Hosting and server logs
Our website is hosted by HostProfis ISP Telekom GmbH, Austria. To deliver the website and maintain its security and availability, the hosting service processes technical access data, including IP addresses, access times, requested pages and browser information. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: our legitimate interest in operating a reliable, secure website. Without the necessary connection data, the website cannot be delivered.
According to HostProfis’ published information, web access logs are deleted within 31 days. Further details are available in the HostProfis privacy information.
Cookies and website functions
Our website code uses no cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. Images and fonts are served with the website. The glossary search works locally in your browser without transmitting or storing your search query. No contact forms or embedded social media feeds are used.
Contact by email or telephone
When you contact us, we process the contact details, message content and any attachments you provide to answer your enquiry and manage the resulting correspondence. Providing these details is voluntary, but we may be unable to respond without sufficient information.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry concerns a contract with you or pre-contractual steps you request. For other business enquiries, it is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and maintaining business relationships. Legally required recordkeeping is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
IT and communication service providers
We use hosting, cloud email and IT service providers to operate the website and handle communications. These providers receive data as needed to supply and secure their services. Our cloud email mailboxes are stored in Germany. Our cloud email service may involve limited processing or remote access outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. The provider’s data protection terms govern these transfers and include EU Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers that rely on them. You can contact us for further information or a copy of the relevant safeguards.
Retention
The retention period for correspondence depends on whether it is still needed to handle an enquiry or manage a business relationship, on applicable statutory recordkeeping periods and on whether the correspondence is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. We delete archived emails after ten years under our archiving policy.
External links
LinkedIn and other external websites are linked rather than embedded. When you follow a link, the destination operator processes data under its own privacy information.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. If processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it for the future without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
You may object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. Please contact us using the details above.
You may complain to a competent supervisory authority, particularly in the country of your habitual residence, place of work or the alleged infringement. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
