Relevant legal bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Furthermore, if more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR) – The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or purposes.
Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR) – The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) – the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data are not overridden.
Processing of special categories of personal data relating to healthcare, profession and social security (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h) GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee’s ability to work, for medical diagnosis, health or social care or treatment, or for the management of health or social care systems and services on the basis of Union or Member State law or under a contract with a health professional.

National data protection regulations in Austria: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Austria. These include, in particular, the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act – FADP). In particular, the Data Protection Act contains special provisions on the right of access, the right to rectification or erasure, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission, as well as automated decision-making in individual cases.

Note on the applicability of the GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act: This data protection notice serves to provide information in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, we ask you to note that due to the broader spatial application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR are used. In particular, instead of the terms “processing” of “personal data”, “overriding interest” and “particularly sensitive personal data” used in the Swiss FADP, the terms “processing” of “personal data” as well as “legitimate interest” and “special categories of data” used in the GDPR are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms will continue to be determined in accordance with the Swiss FADP within the scope of the Swiss FADP.

Safety measures

In accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

Measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, availability and separation. We have also put in place procedures to ensure that the rights of data subjects are exercised, that data is deleted and that data is compromised. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technical design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Securing online connections with TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): In order to protect the data of users transmitted via our online services from unauthorized access, we rely on TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the Internet. These technologies encrypt the information transmitted between the website or app and the user’s browser (or between two servers), which protects the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the evolved and more secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transfers meet the highest security standards. If a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is signaled by the display of HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator for users that their data is being transmitted securely and encrypted.

Transfer of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, it may be transmitted to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

Data transfers within the organisation: Data transfers within the group of companies: We may transfer personal data to other companies within our group of companies or provide them with access to it. If the data is passed on for administrative purposes, it is based on our legitimate business and business interests or if it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations or if the consent of the data subjects or a legal permission has been obtained.

International data transfers

Data processing in third countries: If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this will only take place in accordance with the legal requirements. If the level of data protection in the third country has been recognised by means of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), this serves as the basis for the data transfer. Otherwise, data transfers only take place if the level of data protection is otherwise ensured, in particular by means of standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR), explicit consent or in the case of contractual or legally required transfer (Art. 49 para. 1 GDPR). In addition, we will inform you of the basis of the third-country transfer for the individual providers from the third country, with the adequacy decisions taking precedence as the basis. Information on third-country transfers and existing adequacy decisions can be found in the EU Commission’s information service: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.

EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework: As part of the so-called “Data Privacy Framework” (DPF), the EU Commission has also recognized the level of data protection as secure for certain companies from the United States as part of the adequacy decision of 10.07.2023. The list of certified companies as well as further information about the DPF can be found on the website of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/. As part of the data protection notice, we will inform you which service providers we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.

General information on data storage and deletion

We delete personal data that we process in accordance with the law, as soon as the underlying consents are withdrawn or there are no other legal grounds for the processing. This applies to cases in which the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data is no longer needed. Exceptions to this regulation exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer storage or archiving of the data.

In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons, or the storage of which is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons, must be archived accordingly.

Our Privacy Notice contains additional information on the retention and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing operations.

If there is more information about the retention period or deletion periods of a date, the longest period is always decisive.

If a time limit does not expressly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it shall automatically start at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the time limit occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in the context of which data is stored, the event triggering the deadline is the time when the termination or other termination of the legal relationship takes effect.

We process data that is no longer stored for the originally intended purpose, but due to legal requirements or other reasons, exclusively for the reasons that justify its storage.

