When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the Responsible Entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
Mag. Stefanie Zöchmann, BA
Phone: +43 664 2382820
Email: [email protected]
The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Duration
Unless a specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion takes place once those grounds no longer apply.
Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website
If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. If you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing also takes place on the basis of § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data if it is required to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each case are explained in this Privacy Policy.
Data Transfer to Non-Secure Third Countries and US Companies Not Certified under the DPF
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in non-secure third countries and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in non-secure third countries.
The USA is considered a secure third country with a level of data protection comparable to the EU. A transfer of data to the USA is permissible if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. More information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may require the transfer of personal data to these parties. We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits such transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out if it is technically feasible.
Access, Recitification, and Deletion
You have the right, at any time and within the framework of applicable law, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this and other questions regarding personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must take place. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
