Handling of your personal data follows the data protection legislation in Austria (DSGVO, TKG 2003).
I would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from third-party access.
The Privacy Policy does not apply to practices of third parties that I do not own or control.
