Statement in accordance with the information obligations under the GDPR

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, Austrian Telecommunications Act TKG 2003). In this privacy information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in the context of our website.

Contacting us
If you contact us via the form on the website or by email, the data you provide will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Data storage in the online shop
Please note that, for the purpose of simplifying the purchasing process and for subsequent contract processing, we store the IP data of the connection owner by means of cookies, as well as the name and address of the buyer.
The data you provide is required to fulfil the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot conclude the contract with you. No data is transferred to third parties, with the exception of transfer to the transport/shipping company commissioned by us for the delivery of the goods and to our tax adviser for the fulfilment of our tax obligations.
If the purchasing process is cancelled, the data stored by us will be deleted. If a contract is concluded, all data from the
contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period for tax purposes (7 years).
In addition, the data name, address, goods purchased and date of purchase will be stored until the expiry of product liability (10 years).
Data processing is carried out on the basis of the statutory provisions of § 96 (3) TKG and Art. 6 (1) (a) (consent) and/or (b) (necessary for the performance of a contract) GDPR.

Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device with the help of your browser. They do no harm.
We use cookies to make our website user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them.
They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases.
Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Web analytics
Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics by Google Inc., USA. For this purpose, cookies are used which enable an analysis of how users use the website. The information generated in this way about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored.
We have concluded a corresponding data processing agreement with the provider.
Your IP address is recorded but immediately pseudonymised by deleting the last 8 bits. This means that only an approximate localisation is possible. The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission ("Privacy Shield").
Data processing is carried out on the basis of the statutory provisions of § 96 (3) TKG and Art. 6 (1) (a) (consent) and/or (f) (legitimate interest) GDPR.
Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offering and our website. As the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymised.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
