Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you have the option of complaining to the supervisory authority. Austrian data protection authority: https://www.dsb.gv.at/
- Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)
Everyone has the right to know whether a controller (public authority, company, etc.) is processing personal data relating to them. To exercise this right, the data subject must submit a request to the controller.
- Right to authorisation (Art. 16 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. It is also possible to request the completion of an incomplete data set by means of a supplementary declaration.
- Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to erasure of their data.
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation introduces a new right to restriction of processing in Art. 18. It serves to restrict the use of data without deleting it. The restriction of processing can be requested in parallel to the right to rectification and the right to object.
- Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
It grants the right to receive data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller for processing. The right to data portability differs from the right to information in that the emphasis is on portability.
- Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Points (e) or (f) relate to processing for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller or a third party.
- Right to lodge a complaint (Art 77 GDPR)
You can lodge a complaint with the data protection authority if you believe that the processing of personal data violates the GDPR.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics compiles detailed statistics on user behaviour on the website in order to obtain analysis information. This requires the processing of a user’s IP address and metadata that can be used to determine a user’s country, city and language. Cookies or cookie-like technologies can be stored and read. These may contain personal data and technical data such as the user ID, which can provide the following additional information:
– Time information about when and how long a user was or is on the various pages of the website
– device category (desktop, mobile phone and tablet), platform (web, iOS app or Android app), browser and screen resolution used by the user
– where a user came from (e.g. originating website, search engine including the searched term, social media platform, newsletter, organic video, paid search or campaign)
– whether a user belongs to a target group or not
– what a user did on the website and what events were triggered by user actions (e.g. page views, user engagement, scrolling behaviour, clicks, added payment information and custom events such as e-commerce tracking)

They may also be combined by Google with information about users who are logged in to Google’s websites (e.g., google.com). Google will share personal information with its affiliates and other trusted companies or individuals so that they can process the information for you on Google’s behalf and in accordance with Google’s privacy policy. The data may also be used by the website operator and Google to create profiles, e.g. to provide a user with personalised services such as advertising based on the user’s interests or recommendations.
The following data will be collected:
The following information is recorded in summary:
- Pages viewed on the website.
- Orders including sales and products ordered.
- The achievement of “website goals”, such as contact requests and newsletter registrations.
- Behaviour on the pages, such as length of stay, clicks and scrolling behaviour.
