Privacy policyHow we handle your data

Information on the processing of personal data under the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act. For visitors from Switzerland, the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) applies in addition. This English text is a convenience translation; the German version is legally binding.

1. Controller

No data protection officer has been appointed. For a sole proprietorship of this kind, an appointment under Art. 37 GDPR is not legally required.

2. Your rights as a data subject

You have the right at any time to information (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and a right to object (Art. 21). You may withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future. An informal message to the email address above is sufficient.

3. Right to lodge a complaint

• Austria: Austrian Data Protection Authority, www.dsb.gv.at
• Germany: the competent state data protection authority, overview at www.bfdi.bund.de
• Switzerland: FDPIC, www.edoeb.admin.ch

4. Legal bases

We process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular for the performance of a contract (lit. b), on the basis of your consent (lit. a), to fulfil legal obligations (lit. c) and to safeguard legitimate interests (lit. f).

5. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by a service provider. When the pages are accessed, server log files are automatically recorded (browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, host name, time, IP address). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

6. Cookies

This website sets no cookies and stores no information in your browser.

7. Contact

If you contact us by email, your details are stored to process the enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR. No disclosure takes place without your consent.

Enquiry form

You can send us an enquiry using the form on the page Request a conversation. The data you enter, namely first name, last name, email address and your message, and optionally company, position, telephone number, topic and preferred means of contact, are transmitted to our web server over an encrypted connection, forwarded from there directly by email to info@ph-potzinger.com and not stored permanently on the web server. You will receive an automatic confirmation at the address provided.

The purpose of the processing is to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for pre-contractual communication and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR for the consent you give. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future; an informal email is sufficient.

To protect against automated submissions, the form checks an additional field that is invisible to you and the time between opening and sending. No personal data are transmitted to third parties and no cookies are set.

To the extent necessary to answer your enquiry or to prepare a proposal, we use carefully selected service providers as processors under Art. 28 GDPR. They process your details solely on our instructions.

8. Fonts (web fonts)

The fonts on this website are loaded locally from our own server. No connection to external font providers and no transfer of your IP address to third parties takes place.

9. Embedded services

No external services such as maps, videos, analytics or newsletters are embedded. Fonts and images are loaded from our own server.

10. Storage period

We store data only as long as necessary or as required by statutory retention periods. After that, the data is deleted.

11. Transfer to third countries

A transfer outside the EEA only takes place where legally permitted, for example on the basis of an adequacy decision or the standard contractual clauses.

12. Note for visitors from Switzerland

The revised Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) applies in addition. The principles and data-subject rights described apply analogously.
