Data policy

The protection of personal data of users (data subjects or persons concerned by the data processing) of the website is very important to Schatz GmbH. If Schatz GmbH processes data during the use of the website, this is done solely on the basis of the relevant statutory data protection regulations, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act.

Server logfiles

The provider gathers information about every website visit (so called server logfiles). This information includes: The name of the visited website, date and time of the access, the amount of transferred data, reports about successful access, the type and version of browser, the operating system, URL, IP address and the user who wants to visit the homepage.

The provider uses the data only for statistical purposes. IP addresses from which visitors appear to originate may be recorded for IT security and system diagnostic purposes. This information may also be used in aggregate form to conduct web site trend and performance analysis.

Akismet spamfilter

This website makes use of the Akismet service, an analytical tool from Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA. Akismet analyses the interactions of all website visitors with the help of certain patterns in order to show up and, if necessary, delete spam.

For this reason, certain information about the user`s computer (e.g. IP address) as well as content which is collected through interaction at the website will be transferred and processed to a server of Automattic in the USA, where they are stored for four days. This action is necessary in order to deal with the growing number of spam. If necessary, due to legal reasons, or because of processing issues Automattic may transfer this information to third parties.

You can use an alias in order to avoid the processing of your data or you can simply not use our commenting system. In the future you have the opportunity to object the processing of your data via support@wordpress.com, referring to the subject: “deletion of data stored by Akismet” and pointing out the stored data.

Attempt of contact

By contacting the provider (via contact form or email) the user`s data, which is necessary for handling inquiries or responding to questions, will be stored.

Newsletter

With our newsletter service we inform you at your express request about us and our offers.

If you would like to use our newsletter service, we require a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the indicated email address or that the owner consents to receiving the newsletter. Further data will not be collected. This data is processed exclusively for the newsletter registration, the newsletter management and the newsletter distribution and is not forwarded to third parties.

When registering for the newsletter, we log your IP address and the date of registration. This logging is purely for evidence in case a third party has misused an email address and registered it for receiving the newsletter without the knowledge of the email address owner.

Any processing of personal data in connection with the receipt of newsletters is performed only on the basis of your prior consent. This is on the understanding that you can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time using the above contact options. You can also unsubscribe from our newsletter service at any time. The option to unsubscribe is available via a link directly in the newsletters.

Integration of third parties

It is possible that our online offer may incorporate content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This always requires that the provider of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third party”) is able to identify the user’s IP address. This is because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of each user. The IP address is thus required in order to present this content. In this context, we only use content where the respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content.

However, we have no control over whether third parties will log the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of such a procedure, we will inform users accordingly and reassess the integration of the content in question.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that allow storing device-related information to the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). They enhance the user friendliness of websites and thus serve the user (e.g. by storing login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on the website use and analyse them to improve the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use and particularly the user-friendliness will be limited without cookies.

You can manage many online ad cookies by various companies on the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

User`s rights

Data subjects have the right to access their personal data processed by Schatz GmbH, to have the data rectified, erased and port to other data controllers as well as to object to and to restrict the processing of their personal data.
