, whether cookies are being used and how long the data is being kept. Fonts such as Google Fonts also automatically transmit information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name to the Google servers.
Duration of data processing
How long data is processed is very individual and depends on the web design elements used. For example, if cookies are used, the retention period can last as little as a minute or as long as a few years. Please be smart about this. On the one hand, we recommend our general text section on cookies and the data protection declarations of the tools used. There you can usually find out exactly which cookies are used and what information is stored in them. For example, Google Font files are stored for one year. This is intended to improve the loading time of a website. In principle, data is only retained for as long as is necessary to provide the service. If required by law, data can also be stored for longer.
Right of rescission
You also have the right and the opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. You can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser. However, there is also data among web design elements (mostly fonts) that cannot be deleted so easily. This is the case when data is automatically collected directly when a page is accessed and transmitted to a third-party provider (such as Google). Then please contact the support of the relevant provider. In the case of Google, you can reach support at https://support.google.com/?hl=de.
Legal basis
If you have consented to the use of web design tools, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by web design tools. We also have a legitimate interest in web design to improve our website. After all, only then can we provide you with a beautiful and professional website. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only use web design tools if you have given your consent. We definitely want to emphasize this again here.Sendcloud Privacy Policy
Sendcloud is a shipping software for online stores that we use on our website. It is a German company based at Sendcloud GmbH, Fürstenrieder Str. 70, 80686 Munich, Germany. If you would like to find out more about the data processed by Sendcloud, you can read the following source: https://www.sendcloud.at/datenschutz/.
Google Fonts Lokal Privacy Policy
On our website we use Google Fonts from Google Inc. The company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for Europe. We have integrated the Google fonts locally, i.e. on our web server - not on Google's servers. This means there is no connection to Google servers and therefore no data transfer or storage.
What are Google Fonts?
Google Fonts used to be called Google Web Fonts. This is an interactive directory of over 800 fonts that Google provides for free. With Google Fonts you could use fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, in order to prevent any information transfer to Google servers, we have downloaded the fonts to our server. In this way, we act in accordance with data protection regulations and do not send any data to Google Fonts.
Explanation of terms used
We always strive to make our data protection declaration as clear and understandable as possible. However, this is not always easy, especially when it comes to technical and legal issues. It often makes sense to use legal terms (such as personal data) or certain technical terms (such as cookies, IP address). But we don't want to use them without explanation. Below you will find an alphabetical list of important terms used that we may not have addressed sufficiently in the previous data protection declaration. If these terms were taken from the GDPR and they are definitions, we will also cite the GDPR texts here and add our own explanations if necessary.
Online map services Introduction
| Online map services Privacy policy summary 👥 Affected parties: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Improving the user experience 📓 Processed data: Which data is processed depends heavily on the services used. It is usually IP address, location data, search items and/or technical data. You can find more details on this in the respective tools used. 📅 Storage duration: depending on the tools used ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests) |
What are online map services?
We also use online map services for our website as an extended service. Google Maps is probably the service you are most familiar with, but there are also other providers that specialise in creating digital maps. Such services make it possible to display locations, route plans or other geographical information directly via our website. With an integrated map service, you no longer have to leave our website to view the route to a location, for example. In order for the online map to work on our website, map sections are integrated using HTML code. The services can then display street maps, the earth's surface or aerial or satellite images. If you use the integrated map service, data is also transferred to the tool used and stored there. This data may also include personal data.
Why do we use online map services on our website?
Generally speaking, our aim is to offer you a pleasant time on our website. And your time is only enjoyable if you can easily find your way around our website and find all the information you need quickly and easily. That's why we thought that an online map system could significantly optimise our service on the website. Without leaving our website, you can use the map system to easily view route descriptions, locations or even places of interest. Of course, it is also very practical that you can see at a glance where we are based so that you can find us quickly and safely. As you can see, there are simply many advantages and we clearly regard online map services on our website as part of our customer service.
What data is stored by online map services?
