Our security measures are constantly being improved to protect your data. Regardless of our security precautions, illegal interference by third parties (through malware, hacking, fax interception, etc.) cannot be completely ruled out.

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties in accordance with data protection regulations, namely if you have consented to the forwarding of your data or if this is necessary to process the contract or to fulfill legal obligations.

We also ensure that our service providers comply with data protection regulations.

The level of data protection in third countries may not correspond to that in Austria.

If our company is transferred in whole or in part to third parties, your data will also be transferred. However, the validity of the data protection declaration remains unaffected by such processes.
