1. Data Protection at a Glance

General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data are all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Data Collection on Our Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the legal notice (imprint) of this website.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data are collected when you provide them to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a contact form.

Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. These are mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data are collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, restriction, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of data protection, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

In addition, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Details can be found in the privacy policy under “Right to restriction of processing”.

Analysis Tools and Third-Party Tools

When visiting our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily using cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is anonymous. The surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you.

Information on the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Bernhard Teufl
Teufl GmbH
3508 Krustetten
Austria

Phone: +43 2736 93080
Email:

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Restriction, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, restriction, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

2. Data Collection on Our Website

Server Log Files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website – this requires the collection of server log files.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected. If no business relationship results from an inquiry, the data will be automatically deleted after one year.

Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