When you open a page on our website that has a built-in online map function, personal data may be transmitted to the respective service and stored there. In most cases, this is your IP address, which can also be used to determine your approximate location. In addition to the IP address, data such as search terms entered and longitude and latitude coordinates are also stored. If you enter an address for route planning, for example, this data is also stored. The data is not stored by us, but on the servers of the integrated tools. You can imagine it like this: You are on our website, but when you interact with a map service, this interaction actually happens on their website. In order for the service to function properly, at least one cookie is usually set in your browser. Google Maps, for example, also uses cookies to record user behaviour in order to optimise its own service and display personalised advertising. You can find out more about cookies in our "Cookies" section.
How long and where is the data stored?
Each online map service processes different user data. If we have further information, we will inform you about the duration of data processing below in the relevant sections on the individual tools. In principle, personal data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the provision of the service. Google Maps, for example, stores certain data for a specified period of time, while you must delete other data yourself. With Mapbox, for example, the IP address is stored for 30 days and then deleted. As you can see, each tool stores data for different lengths of time. We therefore recommend that you take a close look at the privacy policies of the tools you use.
The providers also use cookies to store data on your user behaviour with the map service. You can find more general information on cookies in our "Cookies" section, but you can also find out which cookies may be used in the data protection texts of the individual providers. In most cases, however, this is only an exemplary list and is not complete.
Right of objection
You always have the possibility and also the right to access your personal data and also to object to its use and processing. You can also withdraw the consent you have given us at any time. As a rule, the easiest way to do this is via the cookie consent tool. However, there are also other opt-out tools that you can use. You can also manage, delete or deactivate any cookies set by the providers you use yourself with just a few mouse clicks. However, some functions of the service may then no longer work as usual. How you manage cookies in your browser also depends on the browser you are using. In the "Cookies" section, you will also find links to the instructions for the most important browsers.
Legal basis
If you have consented to the use of an online map service, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by an online map service.
We also have a legitimate interest in using an online map service to optimise our service on our website. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we only ever use an online map service if you have given your consent. We would like to emphasise this again at this point.
Information on special online map services - if available - can be found in the following sections.

What is OpenStreetMap?
We have integrated map sections from the online mapping tool "OpenStreetMap" on our website. This is a so-called open source mapping, which we can access via an API (interface). This function is offered by OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. By using this map function, your IP address will be forwarded to OpenStreetMap. This privacy policy explains why we use functions of the OpenStreetMap tool, where which data is stored and how you can prevent this data storage.
The OpenStreetMap project was launched in 2004. The aim of the project is and was to create a free map of the world. Users around the world collect data on buildings, forests, rivers and roads, for example. Over the years, an extensive digital world map has been created by users themselves. Of course, the map is not complete, but in most regions it contains a great deal of data.
Why do we use OpenStreetMap on our website?
First and foremost, our website should be helpful to you. And from our point of view, it is always helpful when you can find information quickly and easily. On the one hand, of course, it is about our services and products, but on the other hand it should also provide you with other helpful information. That's why we also use the OpenStreetMap map service. For example, we can show you exactly how to find our company. The map shows you the best route to us and your journey becomes child's play.
What data is stored by OpenStreetMap?
When you visit one of our websites that offers OpenStreetMap, user data is transmitted to the service and stored there. OpenStreetMap collects information about your interactions with the digital map, your IP address, data about your browser, device type, operating system and on which day and at what time you used the service. Tracking software is also used to record user interactions. The company specifies the "Piwik" analysis tool in its own privacy policy.
The data collected is subsequently accessible to the relevant working groups of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. According to the company, personal data is not passed on to other persons or companies unless this is legally necessary. The third-party provider Piwik does store your IP address, but in truncated form.

Erklärung verwendeter Begriffe
Supervisory authority
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation:"supervisory authority" means an independent public body established by a Member State in accordance with Article 51;
Explanation: "Supervisory authorities" are always governmental, independent bodies which are also authorised to issue instructions in certain cases. They serve to carry out so-called state supervision and are located in ministries, special departments or other authorities. For data protection in Austria there is an Austrian data protection authority, for Germany there is a separate data protection authority for each federal state.
