Last updated on 4.6.2018

This website is operated by LEC GmbH, Inffeldgasse 19, A-8010 Graz, Austria (“we” or “us”). Protecting your personal data is a matter of great concern to us. We process your data in accordance with the legal requirements (in particular GDPR, DSG, Telecommunications Act 2003). In compliance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this privacy policy statement provides you with information about how we process your personal data in connection with this website.

Data about you that we process

We collect the following information during your visit to this website: the date and time you access a page of our website, your IP address, the name and version of your web browser, the website (URL) you visited before you accessed this website, certain cookies (see point 2 below) and other information that you provide as a user and/or customer [e.g., in an inquiry or as part of registration at our website]. When a contract is concluded, we save the following data for the purpose of executing the contract: contact information such as name, address, email address, job title and bank account.

As long as the processing of your personal data is not required to fulfill the terms of a contract, you are not obligated to provide the data requested by our website.

Cookies

This website largely avoids the use of cookies. A cookie is a small text file that can be stored on your computer when you visit a website.

We use only a single, technically necessary cookie on our website. This serves solely to remember your chosen language preference so that it is maintained during future visits to our website or when switching between subpages. No other functional cookies, session cookies, or advertising cookies are stored on your device.

If you want to control cookies on your computer, you can select your browser settings so that you receive a notification when a website wants to store cookies. You can also block or delete cookies. However, please note that if you block or delete this specific cookie, your preferred language setting can no longer be automatically applied during your next visit.

Web analytics tools

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo for the statistical evaluation of visitor access. We use Matomo in the so-called cookieless mode. This means that no tracking cookies are stored on your device for web analysis.

We process your data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in creating easy-to-use website access statistics in a cost-effective manner to improve our offer and our web presence.

To analyze website usage, we record information such as the date and time of the page view, the requested URL, information about your browser and operating system, and your IP address. We have configured Matomo so that your IP address is immediately anonymized (e.g., by shortening the last bytes) as soon as it is recorded. A direct personal reference is thereby excluded.

The data collected by Matomo is processed exclusively on our own servers (or on the servers of our European hosting provider) and is not passed on to third parties. There is no transfer of your analysis data to the USA or other third countries.

Purpose of data processing

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

To provide and continue to improve and develop this website;
To compile usage statistics;
To be able to detect, prevent and investigate website attacks;
To engage in marketing and advertising (Note: We would like to inform you as an interested party about our latest innovations and products)
To respond to your inquiries;
To be able to execute our contract with you (to your complete satisfaction) (including actions leading up to the contract);

Lawfulness of data processing

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is provided by:

Our (predominantly) legitimate interest (according to Art. 6 par. 1 (f) GDPR), which is to achieve the purposes referred to in point 4 above;
Your consent (according to Art. 6 par. 1 (a) GDPR) by signing up;
The necessity of entering into and performing a contract (according to Art. 6 par. 1 (b) GDPR)

Transfer of your personal data

We transfer your personal data to the following recipients for the purposes referred to above:

IT service providers we have employed;
Banking institutions/payment service providers;
Tax accountants.

Some of these recipients are maybe located or process your personal data outside your country. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of your country. We transfer your personal data only to countries that the EU Commission has decided provide an adequate level of data protection.

Duration of storage

In the case of a contact inquiry, your data will be stored for six months.

In the event a contract is concluded, all data concerning the contractual relationship is stored until the end of the tax record retention period (i.e. seven years), and in addition to this until any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence are resolved.

To check whether we have saved personal data about you and if so what kind and to obtain copies of this data
To request the rectification, completion or erasure of your personal data if it is false or has not been processed in accordance with the law;
