Privacy Policy

The AAAS cares about the protection of your privacy. Accordingly, our website processes your personal data exclusively in compliance with the legal framework (GDPR article 6, paragraph 1(f) – i.e. our legitimate interest in storing some data to ensure an optimized service free of technical errors – as well as the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2003). In the following, we will inform you about the most relevant ways in which we do so.

Contact Data

If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, we will store some of your data (first name, last name, e-mail address) for up to one year to be able to respond to your message. We will not disclose personal information to third parties without your consent.

Access Data

To ensure your browsing experience on our website remains free of technical errors, we are collecting access data in the form of so-called log-files. These log-files include the following information: sites visited, time of access, referral, the amount of bytes that was sent, browser used, operating system, as well as your IP address. We will not disclose those data to third parties without your consent, and delete them within one year.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. A cookie is a small file that can be placed on your device to allow us to recognize and remember you.