Order processor
Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR
"processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;
Supervisory authority concerned
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term:
"supervisory authority concerned" means a supervisory authority which is concerned by the processing of personal data, because
a)
the controller or processor is established in the territory of the Member State of that supervisory authority,
b)
that processing has or is likely to have a significant impact on data subjects residing in the Member State of that supervisory authority; or
c)
a complaint has been filed with this supervisory authority;
Explanation: In Germany, each federal state has its own supervisory authority for data protection. So if your company headquarters (main office) is in Germany, the respective supervisory authority of the federal state is generally your contact. In Austria, there is only one supervisory authority for data protection for the entire country.
Biometric data
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
For the purposes of this Regulation, the term:
"biometric data" means personal data, obtained by means of specific technical procedures, relating to the physical, physiological or behavioural characteristics of a natural person, which enable or confirm the unique identification of that natural person, such as facial images or dactyloscopic data;
Explanation: These are biological characteristics that are described by biometric data and from which personal data can be obtained with the help of technical procedures. These include DNA, fingerprints, the geometry of various body parts, body size, but also handwriting or the sound of a voice.
Data System
Definition under Article 4 of the GDPR
"file system" means any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specified criteria, whether such collection is maintained in a centralised, decentralised or functional or geographical manner;
Explanation: Any organised storage of data on a data carrier of a computer is called a "file system". For example, if we store your name and email address on a server for our newsletter, then this data is located in a so-called "file system". The most important tasks of a "file system" include the fast searching and finding of specific data and, of course, the secure storage of the data.
Information Society Service
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
"information society service" means a service as defined in Article 1(1)(b) of Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council (19);
Explanation: Basically, the term "information society" refers to a society based on information and communication technologies. Especially as a website visitor, you are familiar with all kinds of online services and most online services belong to "information society services". A classic example is an online transaction, such as buying goods over the internet.
Third Party
"third party" means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor;
Explanation: The GDPR basically only explains here what a "third party" is not. In practice, a "third party" is anyone who also has an interest in the personal data but is not one of the persons, authorities or entities mentioned above. For example, a parent company may act as a "third party". In this case, the subsidiary group is the controller and the parent group is the "third party". However, this does not mean that the parent company is automatically allowed to view, collect or store the personal data of the subsidiary company.
Restriction of processing
"restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing;
Explanation: One of your rights is that you can ask processors to restrict your personal data for further processing at any time. This is done by marking specific personal data, such as your name, date of birth or address, so that it can no longer be processed in full. For example, you could restrict the processing so that your data can no longer be used for personalised advertising.
Consent
"consent" means any freely given specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to personal data relating to him or her being processed;
Explanation: As a rule, such consent is given on websites via a cookie consent tool. You are probably familiar with this. Whenever you visit a website for the first time, you are usually asked via a banner whether you agree or consent to data processing. In most cases, you can also make individual settings and thus decide for yourself which data processing you allow and which you do not. If you do not consent, no personal data of yours may be processed. In principle, consent can of course also be given in writing, i.e. not via a tool.
Receiver
"recipient" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients and the processing of such data by those authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules, in accordance with the purposes of the processing;
Explanation: Every person and every company that receives personal data is considered a recipient. Thus, we and our processors are also so-called recipients. Only authorities that have a mandate to investigate are not considered recipients.
Genetic data
"genetic data" means personal data relating to the inherited or acquired genetic characteristics of a natural person which provide unique information about the physiology or health of that natural person and which have been obtained, in particular, from the analysis of a biological sample from the natural person concerned;
Explanation: With a certain amount of effort, people can be identified via genetic data. That is why genetic data also belong to the category of personal data. Genetic data are obtained, for example, via blood or saliva samples.
