Privacy Policy
Introduction & Overview
We have prepared this Privacy Policy (version dated 08.10.2021-111847182) in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws to explain which personal data (referred to as “data”) we, as the data controller — and the processors commissioned by us (e.g., service providers) — process now and in the future, and which lawful options you have in this context. All terms used are intended to be gender-neutral.
In short: We provide you with comprehensive information about the data we process about you.
Privacy policies are usually very technical and filled with legal terminology. This Privacy Policy, however, is intended to explain the most important aspects as clearly and transparently as possible. Where it supports transparency, technical terms are explained in plain language, links to further information are provided, and illustrations may be used. Our aim is to make it clear and understandable that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities when there is a legal basis for doing so. This would not be possible with brief, vague, or overly legalistic explanations — as is often the case online when it comes to data protection.
We hope you find the following explanations informative and helpful — and perhaps you’ll even learn something new. If you still have questions, please contact the responsible entity listed below or in our legal notice (Impressum), follow the provided links, or consult additional information on third-party websites. You’ll also find our contact details in the Impressum.
Scope of Application
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by our company, as well as to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (data processors).
By personal data, we mean information as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR — for example, a person’s name, email address, or postal address.
The processing of personal data allows us to offer and invoice our services and products, whether online or offline.
This Privacy Policy covers the following areas:
All online platforms (websites, online shops) operated by us
Social media profiles and email communication
Mobile apps for smartphones and other devices
In short: this policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed within the company through the channels mentioned above.
If we engage with you in legal relationships outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if required.
Legal Basis
In the following sections, we provide transparent information on the legal principles and provisions — the legal bases of the GDPR — that authorize us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 — the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
You can view this regulation online at EUR-Lex, the official access point to EU law:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679
We process your data only if at least one of the following conditions applies:
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): You have given us permission to process data for a specific purpose.
Example: storing data entered in a contact form.Contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Data processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations.
Example: to conclude a purchase agreement, we require certain personal data in advance.Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): We are legally required to process certain data.
Example: we must retain invoices for accounting purposes, which typically contain personal data.Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided these are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
Example: ensuring the secure and efficient operation of our website.
Other legal grounds — such as public interest or the protection of vital interests — generally do not apply to our operations. If they ever do, we will mention them explicitly in the relevant context.
In addition to the EU Regulation, national laws also apply:
In Austria, this is the Data Protection Act (DSG).
In Germany, the applicable law is the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you accordingly in the relevant sections of this policy.

Web Hosting
Overview
👥 Data Subjects: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: Professional hosting of the website and secure operation
📓 Data Processed: IP address, time of website visit, browser used, and other data — more details provided below or by the hosting provider
📅 Retention Period: Depends on the provider, usually around 2 weeks
⚖️ Legal Basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interests)
What is Web Hosting?
When you visit websites today, certain information — including personal data — is automatically generated and stored. This applies to our website as well.
When we refer to our “website,” we mean all web pages under our domain (e.g., from the homepage to the final subpage). The “domain” refers to addresses like example.com.
To display the website in your browser, your browser connects to a web server — the computer that stores the website code. Operating a server is complex, so we use a professional hosting provider for reliable and secure performance.
During the connection between your browser and the web server, data is processed both by your device and the server. Some of this data is personal.
Why Do We Process Personal Data?
Our purposes for processing this data include:
Professional hosting and smooth operation of the website
Maintaining operational and IT security
Anonymous analysis of access behavior for improvement
Possible legal compliance or enforcement of claims
What Data Is Processed?
When you visit our website, the web server (hosted by our provider) usually stores the following data automatically in log files:
Full URL of the page visited (e.g., https://www.example.com/page.html?tid=111847182)
Browser and version (e.g., Chrome 87)
Operating system used (e.g., Windows 10)
Referrer URL (the previous page visited)
Hostname and IP address of your device
Date and time of access
This data is stored in what are known as web server log files.