Further information on processing processes, procedures and services:

Retention and deletion of data: The following general deadlines apply to retention and archiving in accordance with Austrian law:
- 10 years – retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheets, accounting documents and invoices as well as all necessary work instructions and other organizational documents (Federal Fiscal Code (BAO §132), Commercial Code (UGB §§190-212)).
- 6 years – Other business records: Commercial or business letters received, copies of the commercial or business letters sent, and other documentation if they are relevant for tax purposes. These include, for example, hourly wage slips, company accounting sheets, calculation documents, price labels and payroll documents, provided that they are not already accounting documents and cash strips (Federal Fiscal Code (BAO §132), Commercial Code (UGB §§190-212)).
- 3 years – Data required to address potential warranty and indemnity claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related requests, based on previous business experience and industry best practices, will be retained for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years (Sections 1478, 1480 of the Austrian Civil Code).

Rights of data subjects

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As data subjects, you have various rights under the GDPR, which result in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR:

Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising.
Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to revoke consent at any time.
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the data in question is being processed and to access this data, as well as to obtain further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the legal requirements.
Right to rectification: In accordance with the legal requirements, you have the right to request the completion of the data concerning you or the correction of the inaccurate data concerning you.
Right to erasure and restriction of processing: In accordance with the legal requirements, you have the right to demand that data concerning you be deleted immediately, or alternatively to demand a restriction of the processing of the data in accordance with the legal requirements.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in accordance with the legal requirements, or to request that it be transmitted to another controller.
Complaint to supervisory authority: Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the requirements of the GDPR.

Business services

We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g. customers and interested parties (collectively referred to as “contractual partners”), in the context of contractual and comparable legal relationships as well as related measures and with regard to communication with the contractual partners (or pre-contractually), for example to answer inquiries.

We use this data to fulfil our contractual obligations. These include, in particular, the obligations to provide the agreed services, any updating obligations and remedy in the event of warranty and other service disruptions. In addition, we use the data to protect our rights and for the purpose of the administrative tasks associated with these obligations as well as the company organization. In addition, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests both in proper and business management and in security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations from misuse, endangerment of their data, secrets, information and rights (e.g. for the involvement of telecommunications, transport and other auxiliary services as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisors, payment service providers or tax authorities). Within the scope of applicable law, we only pass on the data of contractual partners to third parties to the extent that this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes or for the fulfilment of legal obligations. The contractual partners are informed about other forms of processing, such as for marketing purposes, within the framework of this data protection declaration.

We inform the contractual partners of which data is required for the aforementioned purposes before or as part of the data collection, e.g. in online forms, by means of special marking (e.g. colors) or symbols (e.g. asterisks or similar), or personally.

We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, i.e. generally after four years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, e.g. as long as it must be retained for legal reasons of archiving (e.g. for tax purposes, usually ten years).

Payment

In the context of contractual and other legal relationships, on the basis of legal obligations or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer the data subjects efficient and secure payment options and use other service providers in addition to banks and credit institutions (collectively “payment service providers”).

The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered will only be processed by and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, but only information confirming or negative information about the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to check identity and creditworthiness. For this purpose, we refer to the terms and conditions and the data protection information of the payment service providers.

The terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective payment service providers, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications, apply to the payment transactions.

Collection of access data and log files: Access to our online offer is logged in the form of so-called “server log files”. The server log files can include the address and name of the websites and files accessed, date and time of access, data volumes transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and, as a rule, IP addresses and the requesting provider. The server log files can be used for security purposes, e.g. to avoid overloading the servers (especially in the case of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks), and to ensure the load on the servers and their stability; Legal basis:Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR). Deletion of data: Log file information is stored for a maximum period of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data whose further retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
E-mail sending and hosting: The web hosting services we use also include the sending, receiving and storage of e-mails. For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients and senders as well as other information regarding the sending of e-mails (e.g. the providers involved) and the content of the respective e-mails are processed. The aforementioned data may also be processed for the purposes of detecting SPAM. Please note that e-mails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted during transport, but (unless a so-called end-to-end encryption method is used) not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We can therefore assume no responsibility for the transmission of the e-mails between the sender and the receipt on our server; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Blogs and publication media

We use blogs or comparable means of online communication and publication (hereinafter referred to as “publication medium”). Readers’ data will only be processed for the purposes of the publication medium to the extent necessary for its presentation and communication between authors and readers or for security reasons.

