You may contact our data protection officer at dpo@behaviorquant.com or via our postal address. Please mark the envelope ‘Data Protection Officer’.
We process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal regulations (DSGVO, TKG 2003). In this data protection declaration we inform you about the most important data processing aspects on our website.
Server Data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider via your Internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access, as well as the IP address of the Internet connection from which our Internet presence is used, are collected.
The data collected in this way will be temporarily stored, but not together with your other data.
This data is stored on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our Internet presence.
Contact with us
If you contact us via contact form or via e-mail on the website, the data you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and possible follow-up questions.
By contacting us, you consent that we use your data to inform you about our products or services. If you do not wish to receive any further information from us, you can object to this at any time. A text message to the above mentioned contact data (e.g., e-mail) is sufficient for this.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your mobile device using the browser. They do not cause any damage.
We use cookies to make our website user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us.
If you do not want this, you can set your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you can permit cookies only on a case by case basis. In addition, you can disable the setting of analytical, advertisment and functional cookies via the Cookie Settings.
When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be limited.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service of Google Inc. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services (“Google”).
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and efficient operation of our Internet presence.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of the visit to our website, are transmitted and stored to Google. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function Google shortens the IP address already within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used for providing other services related to the use of our Internet presence and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides you with further data protection information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, e.g., also about the possibilities of preventing the use of data.
In addition, Google offers a so-called deactivation add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout along with further information. This add-on can be installed with the most popular Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website.
The add-on informs Google Analytics’ JavaScript (ga.js) that information about visits to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services.
Google Fonts
In our website we may use Google Fonts to display external fonts. This is a service of Google Inc. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services (“Google”)..
To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to Google is established when our website is accessed.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and efficient operation of our Internet presence.
By connecting to Google when you visit our website, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the display of the font is to be transmitted.
Google offers further information at adssettings.google.com and policies.google.com/privacy, in particular on the possibilities of preventing the use of data.
ReCAPTCHA
To protect your requests via Internet form, we use the service reCAPTCHA of the company Google Inc (Google). The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusive by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google. The deviating data protection provisions of Google apply to this data. For more information on Google’s privacy policy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
HubSpot
In our website we use Hubspot, a tool for digital marketing. This is a service of HubSpot Inc (“Hubspot”). For the European region, the Hubspot European Office, Ground Floor, Two Dockland Central, Guild St, North Dock, Dublin, D01 K2C5, Ireland, is responsible for all Hubspot services.
Hubspot offers further information, how how Hubspot collects, receives, uses, stores, shares, transfers, and processes your Personal Data at https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.
Hotjar
We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data have been disclosed by the provider about any correction or deletion of data or the restriction of processing which takes place on the basis of articles 16, 17, para. 1, 18 DSGVO.

Users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them in accordance with art. 21 DSGVO, provided that the data are processed by the provider in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority (“Datenschutzbehörde”).
