General notice and obligatory information
Data protection
The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and according to the statutory data protection regulations and this data privacy statement.
If you use this website, we will collect various personal data. Personal data are data by which you can be personally identified. This data privacy statement explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for which purpose this is performed.
We would like to point out that data transmission in the Internet (e.g. when communicating per email) may be subject to security gaps. Seamless security to protect data from access by third parties is not possible.
Revoking your consent to data processing
Many data processing activities are only possible subject to your explicit consent. You can of course revoke a consent you have already given at any time. It suffices if you send us an informal message to this effect via email. The legality of the data processing up to the date of revocation shall remain unaffected by it.
Right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority
The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority in the case of data protection breaches. The supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Commissioner for Data Protection in the state in which our company has its registered office.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the data about you, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or fulfilment of a contract in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format, or have them transmitted to a third party. However, insofar as you request direct transmission of the data to another controller, this shall only be carried out if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption in the interest of security and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or contact requests, which you send to us as website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection of this nature by the address line of the browser, which changes from “http://” to “https://” and also by the padlock icon in your browser bar.
Third parties are unable to access data transmitted to us if SSL or TLS encryption is activated.
Information, blocking, erasure
Within the context of the relevant statutory provisions, you have a right to free access to information about your personal data stored by us, its source, recipients, the purpose of data processing and if necessary, a right to rectification, restriction or erasure of these data. You are welcome to contact us at the address specified in the site notice about this, and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Objection to advertising mails
Use of the contact details published in the site notice to send unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby expressly contradicted. The website operator expressly reserves the right to take legal steps in case of unsolicited advertising sent in the form of spam mail, for instance.

Processing of the data you enter in the contact form is therefore performed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by simply sending us an informal message to this effect via email. The legality of the data processing up to the date of revocation shall remain unaffected by it.
We will store the data you entered in the contact form until you request erasure, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for which data were stored is no longer necessary (e.g. once we have finished dealing with your request). Compulsory statutory provisions – and retention periods in particular – remain unaffected by this.