Health data
"health data" means personal data relating to the physical or mental health of a natural person, including the provision of health services, revealing information about that person's state of health;
Explanation: Health data therefore includes all stored information concerning your own health. It is often data that is also recorded in a patient file. This includes, for example, which medicines you use, X-ray images, the entire medical history or, as a rule, the vaccination status.
Cross-border processing
"cross-border processing" either
a)
a processing of personal data carried out in the context of the activities of establishments of a controller or a processor in the Union in more than one Member State, where the controller or processor is established in more than one Member State, or
b)
a processing of personal data which is carried out in the course of the activities of a single establishment of a controller or processor in the Union but which has or is likely to have a significant impact on data subjects in more than one Member State;
Explanation: If, for example, a company or other organisation has branches in Spain and in Croatia and personal data are processed in connection with the activities of the branches, this is "cross-border processing" of personal data. Even if the data is only processed in one country (as in this example in Spain), but the effects for the data subject are also apparent in another country, this is also referred to as "cross-border processing".
Head office
„Head office“
a)
in the case of a controller with establishments in more than one Member State, the place of its main administration in the Union, unless the decisions regarding the purposes and means of the processing of personal data are taken in another establishment of the controller in the Union and that establishment has the power to have those decisions implemented, in which case the establishment taking such decisions shall be considered to be the main establishment;
b)
in the case of a processor with establishments in more than one Member State, the place of its head office in the Union or, where the processor does not have a head office in the Union, the establishment of the processor in the Union where the processing activities in the context of the activities of an establishment of a processor mainly take place, to the extent that the processor is subject to specific obligations under this Regulation;
Explanation: Google, for example, is an American company that also processes data in the USA, but its European headquarters are in Ireland (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland). Thus, Google Ireland Limited is legally a separate company and responsible for all Google products offered in the European Economic Area. In contrast to a main branch office, there are also branch offices, but these do not function as legally independent branches and are therefore also to be distinguished from subsidiaries. A principal place of business is therefore always the place where a company (trading company) has its centre of operations.
International organisation
"international organisation" means an organisation governed by international law and its subsidiary bodies or any other body established by or pursuant to an agreement concluded between two or more countries.
Explanation: The best-known examples of international organisations are probably the European Union or the United Nations. In the GDPR, a distinction is made between third countries and international organisations in connection with the transfer of data. Within the EU, the transfer of personal data is not a problem because all EU countries are bound by the provisions of the GDPR. However, the transfer of data with third countries or international organisations is subject to certain conditions.
Relevant and reasoned objection
"relevant and reasoned objection" means an objection to a draft decision as to whether there is a breach of this Regulation or whether intended measures against the controller or processor are in compliance with this Regulation, clearly indicating the scope of the risks posed by the draft decision in relation to the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects and, where applicable, the free flow of personal data within the Union;
Explanation: If certain measures taken by us as data controllers or by our processors are not in compliance with the GDPR, you can raise a so-called "relevant and reasoned objection". You must explain the extent of the risks to your fundamental rights and freedoms and possibly to the free flow of your personal data in the EU.
Personal data
"personal data' means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter 'data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
Explanation: Personal data is therefore all data that can identify you as a person. This is usually data such as:
- Name
- Address
- E-Mail-Address
- Postal address
- Telefone Number
- Birth Date
- Identification numbers such as national insurance number, tax identification number, identity card number or matriculation number
- Bank data such as account number, credit information, account balances, etc.
According to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), your IP address is also personal data. IT experts can use your IP address to at least determine the approximate location of your device and subsequently you as the connection owner. Therefore, the storage of an IP address also requires a legal basis within the meaning of the GDPR. There are also so-called "special categories" of personal data that also require special protection. These include:
- racial and ethnic origin
- political opinions
- Religious or ideological convictions
- the trade union affiliation
- Genetic data such as data taken from blood or saliva samples
- biometric data (this is information on mental, physical or behavioural characteristics that can identify a person).
