This website is designed to collect as little data as possible:

4. Hosting

This website is operated by an external service provider: World4You Internet Services GmbH, Hafenstraße 47–51, 4020 Linz, Austria. The provider processes the data listed under section 3 solely on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.

If you contact us by email or phone, we process the data you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number and the content of your enquiry) in order to respond to your enquiry.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures; otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
Storage period: we delete your enquiry once it has been fully dealt with and no further communication is expected, and no later than six months. If an engagement results, the statutory retention periods apply (in particular seven years under § 132 of the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code, BAO).

Please note that unencrypted emails are not fully protected against access by third parties during transmission.
