This privacy policy describes how Austroo operates this service. We understand the importance of your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.
This service is an informational website providing details and frequently asked questions about Österreich vignettes. We do not offer any purchase options or user accounts.
Information We Collect
Given the purely informational nature of this service, we collect minimal personal data.
- Technical Data: We may collect technical data about your visit, such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, and device information. This information is typically aggregated and anonymised and is used to understand how users interact with our site and to ensure its proper functioning and security.
- Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our site, analyse site traffic and usage patterns, and improve your experience. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function, while others may be for analytics or performance purposes. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses through this service, as there are no forms, accounts, or purchase processes.
How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve our online platform and its content.
- To understand user behaviour and trends to enhance the service.
- To ensure the security and stability of our site.
- For internal analytical purposes.
We do not use your information for marketing purposes, nor do we track your activity across other websites or services.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our legal basis for processing the limited technical data and using necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in operating, maintaining, and improving our informational online platform and providing a secure and functional service to users. For non-essential cookies (like analytics), our legal basis may be your consent where required by law.
Sharing Your Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share the minimal information collected with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting and analytics providers. These third parties are obligated to protect your information and are restricted from using it for any other purpose. We ensure any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
Data Retention
We retain the minimal data collected only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, typically for a limited period required for technical operation, security logs, and aggregated site analytics. Anonymised data may be retained for longer periods for statistical analysis.
Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request erasure of your personal data.
- Request restriction of processing your personal data.
- Object to the processing of your personal data.
- Request data portability.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Please note that as we collect very limited and typically anonymised technical data on this informational site without user accounts or direct identifiers, exercising some of these rights, particularly access, correction, or erasure of specific personal data linked to an individual, may not be possible based on the data we hold.
If you have concerns about our data practices, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
