Web Hosting Introduction
Introduction and Overview
We have drawn up this data protection policy (version 29.01.2022-311936804) to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data") we as the controller – and the processors we have commissioned (e.g., providers) – process, will process in the future, and what legal options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We provide you with comprehensive information about the data we process about you.
Data protection policies usually sound very technical and use legal jargon. This data protection policy, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. Wherever possible, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner, links to further information are provided, and graphics are used. We thus inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the course of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if you provide the briefest, most unclear, and legally technical explanations possible, as is often the norm on the internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative, and perhaps you will find some information there that you were not previously aware of.
If you still have any questions, please contact the responsible office listed below or in the imprint, follow the links provided, and view further information on third-party websites. Our contact details can of course also be found in the imprint.
Scope of Application
This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us within the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (processors). By personal data, we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, such as a person's name, email address, and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this privacy policy includes:
All online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
Social media presences and email communication
Mobile apps for smartphones and other devices
In short: This privacy policy applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner within the company via the aforementioned channels. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.
Legal Basis
In the following privacy policy, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e., the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation, that enable us to process personal data.
Data Protection Regulation Regarding EU law, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of April 27, 2016. You can, of course, read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, the gateway to EU law, at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.
We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of the data you entered in a contact form.
Contract (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR): We process your data in order to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you. For example, if we conclude a purchase agreement with you, we require personal information in advance.
Legal obligation (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR): We process your data if we are subject to a legal obligation. For example, we are legally obligated to retain invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.
Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. This processing therefore constitutes a legitimate interest.
Other conditions, such as the taking of photographs in the public interest and the exercise of official authority, as well as the protection of vital interests, generally do not apply to us. If such a legal basis should be applicable, it will be indicated at the appropriate point.
In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:
In Austria, this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act), or DSG for short.
In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, or BDSG for short, applies.
If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Storage period
Our general principle is that we only store personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obligated to store certain data even after the original purpose no longer applies, for example, for accounting purposes.
If you request that your data be deleted or withdraw your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible and unless there is an obligation to store it.
We will inform you below about the specific duration of each data processing period, as soon as we have further information.
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
According to Article 13 GDPR, you have the following rights to ensure fair and transparent data processing:
According to Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to information about whether we process your data. If so, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and to be informed about the following:
the purpose for which we process it;
the categories, i.e., the types of data being processed;
who receives this data and, if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
how long the data will be stored;
the existence of the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
that you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found below);
the origin of the data if we did not collect it from you;
whether profiling is being carried out, i.e., whether data is being automatically evaluated to create a personal profile of you.
According to Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to rectification of data, which means that we must correct any errors you find.
According to Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), which specifically means that you can request the deletion of your data.
According to Article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to restriction of processing, which means that we may only store the data but not use it any further.
According to Article 19 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a common format upon request.
According to Article 21 of the GDPR, you have the right to object, which, if exercised, will result in a change in the processing.
If the processing of your data is based on Article 6 (1) (e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6 (1) (f) (legitimate interest), you can object to the processing. We will then examine as quickly as possible whether we can legally comply with this objection.
If data is used for direct marketing purposes, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for direct marketing purposes after that.
If data is used for profiling purposes, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We may no longer use your data for profiling purposes after that.
According to Article 22 of the GDPR, you may, under certain circumstances, have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing (e.g., profiling).
In short: You have rights – do not hesitate to contact the responsible body listed above!
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/. In Germany, there is a data protection officer for each federal state.

Web Hosting Introduction
Web Hosting Summary
???? Affected Parties: Website Visitors
???? Purpose: Professional website hosting and operational security
???? Data Processed: IP address, time of website visit, browser used, and other data. You can find more details below or from the web hosting provider used.
???? Storage Period: Depends on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks
⚖️ Legal Basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Legitimate Interests)
What is Web Hosting?
When you visit websites these days, certain information – including personal data – is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By website, we mean the entirety of all web pages on a domain, i.e., everything from the home page (homepage) to the very last subpage (like this one). By domain, we mean, for example, example.de or sampleexample.com.
When you want to view a website on a screen, you use a program called a web browser. You probably know some web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.
This web browser must connect to another computer where the website's code is stored: the web server. Operating a web server is a complex and time-consuming task, which is why it is usually handled by professional providers. They offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data.
When the browser connects to your computer (desktop, laptop, smartphone) and during data transfer to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data, and on the other hand, the web server must also store data for a period of time to ensure proper operation.
To illustrate:
Why do we process personal data?
The purposes of data processing are:
Professional hosting of the website and securing its operations
To maintain operational and IT security
Anonymous evaluation of access behavior to improve our services and, if necessary, for criminal prosecution or the pursuit of claims
What data is processed?
Even while you are currently visiting our website, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically saves data such as:
The complete internet address (URL) of the accessed website
Browser and browser version (e.g., Chrome 87)
The operating system used (e.g., Windows 10)
The address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g., https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichgekommen.html/)
The host name and IP address of the device from which access was made (e.g., COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)
Date and time
in files, the so-called web server log files.
How long is data stored?
The above-mentioned data is usually stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be viewed by authorities in the event of illegal behavior.
In short: Your visit is logged by our provider (the company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we will not share your data without your consent!
Legal Basis
The legality of processing personal data within the scope of web hosting arises from Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary to present the company securely and user-friendly on the Internet and to be able to pursue attacks and claims arising from this if necessary.
There is usually a contract for data processing between us and the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 f. GDPR, which ensures compliance with data protection and guarantees data security.
