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.

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 LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter only called “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 a Google server in the US. 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 use Google Fonts to display external fonts. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter only called “Google”.

To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the US 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.

Your Rights

With regard to the data processing described above, users and data subjects have the right to

• confirmation of whether data concerning them are processed, information on the data processed, further information on data processing and copies of the data (cf. also art. 15 DSGVO);
• correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also art. 16 DSGVO);
• the immediate erasure of the data concerning them (cf. also art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is required pursuant to Art. 17 para. 3 DSGVO, to the restriction of processing pursuant to art. 18 DSGVO;
• receive the data concerning them and provided by them and the right on the transmission of this data to other providers/responsible parties (cf. also art. 20 DSGVO);
• objection to the supervisory authority if they are of the opinion that the data concerning them are processed by the provider in violation of data protection provisions (cf. also art. 77 DSGVO).

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. However, this obligation shall not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

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”).
