COMMUNICATION OR USE-RELATED INFORMATION

When you access our websites via telecommunications services, communication-related information (e.g. Internet protocol address) or use-related information (e.g. information on the start and duration of use and the telecommunications services you use) is automatically generated by technical means. This may allow conclusions to be drawn about personal data. Insofar as the collection, processing and use of your communication or usage-related data is absolutely necessary, this is subject to the statutory data protection regulations.

AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED NON-PERSONAL DATA

When you access our websites, information is occasionally collected automatically (i.e. not via registration) that is not assigned to a specific person (e.g. Internet browser and operating system used; domain name of the website from which you came; number of visits; average time spent on the site; pages viewed). We use this information to determine the attractiveness of our websites and to improve their performance and content.

“COOKIES” – INFORMATION THAT IS AUTOMATICALLY STORED ON YOUR COMPUTER

When you visit one of our websites, we may store information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” that automatically recognizes it on your next visit. If you do not want us to recognize your computer, please set your Internet browser so that it deletes cookies from your computer hard drive, blocks all cookies or warns you before a cookie is stored.

SECURITY

Technical and organizational security measures are taken to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure or access.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

The website contains links to other websites. The municipality is not responsible for the data protection policies or the content of these other websites.

USE OF FACEBOOK PLUGINS

Plugins from the social network Facebook (Facebook Ireland Limited, Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2 Ireland) are integrated on our pages. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

When you visit our website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not want Facebook to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

USE OF A FACEBOOK PIXEL

We use the Facebook pixel from Facebook on our website. We have implemented a code for this on our website. The Facebook pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that loads a collection of functions with which Facebook can track your user actions if you have come to our website via Facebook ads. For example, if you purchase a product on our website, the Facebook pixel is triggered and saves your actions on our website in one or more cookies. These cookies enable Facebook to match your user data (customer data such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. Facebook then deletes this data again. The data collected is anonymous and cannot be viewed by us and can only be used in the context of ad placements. If you are a Facebook user and are logged in, your visit to our website is automatically assigned to your Facebook user account. We only want to show our services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of Facebook pixels, our advertising measures can be better tailored to your wishes and interests. This means that Facebook users (provided they have allowed personalized advertising) see suitable advertising. Furthermore, Facebook uses the data collected for analysis purposes and its own advertisements.

If you are logged in to Facebook, you can change your settings for advertisements yourself at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. If you are not a Facebook user, you can manage your usage-based online advertising at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/. There you have the option of deactivating or activating providers. If you want to find out more about Facebook’s data protection, we recommend that you read the company’s own data policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

USE OF GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Recipient:

Information from the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. So-called standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR have been concluded with this service provider as suitable guarantees. Further information can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_de

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (legitimate interest)

USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS

Our website also uses social media plugins which, among other things, enable our social media updates to be displayed directly on the website. We integrate all common social media platforms into our website to give you the opportunity to share our editorial content on social networks.

Regionalmanagement Obersteiermark Ost GmbH takes the current discussion about data protection in social networks very seriously. It is currently not legally clear whether and to what extent all networks offer their services in accordance with European data protection regulations. We would therefore like to expressly point out that the services used by the regional management, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, store their users’ data (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with their data usage guidelines and use it for business purposes.

The regional management has no influence on the collection of data and its further use by the social networks. The social media plugins on obersteierstark.at only call up the corresponding function when clicked. A connection is then established with the respective social media platform.

We expressly point out that we, as the operator of obersteierstark.at, have no knowledge of the full content of the transmitted data or its use by the respective social media platform. If you click on social media plugins while you are logged into your social media account, you can link the content of our pages to your account. This allows the social media platform you have chosen to associate your visit to our pages with your account. If you do not wish this to happen, please log out of your social media account (see above).

QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Regionalmanagement Obersteiermark Ost GmbH will respond to all reasonable requests to inspect and, if necessary, correct, supplement or delete personal data. If you have any questions or comments about this privacy policy, please contact us via the contact section. As the Internet develops, we will also continuously adapt our data protection policy. We will announce any changes on this page in good time.

FONTAWESOME

On our website, we use so-called web fonts or icons provided by Fonticons, Inc. for the uniform display of fonts or icons. When you access this website, your browser loads the required web fonts or icons into your browser cache in order to display texts, fonts and icons correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to the servers of Fonticons, Inc. As a result, Fonticons, Inc. becomes aware that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Font Awesome is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website, which constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Further information about Font Awesome can be found at https://fontawesome.com/help and in the privacy policy of Fonticons, Inc.: https://fontawesome.com/privacy.

Google Fonts Local

We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. on our website. Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for the European region. We have integrated the fonts locally, i.e. on our server. There is no connection to Google servers and therefore no data transfer or storage.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) are an interactive directory with over 1,000 fonts that Google provides free of charge. Google Fonts allows you to use fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, in order to prevent any transfer of information to Google servers in this regard, we have downloaded the fonts locally to our server. In this way, we act in compliance with data protection regulations and do not send any data to Google.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
