Privacy

The protection of your personal information is of great concern to us. We process your data exclusively in accordance with the legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this privacy information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

bconsult assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against bconsult, which refer to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded unless there is evidence of willful intent or gross negligence on the part of bconsult. All offers are non-binding and without obligation. bconsult reserves the right to change, supplement, delete or temporarily or permanently discontinue parts of the pages or the entire online offering without separate notice.

References to Third-Party Sites

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (links) that lie outside the responsibility of bconsult, liability would only come into effect if bconsult had knowledge of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable to prevent the use in the case of illegal content. bconsult hereby expressly states that at the time of linking, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, bconsult expressly distances itself from all content of all linked pages that have been changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references set within the author’s own website. For illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and, in particular, for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, the provider of the page to which reference was made is solely liable, not the one who has linked to the respective publication via links.

Contact

If you contact us via the contact form or by email, your provided data will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

If there is an option to enter personal or business data (names, email addresses, telephone numbers) within the internet offer, the disclosure of this data by the user is expressly on a voluntary basis. The data is transmitted to us exclusively in encrypted form. The use and payment of all offered services is – as far as is technically possible and reasonable – also permitted without providing such data or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym. The use of contact data published in the context of the imprint or similar information, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses by third parties for sending information that has not been expressly requested is not permitted. Legal action against the senders of so-called spam mails in the case of violations of this prohibition is expressly reserved.

Cookies

A “cookie” is a text file that is stored on your hard drive. When the server of our website is accessed again, the web browser sends the previously received cookie back to the server. Cookies can be used to collect information about your access to our website (e.g., date, time, accessed page, web browser used, pseudonymized IP address). The storage serves technical and statistical purposes. There is no merging with your other personal data. Cookies can also facilitate navigation on the website. If you do not want to store cookies, you can achieve this by adjusting your browser settings. However, the usability of the website may be restricted without resorting to cookies.

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP Anonymization

We have enabled IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to us.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers.

This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown under “Objection to data collection.”

Server Log Files

The provider of the site automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to www.bconsult.at. These are:

– Browser type and browser version
– Operating system used
– Referrer URL
– Host name of the accessing computer
– Time of the server request

This data is not specific to individuals. A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done. We reserve the right to check this data subsequently if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us

as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https” and a lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to Information and Deletion

By this privacy statement, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient, the purpose of data processing, and a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data at any time.
