Privacy Policy

Data Protection

We have written this Privacy Policy (version 07.09.2020-221132973) to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, what information we collect, how we use data, and what choices you have as a visitor to this website.

Unfortunately, these explanations may sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important aspects as simply and clearly as possible.

Automatic Data Storage

When you visit websites nowadays, certain information is automatically created and stored, as is the case on this website.

When you visit our website as you are now, our web server (the computer hosting this website) automatically stores data such as:

• the address (URL) of the website you visited
• browser and browser version
• the operating system used
• the address (URL) of the previously visited page (Referrer URL)
• the hostname and IP address of the device from which access is made
• date and time

in files (web server log files).

In general, web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but we cannot rule out that it may be reviewed if illegal behavior occurs.

Cookies

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
Below we explain what cookies are and why they are used, so you can better understand this privacy policy.

What exactly are cookies?

Whenever you browse the internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing is clear: cookies are really useful helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. Specifically, they are HTTP cookies, as there are other types of cookies for different applications. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, essentially 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 store certain user data, such as language or personal page settings. When you return to our site, your browser sends the “user-related” information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are familiar with. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file, while in others like 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 by our site, while third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Each cookie is evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie ranges from a few minutes to several years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans, or other “pests.” Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.

For example, cookie data may look like this:

Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152221132973-6
Purpose: Distinguishing between website visitors
Expiration Date: after 2 years

The following minimum sizes should be supported by a browser:

• 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 specifically use depends on the services used and will be clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

Four types of cookies can be distinguished:

Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user adds a product to the shopping cart, navigates to other pages, and then proceeds to checkout. These cookies prevent the cart from being emptied, even if the user closes the browser window.

Functional Cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. They also measure the load time and behaviour of the website on different browsers.

Targeted Cookies
These cookies ensure better user-friendliness. For example, entered locations, font sizes, or form data are stored.

Advertising Cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They are used to deliver personalised advertising to the user. This can be very practical, but also quite annoying.

Usually, when you first visit a website, you are asked which of these cookie types you would like to allow. And of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.

How Can I Delete Cookies?

You have the choice of whether or not to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option to delete, disable, or only partially allow cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you want to find out which cookies are stored in your browser or if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can do 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 websites have stored on your computer

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set your browser to always inform you when a cookie is to be set. This allows you to decide whether or not to allow each individual cookie. The process varies by browser. It is best to search for the instructions on Google using the search term “Delete cookies Chrome” or “Disable cookies Chrome” if you are using the Chrome browser.

How Does My Data Protection Work?

Since 2009, there have been the so-called “Cookie Regulations”. These regulations state that storing cookies requires your consent. However, within the EU countries, there are still varying reactions to these regulations. In Austria, the implementation of this regulation was made in Section 96 (3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG).

If you want to learn more about cookies and do not shy away from technical documentation, we recommend https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265, the Request for Comments by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) entitled “HTTP State Management Mechanism”.

Storage of Personal Data

Personal data that you electronically submit to us on this website, such as name, email address, address, or other personal details in the context of submitting a form or comments in the blog, will be used by us only for the stated purpose, securely stored, and not shared with third parties.

We use your personal data only for communication with those visitors who explicitly request contact and for processing the services and products offered on this website. We do not share your personal data without consent, but we cannot rule out that these data may be accessed in cases of illegal behavior.

If you send us personal data by email—outside this website—we cannot guarantee the secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend never sending confidential data by email unencrypted.

Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

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

• Right to Rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
• Right to Deletion (“Right to be Forgotten”) (Article 17 GDPR)
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18 GDPR)
• Right to Notification – Obligation to notify regarding rectification or deletion of personal data or 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 rights have been violated in any other way, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB).

For any questions regarding your data, you can contact us at any time at the following email address: privacy@example.com.

Safari: Managing cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Deleting 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 your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is to be set. This way, you can decide whether to allow each individual cookie or not.

Google is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which governs the correct and secure transfer of personal data. More information can be found at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI. If you would like to know more about Google’s data processing, we recommend reading the company’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Fonts Privacy Policy

On our website, we use Google Fonts. These are the “Google Fonts” from Google Inc. For the European region, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.

To use Google Fonts, you do not need to sign in or provide a password. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts) are requested from the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you need not worry about your Google account data being transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. Google collects usage data for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will take a closer look at how the data storage works in detail.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory of over 800 fonts that Google provides to its users free of charge.

Many of these fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License, while others are published under the Apache License. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?

With Google Fonts, we can use fonts on our website without having to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component for maintaining the quality of our website. All Google fonts are automatically optimised for the web, which saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially for mobile devices. When you visit our site, the small file size ensures fast loading times. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in various browsers, operating systems, and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can visually distort text or entire websites. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform issues with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all major browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We use Google Fonts so we can present our entire online service as beautifully and uniformly as possible.

