Our Website
In order to make our website user-friendly, we use cookies, which may also originate from third-party providers.
Third-Country Data Transfer
When using cookies and similar technologies from US service providers (e.g., Google), your information (e.g., IP address, usage behavior, technical data) is transferred to the USA as a third country. Due to the “Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework” and the adequacy decision issued by the European Commission for the USA, an adequate level of protection can be assumed, provided that the data recipients are certified and registered in the “Data Privacy Framework” database. In addition, in certain cases, with your consent (e.g., via the cookie banner), you can decide for yourself whether a data transfer should take place.
Please note that governmental surveillance programs in the USA (such as, in particular, “Section 702″ of FISA and E.O. 12333” in conjunction with “PPD-28”) stipulate that providers of electronic communication services in the USA, such as Google, are obliged to provide personal data to US authorities. As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the “Civil Liberties Protection Officer“, which you can submit directly to a national supervisory authority such as the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
Other Data Transfers
Apart from data transfers that occur during the use of cookies and similar technologies, your collected personal data will be transferred in particular when we engage external service providers (e.g., for hosting and maintaining the website). We have concluded a data processing agreement with such external service providers in accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation. In this agreement, we oblige external service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your personal data and to take appropriate data security measures.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
