2. General information on data processing

The protection of your personal data is of great importance to us. We process your personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the provisions of the Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021) relevant to electronic communications.

In this privacy policy, we inform you about the personal data we process in connection with our website, the purposes for which this is done, the legal basis on which the processing is carried out, how long data is stored, and the rights you have as a data subject.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include, for example, a name, email address, telephone number, IP address or information about the use of our website.

3. Automatically collected data

When you visit our website, our hosting provider processes technical access data and records it in server log files. In particular, the following personal or technical data may be processed:

• IP address of the accessing device,
• Date and time of access,
• URL or file accessed,
• Referrer URL, if provided by the browser,
• Browser type and browser version,
• The operating system and other technical characteristics of the accessing device, as well as
• other technical information, insofar as this is necessary for the provision, security and functionality of the website.

This data is processed for the purposes of ensuring the technical operation, stability and security of our website, detecting, preventing and defending against unauthorised or unlawful access, maintaining system security, and analysing and rectifying technical faults.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the secure, stable and functional provision of our website, as well as in protecting our IT systems against unauthorised access, tampering and attacks.

The server log files are stored only for as long as is necessary for the aforementioned purposes. The specific retention period depends on the technical and organisational requirements of the hosting service, as well as on the need to detect, investigate and, where necessary, prevent security incidents. Data will only be retained beyond this period where this is necessary to comply with statutory retention obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Once the relevant purpose of processing no longer applies, the data will be deleted, provided there is no other legal basis for further retention.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and, where applicable, similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and may contain certain information.

We distinguish between technically necessary cookies and cookies or technologies that are used, for example, for analytics, marketing, or other purposes.

Technically necessary cookies may be used without prior consent to the extent that they are absolutely necessary for providing a service you have expressly requested or for the technical functioning of the website.

For cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will obtain your consent before using them.

The processing of personal data based on consent is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The storage of or access to information on your device is also governed by Section 165(3) of the TKG 2021.

You may revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future.

7. Cookie Consent Management

To manage and document your consent to the use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies, we use the FAZ Cookie Manager, a WordPress plugin implemented locally on our website.

The FAZ Cookie Manager allows you to decide for yourself whether to consent to the use of non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Your selection is stored technically so that your decision is taken into account when you visit the site again and so that your consent or refusal can be documented in a traceable manner.

In particular, information regarding which categories or individual services you have consented to or refused to use may be processed and stored. To document the consent decision, the FAZ Cookie Manager may also store a pseudonymized or hashed identifier, as well as the date and time of consent and technical information regarding the consent decision. The FAZ Cookie Manager does not transmit consent data to an external cloud service; the consent logs are stored on our own web server or in our own WordPress database.

Data processing is carried out to manage and document your consent decision, to technically implement your selections, and to fulfill our data protection compliance obligations pursuant to Article 7(1) of the GDPR. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in documenting the consents granted in a transparent manner and in being able to demonstrate compliance with data protection requirements.

The consent records stored in the FAZ Cookie Manager are generally retained for 6 months and then deleted, unless a longer retention period is required due to legal obligations or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. The consent decision you have saved in your browser will remain in effect for the retention period configured for this purpose in the FAZ Cookie Manager.

You may modify or withdraw your consent at any time, effective for the future. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up until the time of withdrawal.