How Long Is the Data Stored?
This data is typically stored for around two weeks and then deleted automatically. We do not share this data but cannot rule out the possibility that it may be accessed by authorities if illegal activity is suspected.
In short: Your visit is logged by our hosting provider, but your data is not shared without your consent.
Legal Basis
The legal basis for processing personal data during web hosting is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in presenting our business online securely and efficiently, and in protecting our systems.
We have a data processing agreement (DPA) with our hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, which ensures your data is handled securely and in compliance with the law.
LinkedIn Privacy Notice
Overview
👥 Data Subjects: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: Optimization of our services and marketing efforts
📓 Data Processed: Information such as user behavior, device details, and IP address
📅 Retention Period: Data is typically deleted within 30 days
⚖️ Legal Bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (Consent), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interests)
What is LinkedIn?
We use social plug-ins from the LinkedIn platform, provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For users in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, the responsible entity is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin.
These plug-ins may include feeds, share buttons, or links to our LinkedIn page, and are clearly marked with the LinkedIn logo. They allow users to share content or follow us directly from our website.
By embedding LinkedIn features, data may be transferred to, stored by, and processed by LinkedIn. This section explains what data is affected, how LinkedIn processes it, and how you can control or prevent this data collection.
LinkedIn is the largest professional networking platform, focused on business connections, recruitment, and career development. It has over 11 million users in Germany and about 1.3 million in Austria.
Why Do We Use LinkedIn on Our Website?
We want to make it easy for you to connect with us and share relevant content. By integrating LinkedIn, we extend our reach and allow visitors to interact with our content directly. Additionally, LinkedIn provides analytical data that helps us improve our marketing by targeting relevant audiences.
What Data Does LinkedIn Store?
Simply embedding social plug-ins does not cause LinkedIn to store personal data. LinkedIn refers to the data generated by plug-ins as passive impressions. However, if you click on a social plug-in — for example, to share our content — the platform stores personal data as so-called active impressions. This occurs regardless of whether or not you have a LinkedIn account. If you are logged in, the collected data will be associated with your account.
When you interact with our plug-ins, your browser establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn’s servers. This allows the company to log various usage data. In addition to your IP address, this may include login data, device information, or information about your internet or mobile provider. If you access LinkedIn services via your smartphone, your location may also be detected — provided you have allowed location access. LinkedIn may pass on this data in a “hashed” form to third-party advertisers. Hashing means converting a data record into a character string, effectively encrypting the data so that individuals can no longer be identified.
Most data related to your user behavior is stored in cookies, which are small text files typically placed in your browser. In addition, LinkedIn may also use web beacons, pixel tags, ad tags, and other device recognition technologies.
Various tests have shown which cookies are set when a user interacts with a social plug-in. These examples are not exhaustive and are intended for illustrative purposes only. The following cookies were set even without being logged into LinkedIn:
| Name | Value (Example) | Purpose | Expiration |
|---|---|---|---|
bcookie | =2&34aab2aa-2ae1-4d2a-8baf-c2e2d7235c16111847182- | This is a “Browser ID Cookie” used to store your identification number (ID). | After 2 years |
lang | v=2&lang=de-de | Stores your preset or preferred language. | End of session |
lidc | 1818367:t=1571904767:s=AQF6KNnJ0G111847182… | Used for routing; tracks how you arrived at LinkedIn and how you navigate it. | After 24 hours |
rtc | kt0lrv3NF3x3t6xvDgGrZGDKkX | No detailed information available for this cookie. | After 2 minutes |
JSESSIONID | ajax:1118471822900777718326218137 | A session cookie used by LinkedIn to maintain anonymous user sessions. | End of session |
bscookie | “v=1&201910230812… | A security cookie. LinkedIn describes it as a Secure-Browser-ID cookie. | After 2 years |
fid | AQHj7Ii23ZBcqAAAA… | No detailed information available for this cookie. | After 7 days |
Note: LinkedIn also collaborates with third-party providers. During our testing, we also detected the Google Analytics cookies _ga and _gat.
