Privacy policy
Protecting and safeguarding your personal data is particularly important to us. This privacy policy explains how and what personal data the media owner collects, uses or stores, to what extent and for what purposes.
We process your data confidentially and solely in accordance with statutory provisions, particularly the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We respect and ensure that the legitimate confidentiality interests of data subjects are not infringed when data is processed or transmitted.
We collect, process and store personal data only to the extent strictly necessary.
We ensure that personal data processed in accordance with these principles is accurate, complete and correct.
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that only employees assigned to the specific task and bound to maintain the confidentiality of the data entrusted to them can access the processing. Processors commissioned by us, such as printers sending printed materials, also receive your data where they need it to fulfil an assignment.
Where there is a legal obligation, public bodies and institutions, such as the State of Vorarlberg, may receive your personal data. Independently of this, the use of personal data in accordance with the assignment and its purpose is documented and regularly reviewed.
Please bear in mind that data transmission over the internet may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against third-party access is not possible.

Personal data
Personal data means any information that can identify you or be traced back to you, for example your name, title, email address or telephone number. Information that cannot be directly associated with a person’s actual identity is not included. In general, our website is available to all users without personal data being collected. You do not have to disclose personal data to visit our website. In some cases, however, we require information such as your name and address to provide a service you request. If you use one of our services, we collect only the data necessary to provide it. The same applies when we send you information materials at your request or answer your enquiries. All references to persons apply to all genders.
Automatically stored non-personal data
When you access our websites, general information is collected automatically. This includes the type of web browser, operating system, your internet service provider’s domain name and similar information. This consists solely of information that does not allow conclusions to be drawn about your identity. Such data is also generated when accessing any other website on the internet and is therefore not a specific feature of our websites. Information of this kind is collected only in anonymised form and evaluated statistically by us.
Data, purpose limitation, legal basis, retention period and recipients
In general, we store and use only data that is essential to perform our tasks. The media owner collects, processes or transmits data only where at least one of the following applies:
a legal obligation exists;
it is necessary to perform a contract or pre-contractual obligations;
the data subject has given consent;
it serves to protect your life or fundamental rights, or there is a strong public interest in preventing significant harm to national or public security and the common good;
the requested service cannot be provided in another way and no overriding data protection interests exist.
We also process data from publicly accessible sources, such as the commercial register, register of associations, land register and media, which the media owner has lawfully obtained. This includes basic personal data such as identification details (name, address, contact details, date and place of birth, nationality and similar information), identity verification data such as identity document details, and authentication data such as a specimen signature. It may also include order data such as payment orders, data arising from the fulfilment of our contractual or pre-contractual obligations, such as an application, information about your financial status such as creditworthiness data, advertising data, documentation data such as consultation records, register data, image and audio data such as video recordings, information from your electronic communications with us, such as apps and cookies, data required to meet legal requirements, and similar information.
Email enquiries, enquiry and registration forms
If you send us an enquiry by form or email, we store your information, including the contact details you provide, such as title, first and last name, postal address, email address and telephone number, to process the enquiry and deal with any follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent. Where additional information is required for online forms, it is provided directly alongside the relevant form.
Newsletter
We are happy to keep you informed about current topics through our newsletters.
To send you a newsletter, we need your email address, which you can enter in the designated field on the relevant webpage. We store your data solely to send the newsletter you request. You may unsubscribe from the relevant newsletter at any time, thereby objecting to further use of your data, by using the unsubscribe option at the end of the newsletter.
Comments and contributions on our website
If you leave a contribution or comment on this website, your IP address is stored. This serves to protect the website operator, who wishes to be able to trace your identity if your text violates the law.
Data retention
In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and minimisation, we store your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the relevant purpose and delete it as soon as possible afterwards. The only exceptions are data we must continue to retain due to a legal obligation, such as statutory retention periods. In such cases, we delete your personal data only after the statutory retention and documentation obligations have expired.
Cookies
Please note that we use cookies when you visit our website. These are small files that may be stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies improve this website’s usability and security. Among other things, they can make navigation easier, for example by allowing you to resume using a website where you left off and/or by storing your preferences and settings and retrieving them on a subsequent visit. Cookies cannot access, read or modify other data on your computer. Most cookies on this website are “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Persistent cookies, however, remain on your computer until you delete them manually in your browser. We use persistent cookies to recognise you when you next visit our website. If you wish to control cookies on your computer, you can configure your browser to notify you when a website wants to store cookies. You can also block cookies or delete cookies already stored on your computer. For instructions, please use your browser’s help function. The “Cookie-Cracker” plugin integrated into this website informs you about storage and obtains your consent for cookies that are not technically necessary.
Please note: if you make such changes to your settings, access to all functions of this website without restriction cannot be guaranteed.
Integration of third-party services and content
This website may include third-party content. This always requires the content providers to receive users’ IP addresses, as they could not otherwise send the content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is therefore necessary to display this content. We endeavour to use only content whose providers use the IP address solely to deliver that content. However, we have no influence over third-party providers storing IP addresses for purposes such as statistics. Where we are aware of this, we inform users and/or request separate consent before displaying the content.
Links to other websites
Alongside our own content, we provide external links to content supplied by other providers. We check links leaving our website very carefully. Since external links may subsequently change or be updated, the media owner disassociates itself from the content of third-party websites. The provider of the linked page alone is liable for unlawful, incorrect or incomplete content and, in particular, damage arising from the use or non-use of the information provided there, rather than the party merely linking to that page.
Data security
The media owner uses technical and organisational security measures to store your personal data in a way that protects it against unauthorised access, accidental or deliberate manipulation, misuse, loss or destruction. These security measures mean that we may occasionally ask you to provide proof of identity before disclosing your data to you. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technical developments.
Changes to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time to ensure it continues to meet current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services, such as the introduction of new services. The revised privacy policy then applies to your next visit.
Your rights as a data subject
As a person affected by data processing, you have, subject to statutory requirements, a right of access under Article 15 GDPR, a right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR, a right to erasure of your personal data under Article 17 GDPR, a right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR and a right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR. You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (processing in the public interest) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on a balancing of interests). If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or it serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Please address related requests to the data protection contact given above.
Consent and the right to withdraw consent
Where processing your data requires your consent, we process it only after you have expressly consented. For persons under 14, the consent of their legal guardian is also required. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future using the contact details above. In that case, data previously stored about you will no longer be used, or will be anonymised and subsequently used solely for statistical purposes without reference to you. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the media owner’s rights to process personal data where it is entitled or obliged to do so independently of consent. Nor does it affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint
We naturally hope that you will have no reason to do so, but you have the right to lodge a complaint with the national supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates statutory requirements.
