Data Protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy. As a rule, our website can be used without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as names, addresses or email addresses) is collected on our website, it is provided voluntarily wherever possible.

Processors and Recipients

We process your personal data with the assistance of processors that support us in providing our services (e.g. web hosting providers and email newsletter distribution services). These processors are required to protect your personal data strictly and may process it only for the purpose of providing our services. Your personal data is disclosed only to customary business service providers, such as banks (if we make transfers to you), tax advisers (if you appear in our accounting records), shipping providers (if items are sent to you), etc.

Contact and Enquiry Form

After you submit the contact form, the personal data you entered is processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry on the basis of the consent you gave by submitting the form. There is no statutory or contractual obligation to provide the personal data. Failure to provide it merely means that you cannot submit your enquiry and we cannot process it. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by written notice without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal. You have the right to object at any time, by written notice, to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes.

Evaluating this data can provide valuable insights into users' needs. These insights help us to improve the quality of our services further.

So-called cookies are used in this context. Cookies are data stored in your browser that allow a visitor to be recognised on an anonymous basis. Cookies can generally be rejected or deleted through the appropriate browser settings. The statements made here in relation to cookies also apply in a similar way to other technical browser functions, such as Local

Some cookies on this website are necessary for the website to function and are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating the website securely and efficiently. As a rule, no information is disclosed to third parties for their own business purposes in this process.

To manage consent, we use CookieYes, a service provided by CookieYes Limited, 3 Warren Yard, Warren Park, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes, MK12 5NW, United Kingdom.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with CookieYes, under which CookieYes may not use the data for its own purposes. Although the United Kingdom is not a member of the European Union, the European Commission has determined by decision under Art. 45 GDPR that the United Kingdom provides a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Therefore, no separate legal basis is required for this transfer to a country outside the EU.

Privacy Information on Video Surveillance

Whistleblowing System

For confidential or anonymous reporting of suspected unlawful conduct, we use a whistleblowing system available at https://whistleblowersoftware.com/secure/TSG. Any contact details or additional information you enter in connection with a report are processed confidentially. The legal basis for processing is a statutory obligation arising from the Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act (HinweisgeberInnenschutzgesetz, HSchG) (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). This also applies to the processing of special categories of personal data or sensitive data under Art. 9(2)(g) GDPR.

You may submit a report anonymously, in which case none of your personal data will be processed.

If you choose to submit a confidential report, your name and optional telephone number and email address will be stored and communicated to the internal reporting office, which will handle your case confidentially and will not disclose your data within the company.

You may submit a report orally by recording an audio file, which will be uploaded to our servers. You can enable voice distortion to ensure the highest possible degree of anonymity.

You may also upload documents to be attached to the case. These documents may contain personal data.

Data relating to reports received is retained for five years from the most recent transfer of data, unless a longer retention period is required after investigative proceedings have been initiated.

Information is disclosed to legal advisers engaged by us who are subject to professional secrecy and, where applicable, to authorities for the investigation and initiation of proceedings. Information is also disclosed to technical service providers that assist us in providing the whistleblowing system. However, these providers may not use the data for their own purposes and are bound by additional agreements to the strict provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation and the associated high security standards.

For the processing of reports under the Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act, the data subject rights that otherwise apply are restricted by law. This applies in particular to the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to information, the right to restriction of processing, the right to object and the right to notification of a personal data breach.

Your Rights

You have the right of access to, rectification and erasure of your personal data, as well as the right to restriction of its processing. Where the legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent or a contract concluded with you, you also have the right to data portability. You have the right to withdraw any consent you may have given to the processing of your personal data. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of personal data carried out before the withdrawal. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Please note that the rights listed here are restricted by law where reports are processed through the whistleblowing system.
