Scope of application:

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator, Reiner Ranftl, Wagnitzstraße 105, 8073 Feldkirchen bei Graz, Austria.

The website operator takes the protection of your data very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.

Please bear in mind that data transmission over the Internet can inherently be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against unauthorized access is not feasible.

Access data:

The website operator or page provider collects data on access to the site and stores it as “server log files.” The following data is logged in this way::

  • Website visited
  • Time of access
  • Volume of data transmitted in bytes
  • Source/referral link used to reach the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

The data collected is used solely for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to retrospectively examine the server log files should concrete evidence point to unlawful use.

Cookies:

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies enhances the user-friendliness and security of this website.

Common browsers offer the option to block cookies. Please note: Access to all functions of this website without restriction is not guaranteed if you select these settings.

Handling of personal data:

The website operator collects, uses, and discloses your personal data only if permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.

Personal data is defined as any information used to identify you and which can be traced back to you - such as your name, email address, and telephone number.

User account:

To place orders using this service, every customer must create a password-protected customer account. This account includes an overview of past orders and active order processes. You will be automatically logged out if you leave the online shop.

The operator assumes no liability for password misuse, unless caused by the operator itself.

Ordering process:

All data entered by customers during the order processing procedure is stored. This includes:

  • Surname, First Name
  • Address
  • Payment Details
  • Email Address

Data that is strictly necessary for delivery or order processing is passed on to third-party service providers. Your data will be deleted once its retention is no longer required or legally mandated..

Handling of contact details:

If you contact the website operator using the available contact options, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Handling comments and posts:

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address is stored. This serves the website operator's security: should your text violate the law, they wish to be able to trace your identity.

Subscriptions:

You have the option to subscribe to the entire website as well as to follow-up comments on your post. You will receive an email to confirm your email address. No other data is collected. The stored data will not be passed on to third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Google Analytics:

This website uses the "Google Analytics" service, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze how users interact with the website. The service uses "cookies"—text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization is active on this website. Users' IP addresses are truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This truncation removes the personal identification associated with your IP address. Under the data processing agreement concluded between the website operators and Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to compile reports on website usage and activity and to provide services related to internet usage.

You have the option to prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser. Access to all functions of this website without restriction cannot be guaranteed if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also use a browser plugin to prevent information collected via cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. The following link leads to the relevant plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Alternatively, clicking this link prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website. Clicking the link above downloads an "opt-out cookie." Therefore, your browser settings must allow the storage of cookies for this to work. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.

Use of social media plugins:

This website uses Facebook social plugins operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). These integrations can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the terms "Like" or "Share" displayed in Facebook's colors (blue and white). Information regarding all Facebook plugins can be found at the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook's servers. The website operator has no influence on the nature or scope of the data transmitted by the plugin to Facebook Inc.'s servers. You can find information on this here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084
The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you have visited this website. Your IP address may be stored in the process. If you are logged into your Facebook account while visiting this website, the information mentioned will be linked to that account.

If you use the plugin's functions - such as by sharing or "liking" a post - the corresponding information is also transmitted to Facebook Inc.

If you wish to prevent Facebook, Inc. from linking this data to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting this website..

This website also uses the Google Plus “+1” button. This is operated by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). When you visit a page containing the “+1” button, a direct connection is established between your browser and Google’s servers. Consequently, the website operator has no influence over the nature and scope of the data transmitted by the plugin to Google Inc.’s servers. If you click the “+1” button while logged into Google+, you share the page’s content on your public profile..

According to Google Inc., personal data is only collected when you click the button. Even for logged-in Google users, the IP address—among other data—is stored. If you wish to prevent Google Inc. from storing this data and linking it to your account, please log out before visiting this website.

You can find information about the “+1” button here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy

This website also uses Twitter buttons. These are operated by Twitter Inc. (795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you visit a page containing such a button, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter servers. The website operator therefore has no influence over the nature and scope of the data transmitted by the plugin to Twitter Inc.'s servers.

According to Twitter Inc., only your IP address is collected and stored in this process.
