PRIVACY POLICY:
This Privacy Policy has been prepared to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, what information we collect, how we use that data, and what choices you have as a visitor to this website.
Unfortunately, it’s only natural that these explanations sound very technical, but we’ve made an effort to describe the most important points as simply and clearly as possible.
Automatic Data Storage
When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically generated and stored—and that is also the case on this website.
When you visit our website, as you are doing right now, our web server (the computer on which this website is hosted) automatically stores data such as your device’s IP address, the addresses of the subpages you visit, details about your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.), and the date and time. We do not use this data and generally do not share it with third parties; however, we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.
Storage of Personal Data
Contact Form
Personal data that you submit to us electronically via this website—such as your name, email address, mailing address, or other personal information provided when submitting a form or posting a comment on the blog—will be used by us, along with the time and IP address, solely for the purpose specified in each case, securely stored, and not disclosed to third parties.
We therefore use your personal data only to communicate with visitors who have expressly requested contact and to process the services and products offered on this website. We do not disclose your personal data without your consent; however, we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.
If you send us personal data via email—that is, outside of this website—we cannot guarantee the security of the transmission or the protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data via email without encrypting it.
Your Rights
You generally have the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, withdrawal, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you may file a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/ finden.
TLS Encryption with HTTPS
We use HTTPS to transmit data over the Internet in a way that prevents eavesdropping. By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize that this data transmission security measure is in use by the small padlock icon in the upper-left corner of your browser and by the use of the HTTPS scheme as part of our web address.
Cookies
Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
A cookie is a small data packet exchanged between a web browser and a web server; it has no meaning for the browser itself but only becomes meaningful for the web application—such as an online store—for example, to store the contents of a virtual shopping cart.
There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies are created by our website, while third-party cookies are created by other websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Cookies are divided into three categories: strictly necessary cookies, which ensure the website’s basic functionality; functional cookies, which ensure the website’s performance; and targeted cookies, which improve the user experience.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
If you do not wish this to happen, you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow them only on a case-by-case basis.
You can delete cookies that are already on your computer or disable cookies at any time. The procedure varies depending on your browser; it’s best to search for instructions on Google using the search terms “delete cookies chrome” or “disable cookies chrome” if you’re using the Chrome browser, or replace the word “chrome” with the name of your browser, such as Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
If you do not allow us to use cookies in general—that is, if you disable them in your browser settings—some features and pages may not function as expected.
Statistic Tool
Was ist WP Statistics?
We use the WP Statistics analytics plugin on our website. This plugin was developed by Veronalabs (5460 W Main St, Verona, NY 13478, United States), an American software company.

This plugin is an analytics tool designed specifically for websites that use the WordPress content management system.

You have the right at any time to access, correct, or delete your personal data, as well as to restrict its processing. You may also withdraw your consent to the processing of your data at any time.

In addition to consent, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing the behavior of website visitors in order to improve our services both technically and economically.

In addition, U.S. government agencies may access certain data, if applicable. It is also possible that this data may be linked to data from other WP Statistics services for which you have a user account.
We have now provided you with the most important information regarding data processing by WP Analytics.
