9. Online & Affiliate Marketing

We have some accounts on social networks to connect and communicate with our customers, interested parties, and active users, and to inform them about our services. Please note that when you access these networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing policies of their respective operators will apply.

Social Networks are included on our website only as a link to the relevant services. After clicking the integrated graphics you will be redirected to the website of the respective provider, and only then will the user information be sent to the appropriate provider. If you are logged into a social network, this provider can assign the visit to your account. If you don't want this, we recommend you log out of your account beforehand. If you are not a member of a social network, there is the possibility that the provider may still discover and store your IP address. If you do not want this to happen, you should not click the buttons. If you do not click on the graphic, there is no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons.

We use following Social Media Platforms:

1. Facebook Inc. (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland) http://www.facebook.com/policy.php;

2. Instagram (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland) – data privacy statement/ Opt-Out: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875#

3. Pinterest (Pinterest Inc., San Francisco, 505 Brannan St, United States) https://policy.pinterest.com/de/ privacy-policy

We refrain from using any social network plugins on our website as they automatically transmit a significant amount of user data to the respective social network operators. Such automatic data transmission to social network operators is deemed illegal and can be subject to legal action, as per the data protection authorities and courts. Thus, we do not engage in such data transmission on our website without the explicit consent of the user.

We collect data when you provide it to us, such as when you fill out a contact form or subscribe to a newsletter or you make it available to us by yourself, for example if you contact us directly via a communication channel. We also collect data automatically through our IT systems when you visit the website. This includes technical data such as your browser and operating system when you access the website.

When you visit our website, we may use cookies and analytics to analyze your surfing behavior. This analysis is usually anonymous, and we cannot identify you from this data. You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Third-Party tools that are used on the website are listed below.

6.1 Cookies

We use cookies. They are small text files that are stored on your device by websites you visit. They are used to make your experience on the website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain any viruses.

The majority of cookies that we use on our website are known as “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted from your device after you have finished browsing. Other cookies may remain stored on your device until you delete them or they are automatically deleted. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you return to our website.

You can adjust your browser settings to be notified when cookies are being used, so that you can decide whether to accept or reject them on a case-by-case basis. You can also configure your browser to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions, always reject them, or automatically delete them when you close your browser. Please note that disabling cookies may impact the functionality of our website.

Certain cookies are necessary to enable electronic communications or provide specific functionalities you request, such as the shopping cart. These cookies are stored in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1, letter f of the DSGVO, as the website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the website functions optimally and without technical errors. If other types of cookies, such as those used to analyze your browsing behavior, are also stored, they will be addressed separately in the privacy policy.

• Time of the page call

• Name and version of your web browser,

• The operating system of your device,

We process your information for technical and administrative purposes to establish a connection and to ensure the safety and functionality of our website. This includes tracking any illegal attacks on our website, if necessary. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

6.3 Google Analytics

This website uses the Third-Party tool Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. We use Google Analytics to better understand how our website is used, and to improve its design and functionality. To achieve this, we may collect your personal data, including cookies and IP addresses, through Google Analytics. This information is processed and collected with your consent, and it provides us with valuable insights for optimizing our website and marketing campaigns. Please note that Google Analytics will transfer this data to the United States and store it for up to 6 months. For more information about Google's data transfer policies, please refer to their website.

You have the right to exercise certain control over your personal data, such as the right to request deletion or access to a copy of your data. We take full responsibility for the processing of your data and are available to address any questions or requests you may have regarding your data.

IP anonymization

We have enabled the IP anonymization function on our website. This means that Google will shorten your IP address within the European Union or other countries that are part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the United States. In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. However, your IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

Plugin to prevent Google from collecting your data

To avoid the collection of your data, you can configure your browser to not save any cookies. Additionally, you can install a browser plugin available at the following link to prevent Google from collecting data generated by cookies related to your use of our website and processing it: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/ gaoptout?hl=de However, please be aware that doing so may limit your access to certain features of this website. For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy policy: https:// support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Outsourced data processing

We have outsourced our data processing to Google and have signed an agreement to ensure that we fully comply with the strict requirements of Austrian data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic data collection

We use Google Analytics' demographic features on this website, which allow us to generate reports on the age, gender, and interests of our site visitors based on interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data is not personally identifiable. However, if you do not wish to participate in this data collection, you can disable this feature by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or by following the instructions in the "Refusal of data collection" section.

6.4 Contact form

If you contact us via the contact form and provide us with personal information such as your contact details, we will collect this information to answer your questions and any follow-up questions. We will not share this information with anyone without your explicit permission. We will only process your data with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an informal email. However, any data processed prior to your withdrawal may still be processed legally. We will keep the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, for example, if we have fulfilled your request. This provision does not affect any mandatory statutory provisions, particularly those regarding mandatory data retention periods.

6. How do we collect your data?

Please note that we retain the information we collect as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We can correct, supplement or delete incorrect or incomplete data at any time at our own discretion. We will delete your data once it is no longer necessary to fulfill our legal and contractual obligations except where there are legal retention periods that require us to retain the data.

5. How long do we retain your data?

Mainly no data is passed on. All Plugins (like Google Analytics) that use your data automatically are listed below. Personal data protection standards differ between countries inside and outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). We also use service providers located outside the EU/EEA, like Google Analytics to process your data. However, it is important to note that there is currently no EU Commission resolution that confirms the adequacy of data protection in these third countries. To ensure that your data is processed with the same level of security as it would be within the EU/EEA, we have taken special measures. We sign data protection clauses with service providers in third countries provided by the EU Commission. These clauses offer guarantees for the protection of your data with service providers in third countries.

4. To whom is you data passed on?

We take the processing of your personal data seriously and adhere to the regulations set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Federal Data Protection Law, and other applicable laws. If you have given us your consent (as stated in Art. 6. Sec. 1 a GDPR), we process your personal data based on this consent. This includes the collection, processing, and transfer of certain personal data. We ensure that all processing of your personal data is carried out in compliance with these laws and regulations. We collect data to ensure the proper functioning of the website, prevent and detect attacks, and analyze how visitors use the website for market researches and marketing purposes. We may also use your data to respond to feedback or send newsletters.

We only collect, process, and use personal data that is necessary for the establishment or modification of legal relationships between you and us. This data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
