Scope of application
This privacy policy clarifies users about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider Waldner biotech GmbH, Kärntnerstraße 62, A - 9900 Lienz / Osttirol, +43 (0) 4852 70200, office@waldner-biotech.at of this website (hereinafter referred to as "offer").

Access data/ server log files
The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about every access to the website (so-called server log files). The access data includes

Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the website. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.

Making contact
When contacting the provider (e.g. via contact form or email), the user's details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") recognise the IP address of the user. This is because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user's browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. If we are aware of this, we will inform users accordingly.

Data storage
We would like to point out that for the purpose of simplifying the shopping process and for subsequent contract processing, the webshop operator stores the IP data of the connection owner as part of cookies, as well as the name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, bank details and credit card number of the buyer.

In addition, personal data is also stored for the purpose of processing the contract. The data provided by you is required to fulfil the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. We cannot conclude the contract with you without this data. Data is not transferred to third parties, with the exception of the transfer of credit card data to the processing bank/payment service provider for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us to deliver the goods and to our tax advisor to fulfil our tax obligations.

After cancellation of the purchase process, the data stored by us will be deleted. If a contract is concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the tax retention period (7 years).

The data name, address, purchased goods and date of purchase are also stored until the expiry of product liability (10 years). Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 Para. 3 TKG and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit a (consent) and/or lit b (necessary for contract fulfilment) of the GDPR.