What data is stored by Google?

When you visit our website, the fonts are loaded from a Google server. This external request transmits data to the Google servers, allowing Google to recognise that you (or your IP address) have visited our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the use, storage, and collection of end-user data to what is necessary for the proper delivery of fonts. API stands for “Application Programming Interface” and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software domain.

Google Fonts securely stores CSS and font requests at Google. Through the collected usage statistics, Google can determine how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages, such as Google Analytics. Additionally, Google uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google Fonts. This data is published in Google’s BigQuery database. Businesses and developers use Google’s BigQuery web service to analyse and move large amounts of data.

However, it is worth noting that with each Google Fonts request, information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, screen resolution, and browser name are automatically transmitted to Google servers. Whether this data is also stored is not clearly determined or explicitly communicated by Google.

How long and where is the data stored?

CSS asset requests are stored by Google for one day on its servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This allows us to use the fonts via a Google stylesheet. A stylesheet is a template that allows you to quickly and easily change, for example, the design or font of a website.

The font files are stored by Google for one year. Google does this to improve the loading times of websites. When millions of websites reference the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and appear immediately on all other later visited websites. Sometimes Google updates font files to reduce the file size, increase language coverage, and improve design.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

The data that Google stores for one day or one year cannot be simply deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when you visit the site. To delete this data prematurely, you would need to contact Google support at https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=221132973. You can only prevent data storage by not visiting our site.

Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all fonts. We can access an unlimited array of fonts and thus achieve the best possible design for our website. You can find more about Google Fonts and additional questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=221132973. There, Google addresses privacy-related issues, but really detailed information about data storage is not provided. It is relatively difficult to get precise information from Google regarding stored data.

You can also read about what data is generally collected by Google and how this data is used at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Fonts Local Privacy Policy

On our website, we use Google Fonts from Google Inc. For the European region, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible. We have integrated the Google Fonts locally, i.e., on our web server – not on Google’s servers. This eliminates the connection to Google servers, and thus no data is transmitted or stored.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts was previously called Google Web Fonts. It is an interactive directory with over 800 fonts that Google provides for free. With Google Fonts, you could use fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, to prevent any data transmission to Google servers, we have downloaded the fonts to our server. In this way, we comply with data protection regulations and do not send any data to Google Fonts.

Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all fonts. This means we can access an unlimited array of fonts and choose the best one for our website. More information about Google Fonts and other related questions can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=221132973.

Google Analytics Privacy Statement

We use the Google Analytics (GA) tracking tool from the American company Google Inc. on our website. For the European region, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, if you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. With the reports we receive from Google Analytics, we can better tailor our website and services to your needs. Below, we provide more details about the tracking tool and inform you mainly about which data is stored and how you can prevent this.

What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is a tracking tool used for analyzing traffic on our website. In order for Google Analytics to work, a tracking code is embedded in the code of our website. When you visit our website, this code records various actions you take on our site. Once you leave our site, this data is sent to the Google Analytics servers and stored there.

Google processes the data and we receive reports about your user behavior. These reports may include, among others, the following:

• Audience Reports: Through audience reports, we get to know our users better and know more precisely who is interested in our service.
• Advertising Reports: Advertising reports allow us to analyze and improve our online advertising more easily.
• Acquisition Reports: Acquisition reports provide us with helpful information about how we can attract more people to our service.
• Behavior Reports: Here, we learn how you interact with our website. We can trace the path you take on our site and which links you click.
• Conversion Reports: A conversion refers to an action you take due to a marketing message, such as turning from a simple website visitor into a buyer or newsletter subscriber. These reports help us understand how our marketing efforts are received and aim to increase our conversion rate.
• Real-Time Reports: Here, we can instantly see what is happening on our website. For example, we can see how many users are currently reading this text.

Why do we use Google Analytics on our website?

Our goal with this website is clear: we want to provide you with the best possible service. The statistics and data from Google Analytics help us achieve this goal.

The statistical data gives us a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of our website. On the one hand, we can optimize our site so that it is more easily found by interested people on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us better understand you as a visitor. This allows us to know exactly what we need to improve on our website to offer you the best service. The data also helps us carry out our advertising and marketing measures more individually and cost-effectively. After all, it makes sense to show our products and services to people who are actually interested in them.

What data does Google Analytics store?

Google Analytics creates a random, unique ID using a tracking code, which is associated with your browser cookie. This allows Google Analytics to identify you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you are recognized as a “returning” user. All collected data is stored along with this user ID. This enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles.

Through tags like cookies and app instance IDs, your interactions on our website are measured. Interactions are all kinds of actions you take on our site. If you also use other Google systems (e.g., a Google account), data generated via Google Analytics may be linked with third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless we, as website operators, approve it. Exceptions may occur if it is legally required.