How Long and Where Are the Data Stored?
In principle, LinkedIn retains your personal data for as long as the company considers it necessary to provide its services. However, LinkedIn deletes your personal data when you delete your account. In certain exceptional cases, LinkedIn may continue to retain some data in aggregated and anonymized form even after you delete your account. Once your account is deleted, other users can no longer see your data within one day. As a rule, LinkedIn deletes the data within 30 days.
That said, LinkedIn retains data if required by legal obligations. Any data that can no longer be linked to a person may continue to be stored even after the account is closed. The data is stored on various servers located in the United States and possibly also in Europe.
How Can I Delete or Prevent My Data from Being Stored?
You have the right to access and delete your personal data at any time. You can manage, update, and delete your data within your LinkedIn account. You can also request a copy of your personal data from LinkedIn.
To access your account data on LinkedIn:
Click on your profile icon in LinkedIn.
Select “Settings & Privacy”.
Go to the “Privacy” tab.
Under “How LinkedIn uses your data,” click “Change.”
Within a short time, you can download selected data related to your web activity and account history.
You can also prevent LinkedIn from processing your data by managing cookies in your browser. As mentioned above, LinkedIn stores most of its data via cookies placed in your browser. These cookies can be managed, deactivated, or deleted. How you do this depends on the browser you use. Here are guides for the most common browsers:
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove information stored by websites
Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: Manage cookies in Edge
You can also configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set, allowing you to decide individually whether to allow or block each one.
Legal Basis
If you have given your consent for data to be processed and stored via embedded social media elements, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). In general, your data may also be processed based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in effective and timely communication with you and other customers or business partners.
However, we only use embedded social media elements if you have provided consent. Most social media platforms also place cookies in your browser to store data. Therefore, we recommend that you read our cookie policy carefully and also review the privacy or cookie policies of the respective service providers.
LinkedIn also processes data in the United States, among other locations. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, the level of data protection in the U.S. is currently not considered adequate. This may entail certain risks regarding the legality and security of data processing.
To ensure GDPR-compliant data processing in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway — particularly in the U.S.) or when transferring data to such countries, LinkedIn uses Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (Art. 46(2) and (3) GDPR). These clauses require LinkedIn to maintain EU-level data protection standards even outside the EU. The clauses are based on an implementing decision by the European Commission, which you can review here:
https://ec.europa.eu/germany/news/20210604-datentransfers-eu_de
We have aimed to provide you with the most important information about LinkedIn’s data processing. For further details, please visit LinkedIn’s official privacy policy:

Custom Google Search Privacy Policy
Custom Google Search Privacy Policy – Summary
👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website
🤝 Purpose: Optimization of our service offering
📓 Data processed: Data such as IP address and search terms entered are stored by Google
More details can be found further below in this privacy policy.
📅 Storage period: Varies depending on the data stored
⚖️ Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (Consent), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interests)
What is the Custom Google Search?
We have integrated the Google Custom Search plug-in into our website. Google is the largest and most well-known search engine in the world and is operated by the U.S.-based company Google Inc. For users within the European Economic Area, the responsible entity is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). By using the Custom Google Search, data may be transmitted to Google. In this privacy policy, we explain why we use this plug-in, which data is processed, and how you can manage or prevent this data transmission.
The Custom Google Search plug-in is a Google search bar embedded directly on our website. The search works just like it does on www.google.com — however, the search results are focused on our content and products, or on a limited subset of results.
Why Do We Use the Custom Google Search on Our Website?
A website with many valuable and informative contents can grow so large over time that users may struggle to find specific information. We’ve also accumulated a large amount of valuable content over time, and as part of our service, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to find what you’re looking for.
The Custom Google Search makes finding relevant information much easier. The integrated Google plug-in enhances the overall quality of our website and simplifies your search experience.
