Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is very important to us

We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

Contacting Us

If you contact us via the form on the website or by e-mail, the data you provide will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Content of the Online Offer

The author assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded, unless there is evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence on the part of the author. All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to discontinue publication temporarily or permanently.

References and Links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“links”) that are outside the author’s area of responsibility, a liability obligation would only come into effect if the author was aware of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the event of illegal content. The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the pages to be linked. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. For this reason, he hereby expressly distances himself from all content on all linked pages that has been changed since the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references set within our own website as well as to external entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists set up by the author. The provider of the page to which reference was made is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and, in particular, for damage arising from the use or non-use of such information, and not the person who merely refers to the respective publication via links.

Copyright and Trademark Law

The author endeavours to observe the copyrights of the graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts created by himself or to make use of license-free graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts. All brands and trademarks mentioned within the website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by the rights of third parties! The copyright for published objects created by the author himself remains solely with the author of the pages. Any duplication or use of such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the express consent of the author.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do not cause any damage.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases.

If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Google Maps

We use maps from the “Google Maps” service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Fonts

We use fonts (“Google Fonts”) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Web Analytics

Our website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider is Google Inc., based at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Cookies are used for this purpose, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by its users. The information generated in this way is transferred to Google’s server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored.

We have concluded a corresponding contract with the provider for order data processing.

Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our website and the offers we provide. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized.

Your IP address is recorded, but immediately pseudonymized (e.g. by deleting the last 8 bits). This means that only a rough localization is possible.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 Paragraph 3 TKG and Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

In addition, Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

The user data is stored for a period of 14 months.

Detailed information on the use of data by Google, your options for settings and objections can be found on the following Google websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Data use by Google when you use websites or apps from our partners”), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (“Data use for advertising purposes”), http://www.google.de/settings/ads “Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising”).

Mouse Tracking

Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our website and the offers we provide. We therefore use Hotjar to better understand the needs of our users and to optimize the offer on this website. With the help of Hotjar technology, we gain a better understanding of our users’ experiences (e.g. how much time users spend on which pages, which links they click on, what they like and what they don’t like, etc.) and this helps us to align our offer with the feedback from our users. Hotjar works with cookies (see above) and other technologies to collect information about the behavior of our users and about their devices (in particular the IP address of the device (is only recorded and stored in anonymized form), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), information about the browser used, location (country only), language preferred for displaying our website). Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. The information is neither used by Hotjar nor by us to identify individual users or merged with other data about individual users. Further information can be found in Hotjar’s privacy policy: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy.

You can object to the storage of a user profile and information about your visit to our website by Hotjar and the setting of Hotjar tracking cookies on other websites if you click on this opt-out link.

You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter via our website. In order to provide you with targeted information, we may also collect and process additional information that users provide voluntarily.

To send our newsletter, we need your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree to receive the newsletter. As soon as you have registered for the newsletter, we will send you a confirmation e-mail with a link to confirm your registration.

You can cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. Please send your cancellation to the following e-mail address: zauchenseehof@walchhofer.at.

We will then immediately delete your data in connection with the newsletter dispatch.

Google Re/Marketing Services

Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our website and the offers we provide. We therefore use the marketing and remarketing services (referred to as “Google Marketing Services”) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”).

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

With the help of Google Marketing Services, we can display advertisements for and on our website in a targeted manner in order to only present users with advertisements that potentially reflect their interests. For this purpose, Google executes a code and uses so-called (re)marketing tags, with the help of which an individual cookie is stored in the user’s browser. For the use of cookies, see above.

The information collected by Google can also be linked to information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, he may be shown advertisements tailored to his interests.

In addition, Google Analytics is used to collect the IP address of users, but immediately pseudonymized (e.g. by deleting the last 8 bits). This means that only a rough localization is possible, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specific person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply, of course, if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA. The user’s IP address is not merged with the user’s data within other Google offerings.

We use, among other things, cookies from the Google Marketing Service “Google AdWords”; we may display advertisements from third parties on the basis of the Google Marketing Service “AdSense” and its cookies. Further information on the use of data for marketing purposes by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

We also use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and centrally manage the analysis and marketing services offered by Google into our website.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our website and the offers we provide as well as analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website. We therefore use social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which are operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can display content such as graphics, text contributions or videos or elements for interaction on the website. You can recognize them by one of the Facebook logos (“f” on a corresponding background, the “thumbs up” sign or the terms “Like” or “Gefällt mir”) or the marking with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. You can view the list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
