2. Hosting and Website Operation with Wix

This website is operated using Wix.

The provider is Wix.com Ltd., Nemal St. 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel.

When you visit this website, Wix processes technically necessary data, in particular your IP address, device and browser information, time of access, as well as server and security data. This processing is carried out to ensure the secure and reliable provision of the website.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in operating a secure and functional website.

Wix may use additional sub-processors, including providers located outside the European Economic Area.

3. Contact Requests and Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via the contact form, we process the data you provide in order to handle your request.

The contact form may process, in particular, the following data:

first and last name
email address
type of interest or request
content of your message
preferred appointment date and time

Data submitted via the contact form is processed and stored through Wix. Email communication is handled via our email provider united-domains.

Where your request concerns the initiation or performance of a contract, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In other cases, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.

If no contractual relationship is established, the data will generally be deleted no later than 12 months after the request, unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons require longer storage.

4. Cookies and Consent Management

This website uses technically necessary cookies as well as, subject to your consent, cookies and similar technologies for statistics, analytics and embedded third-party content.

When you first visit the website, you can use the cookie banner to choose which categories you consent to. Non-essential technologies are only activated after you have given your consent.

The legal basis for technologies requiring consent is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 165 of the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (Telekommunikationsgesetz 2021 – TKG 2021).

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings.

5. Wix Analytics

We use analytics and statistics functions provided by Wix in order to evaluate the use of our website and improve our online presence.

This may include information such as page views, devices used, browser information, approximate origin and user behaviour.

Where non-essential cookies or comparable technologies are used for these purposes, processing takes place only with your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

6. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics via a Google Tag to statistically analyse the use of our website.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics may process information including page views, duration of use, device and browser information and interactions with the website.

The Google Tag on our website is used in basic consent mode. Google services are therefore only activated after you have given the relevant consent.

The processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Google may also process data outside the European Economic Area. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy information.

7. Embedded YouTube Videos

Individual pages of this website contain embedded YouTube videos.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Embedded videos are only loaded after you have consented to the relevant cookie category. Without your consent, the video player remains blocked.

Only after you have given your consent may a connection to YouTube or Google be established. In this context, data such as your IP address and information about your device and use of the video may be transmitted to Google.

The processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

8. External Links and Social Media

Our website contains links to external websites and social networks.

As a rule, data is only transmitted to these providers when you click the respective link. The respective provider is responsible for the processing of personal data on the external website that is subsequently opened.

9. Storage Period

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or for as long as statutory retention obligations apply.

Contact requests that do not result in a contractual relationship are generally deleted no later than 12 months after receipt.

For analytics and cookie data, the applicable storage periods of the respective services and your selected cookie settings apply.