What Data Is Stored by the Custom Google Search?
Data is only transmitted to Google via the custom search when you actively use the Google Search embedded on our website. This means that only once you enter a search term into the search bar and confirm it (e.g., by pressing “Enter”), your search term along with your IP address is sent to Google, where it is stored and processed.
Based on the cookies set (such as 1P_JAR), it can be assumed that Google also receives usage data related to our website.
If you are logged into your Google account while using the search function on our website, Google may also associate the collected data with your Google account.
As the website operator, we have no control over what Google does with the collected data or how that data is processed.
Cookies Set When Using Custom Google Search (without being logged into a Google account):
| Cookie Name | Value (Example) | Purpose | Expiration |
|---|---|---|---|
1P_JAR | 2020-01-27-13111847182-5 | Collects statistics on website usage and measures conversions (e.g., when a user becomes a customer). Also used to display relevant ads. | After 1 month |
CONSENT | WP.282f52111847182-9 | Stores the user’s consent status for the use of various Google services. Also helps verify users and protect user data from unauthorized access. | After 18 years |
NID | 196=pwIo3B5fHr-8 | Used to personalize advertisements in Google Search. Remembers your search queries and previous interactions with ads to tailor future ads. | After 6 months |
Note: This list is not exhaustive, as Google regularly updates and changes the cookies it uses.
How Long and Where Are the Data Stored?
Google’s servers are distributed all over the world. Since Google is an American company, most data is stored on servers located in the United States.
You can view the exact locations of Google’s data centers at:
https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de
Your data is distributed across various physical storage devices. This ensures faster access and better protection against potential manipulation.
Google also has appropriate emergency systems in place to protect your data. For example, if internal technical issues at Google render some servers inoperable, the risk of service interruption or data loss remains minimal.
Depending on the type of data, Google stores it for different lengths of time. Some data you can delete yourself, while other data is automatically deleted or anonymized by Google. However, certain data may be stored for longer periods if required for legal or business reasons.
How Can I Delete My Data or Prevent It from Being Stored?
Under the data protection laws of the European Union, you have the right to access your personal data, update it, delete it, or restrict its processing.
Some data can be deleted by you at any time. If you have a Google account, you can delete data related to your web activity or set it to be deleted automatically after a defined period.
You can also manage cookies in your browser — disable, delete, or configure them according to your preferences. Below are links to guides for the most common browsers:
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove information stored by websites
Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies
Legal Basis
If you have given your consent for the use of the Custom Google Search, then this consent serves as the legal basis for the corresponding data processing. According to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (Consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data that may occur when using the Custom Google Search.
In addition, we have a legitimate interest in using the Custom Google Search to optimize our online service. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use the Custom Google Search if you have given your consent.
Google also processes data in the United States, among other locations. We would like to point out that, according to the Court of Justice of the European Union, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. This may pose various risks regarding the legality and security of data processing.
As a basis for data processing by recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway — particularly in the USA) or for data transfers to such countries, Google uses Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (Art. 46(2) and (3) GDPR). These clauses require Google to comply with the EU data protection level when processing relevant data even outside the EU.
We hope this overview has helped clarify the key aspects of data processing by Google.

Google Fonts Local Privacy Policy
On our website, we use Google Fonts provided by Google Inc. For users in the European Economic Area, the responsible entity is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
We have integrated the Google Fonts locally, i.e., on our own web server — not via Google’s servers. As a result, there is no connection to Google servers, and therefore no data is transmitted to or stored by Google.
What Are Google Fonts?
Google Fonts (formerly known as Google Web Fonts) is an interactive directory with over 800 fonts that Google makes available for free.
Originally, these fonts could be used without having to upload them to your own server. However, in order to completely prevent any data from being transmitted to Google servers, we have downloaded the fonts and stored them locally on our own server.
This ensures compliance with data protection regulations and means that no data is sent to Google Fonts.
All texts are protected by copyright.
