Data Collection on Our Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the legal notice (Impressum) of this website.

How do we collect your data? Your data is collected in part by you providing it to us — for example, data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for? Some data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Details can be found in the privacy policy under “Right to Restriction of Processing.”

Analysis Tools and Third-Party Tools When you visit our website, your browsing behavior may be statistically analyzed. This is done primarily using cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous and cannot be traced back to you.

You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information about these tools and your options for objection can be found in the following privacy policy.

General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Data Protection The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Notice Regarding the Responsible Party The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Prozept GmbH Phone: +43 664 2260748 Email: office@prozept.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Against Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; 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 your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge 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, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following links: https://www.bfdi.bund.de (Germany) and https://dsb.gv.at (Austria).

Right to Data Portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL/TLS Encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) after concluding a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are processed exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — apart from its storage — only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Advertising Emails The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Cookies This website uses in particular cookies or other technologies that are strictly necessary, as well as functional cookies, so that the website and its functions can be made available to you, pursuant to § 25(2)(2) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Where you give consent for optional services and non-essential cookies, the legal basis is § 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can obtain further information about the cookies and services used from the consent management tool we use at any time, and can revoke any consents freely and without disadvantage with effect for the future. Please note, however, that our website may not always function as intended without the cookies used.

You can view the cookies used in our tool and edit or revoke your consents there at any time. Revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to its revocation.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website — for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

Registration on This Website You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

For important changes, such as changes in the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data) We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content arrangement, or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our internet pages (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transmission upon Contract Conclusion for Online Shops, Retailers, and Goods Dispatch We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the framework of contract processing, for example to companies entrusted with the delivery of goods or the credit institution entrusted with payment processing. Further transmission of data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Disclosure of your data to third parties without express consent, for example for advertising purposes, does not take place.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

YouTube with Enhanced Data Protection Our website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website by the visitor, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Otherwise, services are only actively loaded if you have given your prior consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please refer to: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html.

Use of EverCAPTCHA To protect our contact form against unwanted use, we use the EverCAPTCHA service provided by our website creator and host Internet Online Media GmbH, Hetmanekgasse 1b, 1230 Vienna. This service is provided by the sub-processor: wwwe GmbH, Hansaallee 299, 40549 Düsseldorf. EverCAPTCHA enables distinction of whether data entry in the contact form is carried out by a human or abusively automated by a machine (a so-called spam bot).

For this purpose, various questions are asked when using our forms (e.g., “Click on symbol X” etc.). EverCAPTCHA stores all failed attempts by a user, an IP address via a session ID that is stored in local storage. The session ID is transmitted to the server with each request via JavaScript. After 30 incorrect entries, the user’s IP address is permanently stored in a database for spam prevention. Otherwise, IP addresses are deleted within 7 days. Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

YourRate Widget We have implemented a rating widget on our website. The widget used is implemented as part of our website offering by yourrate.com. The provider of this service is the subcontractor of our provider, namely Euroweb Internet GmbH, Hansaallee 299, 40549 Düsseldorf. We have concluded appropriate agreements with our processor and they with their sub-processor. Further details on data processing can also be found in the terms and conditions at https://www.yourrate.com/de/agb.

Through the rating widget on our website, data is requested by YourRate. When the widget is accessed, your device establishes a connection to YourRate’s servers via the browser used. This primarily results in the collection of your IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is technically necessary to enable delivery of the website including widgets to your device, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, no tracking and no statistical evaluation take place.

Social Media

Integration of Social Media Content On this website we have integrated a tool for the implementation of social media content from the provider Curator Group, 69 Ruthven Street, Bondi Junction, NSW 2022, Australia.

This application prevents the plugins integrated on our website from transmitting data to the respective provider the first time you visit the page.

Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking the associated button will a direct connection to the provider’s server be established (consent).

Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. Otherwise, services are only actively loaded if you have given your prior consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

IP Anonymization We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to Data Collection You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Order Processing We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You can disable this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics in general as described in the “Objection to Data Collection” section.

Storage Period Data stored at Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For details, please see: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196.

Google Analytics Remarketing Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in combination with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This function allows the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given the appropriate consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad advertising.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://adssettings.google.com/.

These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

Own Services

Applications If you send us an application, we process the personal data you provide therein in order to process your application and contact you. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, unless we are legally obliged to do so, you have requested this, or the transfer of data is necessary for the initiation and execution of a contractual relationship with you or the application process. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR, Art. 88(1) GDPR, § 26(1) BDSG.

Applications are deleted at the latest three months after completion of the application process. If the data is required after completion of the application process for legal prosecution purposes, data processing may be based on the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If your application is successful, we will continue to process the personal data concerning you for the purposes of the employment relationship.

If you have given express consent, you can revoke your consent declaration at any time with effect for the future, so that we will delete your data.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection If you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes in the context of job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary for the decision on establishing an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG (new) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation), and — if you have given consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be passed on within our company exclusively to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG (new) and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Storage Period Stored server log files and IP addresses are deleted after seven days at the latest.

Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of the session. Other cookies are stored on your device and you have control over the use and deletion of cookies (see above).

Your data from your inquiries via email or via contact form will be processed until your inquiry has been fully processed and completed. The data will then be deleted. Please note, however, that due to a legal transaction with you, commercial and tax retention obligations of at least six (§ 257 HGB) or ten (§ 147 AO) years may apply to certain data, which may also apply to the content of contact inquiries and emails.

If you apply by email, for example, we delete your transmitted personal data and applications three months after completion of the application process. If your application is successful, we will continue to process your personal data for the purposes of the employment relationship.

Otherwise, it is checked annually whether data can be deleted. This is the case when the processing purpose and the requirements of the legal basis for processing have ceased to exist and there is no legal obligation to retain the data.

Our Social Media Presence

Data Processing by Social Networks We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations.

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing processes on social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis Our social media presence is intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be stated by the operators of the social networks.

Controller and Assertion of Rights If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can generally assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both with us and with the operator of the respective social media portal.

Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage Period The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please inform yourself directly with the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policies, see below).
