  • Type of data: IP address, request headers and log data.
  • Purpose: Fast delivery of the website via a global network (CDN) and protection against DDoS attacks.
  • Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a high-performing and secure web infrastructure).
  • Data transfer: Vercel is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The transfer to the USA is therefore based on an adequacy decision of the EU Commission.

Fonts (locally hosted)
For a consistent display of fonts, we use fonts that are provided locally on our server and loaded from there when the website is accessed. No connection to third-party servers (e.g. Google) is established, and no personal data is transferred to third parties.

Google Services

General
The provider of the following services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. You can find Google's privacy policy at this link. Some services are provided by, or data is transferred to, Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, California 94043-1351, USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, meaning the data transfer to the USA is compliant with data protection law within the meaning of Art. 45 GDPR.

Some Google services use cookies. Before processing, your consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 165(3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG) is obtained for the use of Google services and the setting of the cookies required for this purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time, free of charge.

Google Analytics
We use the web analytics service Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-X7FHP48S4J) on our website. Google Analytics allows us to analyse visitor behaviour and improve what we offer. It is used solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 165(3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act). As long as you have not consented to the category Statistics, the Google script is technically blocked and is not loaded at all – no cookies are set and no data is transmitted to Google. Only after your consent are the following cookies set:

NameDurationDescription
_ga2 yearsDistinguishes website visitors by means of a unique identifier.
_ga_<measurement ID>2 yearsStores and counts page views (session status).

Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our contact form against automated requests and abuse (spam). The script is only loaded once you actually start using the form – merely opening the contact page does not transmit any data to Google. When it is used, personal data (including IP address, time spent on the page and mouse movements) is transmitted to Google and evaluated there. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the security of our website and protection against abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Further information can be found in the Google privacy policy.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the website (essential cookies), others record visits and the visitor's origin (performance cookies) or are used for marketing purposes (marketing cookies).

Insofar as personal data is also processed through individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the performance of the contract, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in the case of consent given, or pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website.
