Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. That After registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses. Registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the logon and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider will be logged.

We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter «newsletter») only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the content of a newsletter is concretely described in the context of an application for the newsletter, it is decisive for the consent of the user. Incidentally, our newsletters contain information about our events, products, offers and promotions of our company.

To send our newsletter, we use third-party mailchimp, operated by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA. The privacy policy of the shipping service provider can be viewed here: mailchimp.com/legal/.

Furthermore, the shipping service provider may, according to its own information, transmit these data in pseudonymous form, i. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve their own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of shipping and the presentation of newsletters or for statistical purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address them themselves or to pass them on to third parties.

The newsletters contain a so-called «web beacon», i. a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from the server of the shipping service provider when the newsletter is opened. This call will first collect technical information, such as information about your browser and system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services by means of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior on the basis of the call locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients, but it is neither our endeavor nor that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The use of the shipping service provider, the implementation of the statistical surveys and analyzes and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of our users.

You can terminate the receipt of our newsletter at any time, ie. Revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to its dispatch by the shipping service provider and the statistical analyzes expire. A separate revocation of the shipment by the shipping service provider or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. If the users have only subscribed to the newsletter and terminated this registration, their personal data will be deleted.

You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data transferability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates the data privacy laws or your privacy claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you may complain to the supervisory authority (Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barich­gasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna, www.data-protection-authority.gv.at, dsb@dsb.gv.at).

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy in order to adapt it to changing legal situations, or to changes in a service and data processing. However, this only applies to declarations of data processing. If users' consent is required or elements of the privacy policy contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes are only made with the consent of the users.

Users are asked to keep up to date with the content of this privacy policy.
