Data protection

I have written this data protection declaration (version 03.02.2021-211140952) to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, which information I collect, how I use data and which decision-making options you as a visitor to this website can make to have.
Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but I have tried to make the most important things as simple and clear as possible.

Rights according to the General Data Protection Regulation

According to the provisions of the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) , you have the following rights:

• Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)

• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Article 17 GDPR)

• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)

• Right to notification - obligation to notify in connection with the correction or deletion of personal data or the restriction of processing (Article 19 GDPR)

• Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)

• Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)

• Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling (Article 22 GDPR)

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority, which is the data protection authority in Austria whose website you can find at https: // www. Find dsb.gv.at/ .

Newsletter data protection declaration

If you subscribe to my newsletter, you transmit the above personal data and give me the right to contact you by email. I only use the data stored when registering for the newsletter for my newsletter and do not pass it on.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter - a simple email to me is sufficient - then I will delete all data that was saved with the registration for the newsletter.

Automatic data storage

When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website.
If you visit my website as you are now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as

• the address (URL) of the website called up
• Browser and browser version
• the operating system used
• the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
• the host name and the IP address of the device from which access is made
• Date and Time

in files (web server log files).
As a rule, web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. I will not pass on this data, but I cannot rule out that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal behavior.

Cookies

Declaration by the company WIX.com, which created the editor with which this website was created:

Our website uses HTTP cookies to save user-specific data.
In the following we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration.
What exactly are cookies?
Whenever you surf the Internet, you are using a browser. Well-known browsers are, for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites save small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.
One thing cannot be dismissed out of hand: 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 areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, which is 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 save certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you call up our site again, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings 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.
There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly from our side, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must 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 programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies cannot access information on your PC either.
For example, cookie data can look like this:
Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152211140952-6
Purpose: 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 types of cookies are there?
The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the data protection declaration. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.
There are 4 types of cookies:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and only goes to checkout later. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes his browser window.
Appropriate cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are used to measure the loading time and the behavior of the website in different browsers.
Goal-oriented cookies
These cookies ensure better user-friendliness. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.
Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to deliver customized advertising to the user. That can be very practical, but also very annoying.
When you visit a website for the first time, you will usually be asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow. And of course this decision is also saved in a cookie.
How can I delete cookies?
You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option of deleting, deactivating or only partially accepting cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.
If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:
Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome
Safari: manage cookies and website data with Safari
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer
Internet Explorer: deleting and managing cookies
Microsoft Edge: Deleting and managing 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 or not to allow the cookie. The procedure is different 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.
What about my data protection?
The so-called “cookie guidelines” have existed since 2009. It states that the storage of cookies requires your consent. Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different reactions to these guidelines. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 (3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG).

If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, I recommend https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265 , the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called "HTTP State Management Mechanism".

Storage of personal data

Personal data that you transmit to me electronically on this website, such as name, e-mail address, address or other personal information in the context of submitting a form or comments in the blog, will be stored by me together with the time and the IP Address is only used for the specified purpose, stored securely and not passed on to third parties.
I therefore only use your personal data for communication with those visitors who expressly request contact and for processing the services and products offered on this website. I will not pass on your personal data without your consent, but I cannot rule out that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal behavior.
If you send me personal data by email - outside of this website - I cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. I recommend that you never send confidential data unencrypted by email.

Evaluation of visitor behavior

In the following data protection declaration I inform you whether and how I evaluate data from your visit to this website. The evaluation of the collected data is usually anonymous and I cannot infer your person from your behavior on this website.

I integrate elements of social media services on my website to display pictures, videos and texts.
When you visit pages that display these elements, data is transferred from your browser to the respective social media service and stored there. I do not have access to this data.
The following links take you to the pages of the respective social media services where it is explained how they handle your data:

• Instagram privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
• Facebook data guideline: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

Facebook privacy policy

I use selected tools from Facebook on my website. Facebook is a social media network operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2 Ireland. With the help of these tools, I can offer you and people who are interested in my products and services the best possible offer. In the following I give an overview of the various Facebook tools, which data is sent to Facebook and how you can delete this data.

What are Facebook tools?
In addition to many other products, Facebook also offers the so-called “Facebook Business Tools”. This is the official name of Facebook. But since the term is hardly known, I decided to just call them Facebook tools. These include:

• Facebook pixels
• Social plug-ins (such as the "Like" or "Share" button)
• Facebook login
• Account Kit
• APIs (programming interface)
• SDKs (collection of programming tools)
• Platform integrations
• plugins
• Codes
• Specifications
• Documentation
• Technologies and services

These tools enable Facebook to expand its services and to obtain information about user activities outside of Facebook.
Why do I use Facebook tools on my website?
I only want to show my services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook ads) I can reach exactly these people. However, in order to be able to show the users appropriate advertising, Facebook needs information about the wishes and needs of the people. Information about user behavior (and contact details) is made available to the company on the website. As a result, Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the right advertising about my products or services. The tools thus enable tailor-made advertising campaigns on Facebook.
Facebook calls data about your behavior on my website “event data”. These are also used for measurement and analysis services. In this way, Facebook can create “campaign reports” on my behalf about the impact of my advertising campaigns. Furthermore, through analyzes, I get a better insight into how you use the services, website or products. In doing so, I use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on my page directly on Facebook.

