Data Collection, Use and Disclosure and Control of Data and Data Security

Personal Data
We process personal data of our customers, potential customers, business partners and other persons who are directly or indirectly related to our company. The data to be processed may include the following information:

Last name, first name, academic title as this is Austria after all
Contact details (address, phone number, email)
Company-related information (company name, function, department)
Payment data (if relevant)

When you contact us via our website, we use the data you have given us to provide the information you have asked for.

Purpose of Data Processing

We process this data for the purpose of providing our business which is marketing and communication consulting and coaching services. The processing may be carried out for the purpose of establishing contact, preparing offers, executing contracts, invoicing and customer support.

​

Storage Duration of the Data

We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is processed or if this is required by law. Once the purpose no longer applies or the statutory retention periods have expired, the data will be deleted or blocked.

​

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via our contact form, your details from the inquiry form including contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Social Networks

Social network buttons are placed on our website mainly for the possibility of interacting
with social networks in order to make our website more interesting for you as a user. Connection to
the respective social network will only take place if you actively click on the relevant button. In this
case, your web browser will start connecting to the servers of the relevant social network.

​

Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze usage behavior on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your interactions on our website. The information generated by this about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics is only used with activated IP anonymization. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Google Tag Manager
Our website may use Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, provided that these are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