Health data - Data on sexual orientation or sexual life
Profiling
"profiling" means any automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location;
Explanation: Profiling involves gathering various pieces of information about a person in order to learn more about that person. In the web sector, profiling is often used for advertising purposes or for credit checks. Web or advertising analysis programmes, for example, collect data about your behaviour and interests on a website. This results in a special user profile that can be used to target advertising to a specific group.
Pseudonymisation
"pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person;
Explanation: Our data protection statement often refers to pseudonymised data. With pseudonymised data, you can no longer be identified as a person, unless other information is added. However, you should not confuse pseudonymisation with anonymisation. Anonymisation removes any reference to a person, so that this can really only be reconstructed with a disproportionately large technical effort.
Company
"company" means a natural and legal person engaged in an economic activity, regardless of its legal form, including partnerships or associations regularly engaged in an economic activity;
Explanation: For example, we are a company and also carry out an economic activity via our website by offering and selling services and/or products. For every company, there is the formal characteristic of the legal entity, such as the GmbH or the AG.
Group of companies
"group of companies" a group consisting of a controlling company and the companies dependent on it;
Explanation: One thus speaks of a "group of companies" when several companies unite and are legally and financially connected to each other, but there is nevertheless a central, overarching company. For example, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus VR or Facebook are largely independent companies, but they are all subject to the parent company Meta Platforms, Inc.
Responsible
"responsible' means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law;
Explanation: In our case, we are responsible for the processing of your personal data and consequently the "controller". If we pass on collected data to other service providers for processing, they are "processors". This requires the signing of a "Contractual Processing Agreement (CPA)".
Processing
"processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
Explanation: When we talk about processing in our privacy statement, we mean any kind of data processing. This includes, as mentioned above in the original GDPR declaration, not only the collection but also the storage and processing of data.
Binding internal data protection regulations
"binding internal data protection rules' means measures for the protection of personal data with which a controller or processor established in the territory of a Member State undertakes to comply in respect of data transfers or a set of data transfers of personal data to a controller or processor of the same group of undertakings or the same group of undertakings engaged in a joint economic activity in one or more third countries;
Explanation: You may have heard or read the term "Binding Corporate Rules" more than once. Because this is the term that mostly appears when it comes to binding internal data protection rules. Especially for companies (such as Google) that process data in third countries, it is advisable to have such an internal regulation, by which a company commits itself, so to speak, to comply with data protection regulations. This regulation governs the handling of personal data that is transferred to and processed in third countries.
Violation of the protection of personal data
"personal data breach" means a breach of security leading, whether accidentally or unlawfully, to the destruction, loss, alteration of, or unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed;
Explanation: For example, a "personal data breach" may occur in the event of a data leak, i.e. a technical problem or a cyber-attack. If the breach leads to a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller must immediately report the incident to the competent supervisory authority. In addition, data subjects must also be informed if the breach poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Representative
Definition according to Article 4 of the GDPR
"representative' means a natural or legal person established in the Union who has been appointed in writing by the controller or processor in accordance with Article 27 and represents the controller or processor in relation to their respective obligations under this Regulation;
Explanation: A "representative" can therefore be any person appointed in writing by us (controller) or one of our service providers (processor). Companies outside the EU that process data of EU citizens must specify a representative within the EU. For example, if a web analytics provider has its main office in the US, it must appoint a "representative" within the European Union to represent the data processing obligations.
Conclusion
Congratulations! If you are reading these lines, you have really "fought" your way through our entire data protection statement, or at least scrolled this far. As you can see from the scope of our data protection declaration, we take the protection of your personal data anything but lightly. It is important to us to inform you to the best of our knowledge and belief about the processing of personal data. In doing so, we not only want to tell you what data is processed, but also explain the reasons for the use of various software programmes. As a rule, data protection statements sound very technical and legalistic. However, since most of you are not web developers or lawyers, we also wanted to take a different linguistic approach and explain the facts in simple and clear language. Of course, this is not always possible due to the subject matter. Therefore, the most important terms are explained in more detail at the end of the privacy policy. If you have any questions about data protection on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us or the responsible office. We wish you a pleasant time and hope to welcome you back to our website soon.