Which data are saved by Facebook tools?

By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) can be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number and IP address can be sent.
Facebook uses this information to compare the data with the data it has about you (if you are a Facebook member). So-called "hashing" takes place before customer data is transmitted to Facebook. This means that a data record of any size can be transformed into a character string. This is also used to encrypt data.
In addition to the contact details, "event data" are also transmitted. "Event data" means the information that I receive about you on my website. For example, which sub-pages you visit. Facebook does not share the information it receives with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally obliged to do so. "Event data" can also be linked to contact details. This enables Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the already mentioned comparison process, Facebook will delete the contact details again.
In order to be able to deliver advertisements in an optimized way, Facebook only uses the event data if this has been combined with other data (which were recorded by Facebook in a different way). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development and research purposes. Much of this data is transferred to Facebook via cookies.

How long and where will the data be stored?

In principle, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own services and Facebook products. Facebook has servers all over the world where its data is stored. However, customer data will be deleted within 48 hours after it has been compared with your own user data.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, correction, portability and deletion of your data.
The data will only be completely deleted if you completely delete your Facebook account. And this is how deleting your Facebook account works:

1) On the right side of Facebook, click Settings.
2) Then click on "Your Facebook information" in the left column.
3) Now click "Deactivate and delete".
4) Now select "Delete account" and then click on "Next and delete account"
5) Now enter your password, click on "Next" and then on "Delete account"

In order to prevent Facebook from collecting a lot of data during your visit to our website and connecting it to the Facebook data, you must log out of Facebook while visiting the website.
If you are not logged in to Facebook or do not have a Facebook account, your browser sends less information to Facebook because you have fewer Facebook cookies. Nevertheless, data such as your IP address or which website you visit can be transmitted to Facebook. I would like to expressly point out that I do not know the exact content of the data. You can also read how Facebook uses the data in the company's data policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update.
The following cookies are set in your browser at least when you visit a website with social plug-ins from Facebook:

Name: dpr
Value: not specified
Purpose: This cookie is used so that the social plug-ins work on my website.
Expiration date: after the session ends
Name: fr
Value: 0jieyh4211140952c2GnlufEJ9..Bde09j… 1.0.Bde09j
Purpose: The cookie is also necessary for the plug-ins to function properly.
Expiry date: after 3 months
Note: These cookies were set after a test, even if you are not a Facebook member.
If you are logged in to Facebook, you can change your settings for advertisements yourself at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. If you are not a Facebook user, you can basically manage your usage-based online advertising at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/. There you have the option of deactivating or activating providers.

Instagram privacy policy

I have installed functions from Instagram on my website. Instagram is a social media platform operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Instagram has been a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. since 2012 and is a Facebook product. Embedding Instagram content on my website is called embedding. This allows you to show content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram directly on my website. When you visit websites on my website that have an Instagram function integrated, data is transmitted to Instagram, stored and processed. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Your data will thus be processed across all Facebook companies.

How long and where will the data be stored?

Instagram shares the information received between the Facebook companies with external partners and with people with whom you connect worldwide. The data processing takes place in compliance with our own data guidelines. For security reasons, among other things, your data is distributed on Facebook servers around the world. Most of these servers are in the USA.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

Thanks to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, portability, correction and deletion of your data. You can manage your data in the Instagram settings. If you want to completely erase your data on Instagram, you have to delete your Instagram account permanently.

And this is how the deletion of the Instagram account works:

First, open the Instagram app. On your profile page, go down and click on "Help Center". You are now on the company's website. On the website, click on "Manage Your Account" and then on "Delete Your Account".
If you delete your account entirely, Instagram will delete posts such as your photos and status updates. Information that other people have shared about you does not belong to your account and therefore will not be deleted.
As already mentioned above, Instagram stores your data primarily via cookies. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies in your browser. Management always works a little differently depending on your browser. Here we show you the instructions for the most important browsers.
Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome
Safari: manage cookies and website data with Safari
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer
Internet Explorer: deleting and managing cookies
Microsoft Edge: Deleting and managing cookies
You can also set up your browser so that you are always informed when a cookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want to allow the cookie or not.
Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. and Facebook is an active participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. This framework ensures correct data transfer between the USA and the European Union. You can find out more about this at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC. We have tried to give you the most important information about data processing by Instagram. On https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
you can take a closer look at Instagram's data guidelines.
