Privacy policy

The protection of your personal data is important to us. We process your data solely on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG). This policy explains how your data is processed when you visit this website. This English version is provided for convenience; the German version is authoritative.

2. No cookies, no tracking

This website does not use cookies or similar technologies. We do not use analytics or tracking services, advertising networks or social media plug-ins. Fonts and images are served from our own web server; no third-party content is loaded when you visit the website.

3. Website access and server log files

When you visit this website, our hosting provider processes technically necessary data: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, amount of data transferred, browser type and operating system, and the previously visited page (referrer).

The purpose is to deliver the website and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Log files are deleted after 14 days unless they are needed to investigate a specific security incident.

4. Contact by email and orders

If you contact us by email, for example to place an order or to submit a manuscript proposal, we process the data you provide in order to answer your enquiry and, where applicable, to process your order.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the conclusion or performance of a contract, and otherwise our legitimate interest in answering enquiries under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Your enquiry is deleted once it has been dealt with, and at the latest six months after the last contact. Where a business relationship arises, we retain the data for as long as statutory retention obligations, in particular under commercial and tax law, require.

5. Recipients and processors

Your data is not sold and is not passed on to third parties for advertising purposes. We use the following service provider as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR to operate this website and our email:

• Hosting and email: IPAX GmbH, Donaustraße 106, 3400 Klosterneuburg, Austria (server location: Vienna, Austria)

Your data is not transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

6. Data security

This website is transmitted exclusively over an encrypted connection (TLS). We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). Where we process data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21). There is no automated decision-making, including profiling.

If you believe that the processing of your data infringes data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde), Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna, email: dsb@dsb.gv.at, website: www.dsb.gv.at.

8. Changes

We will update this privacy policy whenever changes to the website or to the law make this necessary. The version published here applies.
