You can use our website without providing any personal data. The following text provides a brief overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. We process personal data of certain groups of individuals exclusively in accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Data Protection Amendment Act and the General Data Protection Regulation. Data is considered personal if it can be clearly attributed to a specific natural person. The general provisions on the website, as well as provisions regarding various groups of data subjects, inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection, use, and processing of personal data by
Company:
Address:
1234 Vienna
Austria
Since the company does not process data from government agencies or public authorities, and its core business does not involve processing operations that require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects, nor does it involve the extensive processing of special categories of data as defined in Articles 9 and 10 of the General Data Protection Regulation, no data protection officer has been appointed.
In this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the most important aspects of the processing of personal data on our website and about other processing activities involving external individuals.
1. Data Collection on This Website
How do we collect your data?
First, we collect your data when you provide it to us. For example, data you enter into our contact form. Other data is collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This primarily consists of technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you access this website.
What do we use your data for?
Please note that your data may be shared with official Ellipsi business partners as follows:
Login to the members' area at
Access to our website is granted via a customer login, which is provided upon voluntary registration. To set up access to the customer area, we use the following information: first and last name, username, email, company name, country, and password. Through the member area, you have access to additional content and services available only to registered users. The personal information contained in your profile can be corrected or updated at any time.
Email and contact form
When you contact us via email or through a contact form, the personal data you provide is automatically stored. If you voluntarily provide us with personal data, it will be stored in order to process your inquiry or to contact the individuals concerned. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Commercial Purposes
As a user, you consent to the use of your personal data to inform you of news via the Data Protection Officer’s email newsletter until you withdraw your consent. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide personal data. Those who do not consent will not receive the email newsletter.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the source, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have consented to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time with future effect. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
You may contact us at any time if you have further questions regarding data protection.
Analytics tools and third-party tools
When you visit this website, your browsing behavior may be analyzed for statistical purposes. This is primarily done using so-called analytics tools.
2. Easyname Hosting
We host our website with Easyname.
The domain and web hosting provider www.easyname.at is used on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is displayed as reliably as possible. Where consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Strato. This is a contract required under data protection law that ensures Strato processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
3. General Information and Mandatory Information, Privacy Policy
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy. When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
Duration of storage
Unless a specific retention period is specified in this Privacy Policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be erased unless there are other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be erased once these grounds no longer apply.
Notice Regarding Data Transfers to the United States and Other Third Countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the United States or other third countries that do not offer adequate data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to object. It cannot therefore be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing operations.
Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time 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 the personal data in question unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to file 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 where the alleged violation occurred. The right to lodge a complaint does not affect other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either directly or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information—such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Deletion, and Correction
In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its source and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted, if applicable. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or with any other questions about personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of having the data erased.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted rather than deleted.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must take place. Until it is clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may—apart from being stored—be processed only with your consent, or for the purpose of establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
4. Data Collection on This Website: Contact Form
If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter there, for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case we have follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry serves to fulfill a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent was requested.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been resolved). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected by this.
Inquiries by email, phone, or fax
When you contact us by email, phone, or fax, we store and process your inquiry and the resulting personal data (name, inquiry) for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent was requested. The data you provide to us via a contact request will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected by this.
5. Plugins and Tools
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics also uses cookies. The information generated by Google cookies regarding your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf. Google will in no event associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Please note that our website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension to enhance data protection. In this case, however, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. Personal identification during the analysis of our website’s usage is therefore ruled out. You can refuse the use of Google Analytics cookies by configuring your browser to exercise your right to object to the proactive collection, processing, and use of data by Google Analytics. To do so, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. This prevents Google Analytics from storing information about the websites you visit.
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly. To do this, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google’s servers. As a result, Google receives the information that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the consistent display of fonts on its website. If the relevant consent has been obtained (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font on your computer will be used. For more information about Google Web Fonts, visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de .
