DATA PROTECTION

The protection of your personal data is of utmost importance to us. Therefore, we process your data exclusively in accordance with applicable legal provisions (EU General Data Protection Regulation GDPR, Telecommunications Act 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

You can generally use our website without providing any personal data. If you enter personal data, for example, for the purpose of contacting us or requesting a download, we will pass the necessary information on to companies that process data on our behalf (e.g., the company that sends the email with the download link). We only commission companies that comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Contact us

If you contact us by email, the data you provide (name, email address and optionally your telephone number) will be stored for a maximum of three years in order to process your request and in case of follow-up questions.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device with the help of your browser. They do not cause any damage. We use cookies to make our service user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. If you do not want this, you can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and only allow this on a case-by-case basis. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Plugins

Our website also contains programs (plug-ins) from the social network Facebook. These are operated exclusively by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (Facebook). The plug-ins are identified on our website by the Facebook logo or the addition “Like”. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers, which in turn transmits the content of the plug-in to your browser, which then integrates it into the displayed website. The information that you have visited our website is thereby forwarded to Facebook. If you are logged into your personal Facebook user account while visiting our website, Facebook can assign the website visit to this account. By interacting with plug-ins, e.g. by clicking the “Like” button or leaving a comment, this information is transmitted directly to Facebook and stored there. If you wish to prevent such data transmission, you must log out of your Facebook account before visiting our website.

The purpose and scope of data collection by Facebook as well as the further processing and use of your data there as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy policy ( http://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php ).

Server logs

The server that provides this website stores information automatically transmitted to us by your browser in so-called log files. These are:

  • Browser type and version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL (the page from which you came to us)

  • The IP address of the accessing computer

  • Time of request

This data is used exclusively for technical monitoring of the web server (utilization, optimization, error detection, security) and is absolutely necessary for this purpose. It is not linked to other data sources, so it cannot be assigned to individual individuals. It is deleted after three months.

Web-Analyse

Our website does not use any features of the web analysis service “Google Analytics” or alternative providers.

Data storage

For accounting purposes, we store the following data: name, contact person, company name, address, telephone number, email address, VAT number, and bank details. If you have agreed to a direct debit (SEPA direct debit mandate), we also store your bank details. This data will not be passed on, with the exception of transmission to the processing banks/payment service providers for the purpose of direct debiting. It will be passed on to our tax advisor, RTG Dr. Fritz Steuerberatung GmbH, Walserstraße 25, A 6991, D 87567 Riezlern, for accounting purposes and to fulfill our tax obligations. The data will be stored exclusively within the EU.

For the purpose of fulfilling the contract, access data to online services you use, such as email providers, office solutions, etc., will also be stored, provided that this is necessary for the order you have placed and that you actively provide it. This data is stored on encrypted local computer systems or portable computers secured by passwords and physical access control.

Furthermore, in encrypted and password-protected cloud solutions from Microsoft (Mail and Calendar) and iCloud (PC backup). The data is exclusively backed up and not further processed or shared. Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement

The data you provide is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot retrieve emails, schedule appointments, or conclude and fulfill the contract (seminar, workshop, keynote speech, or coaching) with you. Data will not be transferred to third parties, with the exception of the transfer of account or credit card details to the processing banks/payment service providers for the purpose of debiting the invoice amount and to our tax advisor to fulfill our tax obligations.

All data from a contractual relationship will be stored until the end of the tax retention period (7 years).

Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 Paragraph 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG) and Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a (consent) and/or Letter b (necessary for the performance of the contract) of the GDPR.

Your rights

You generally have the right to information, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, revocation, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
