Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us.

Data protection regulations focus on the processing of personal data, with certain exceptions. For the scope of this data protection declaration, the conceptual understanding of the GDPR is used. Thus, the "processing" of personal data essentially includes any handling of the same. Insofar as data processed by us is human-related and makes you identifiable as a person, it is basically personal data, whereby you are to be regarded as a person affected by data processing within the meaning of Art. 4 Z 1 GDPR. You are not obliged to provide data. Data automatically processed as a result of accessing the website is not personal data or is only stored for a very short period of time (see in particular point 2).
