Privacy Policy

As of: 4 August 2025

Under the provisions of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) you have the following rights in principle:

Right to information: You must be informed about which personal data is collected, processed and stored, and for what purpose.

Right of access: You may request a copy of the data stored about you and information about its processing from the controller.

Right to rectification: You may request the correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data.

Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): You may request that your data be deleted, provided there are no statutory retention obligations.

Right to restriction of processing: You may request that the processing of your data be restricted in certain cases (e.g. in the event of disputed data).

Right to data portability: You may request that your personal data be transmitted to you or another controller in a common, machine-readable format.

Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data – in particular for direct marketing or legitimate interest purposes.

Right not to be subject to solely automated decision-making: You may request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that has legal effects (e.g. profiling).

Right to confidentiality (under Austrian interpretation): Your personal data must in principle be treated confidentially and may not be made accessible to third parties unlawfully.

These rights are governed by the GDPR, in particular Articles 12 to 22. To exercise most rights a request to the controller is required – who must respond in principle within one month; for complex requests this period may be extended to up to three months.