Comments and posts: If users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses may be stored on the basis of our legitimate interests. This is done for our safety in case someone leaves illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to process the information of the users for the purpose of spam detection on the basis of our legitimate interests.

On the same legal basis, we reserve the right to store the IP addresses of users for the duration of surveys and to use cookies to avoid multiple votes.

The personal information provided in the context of the comments and contributions, any contact and website information as well as the content information will be permanently stored by us until the user objects; Legal basis:Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).
Akismet Anti-Spam Check: Akismet Anti-Spam Check – We use the “Akismet” service based on our legitimate interests. With the help of Akismet, comments from real people are distinguished from spam comments. For this purpose, all comment information is sent to a server in the United States, where it is analyzed and stored for four days for comparison purposes. If a comment has been classified as spam, the data will be stored beyond this time. This information includes the entered name, the e-mail address, the IP address, the comment content, the referrer, information about the browser used as well as the computer system and the time of the entry.

Users are welcome to use pseudonyms or refrain from entering their name or email address. You can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment system. That would be a shame, but unfortunately we don’t see any alternatives that work as effectively; Service Provider: Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86, Ireland; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://automattic.com; Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Basis for third-country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
DISQUS comment function: Based on our legitimate interests in efficient, secure and user-friendly comment management, we use the comment service DISQUS.

To use the DISQUS comment function, users can log in via their own DISQUS user account or an existing social media account (e.g. OpenID, Facebook, Twitter or Google).

Gravatar profile pictures: Profile pictures – We use the Gravatar service within our online offer and especially in the blog.

Gravatar is a service where users can log in and store profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave posts or comments on other online presences (especially blogs) with the respective e-mail address, their profile pictures can be displayed next to the posts or comments. For this purpose, the e-mail address provided by the users is transmitted to Gravatar in encrypted form for the purpose of checking whether a profile is stored for it. This is the sole purpose of transmitting the email address. It is not used for other purposes, but is deleted afterwards.

The use of Gravatar is based on our legitimate interests, as we use Gravatar to offer contributors and commenters the opportunity to personalize their posts with a profile picture.

By displaying the images, Gravatar learns the IP address of the users, as this is necessary for communication between a browser and an online service.

If users do not want a user picture associated with their Gravatar email address to appear in the comments, they should use an email address that is not on file with Gravatar to comment. We would also like to point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous email address or no email address at all if users do not want their email address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment system; Service Provider: Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86, Ireland; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://automattic.com; Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy.

Web analysis, monitoring and optimization

Web analysis (also referred to as “reach measurement”) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offer and can include behaviour, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of the reach analysis, we can, for example, see at what time our online offer or its functions or content are used most often, or invite them to reuse. It is also possible for us to understand which areas need optimization.

In addition to web analysis, we may also use test procedures to test and optimize different versions of our online offer or its components.

Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e. data combined into a usage process, may be created for these purposes and information may be stored in a browser or in an end device and then read. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and information on times of use. If users have consented to the collection of their location data vis-à-vis us or the providers of the services we use, the processing of location data is also possible.

In addition, the IP addresses of the users are stored. However, we use an IP masking process (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) is stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purpose of the respective procedures.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is consent. Otherwise, the user data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services).

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze the use of our online offer on the basis of a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain any unique data, such as names or email addresses. It is used to assign analysis information to a terminal device in order to identify which content users have accessed within one or more usage processes, which search terms they have used, accessed again or interacted with our online offering. The time of use and its duration are also stored, as well as the sources of the users who refer to our online offer and technical aspects of their devices and browsers. Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. However, Analytics provides rough geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and the city’s inferred latitude and longitude), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). In the case of EU data traffic, the IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocation data before it is immediately deleted. They are not logged, are not accessible and are not used for other purposes.

Online marketing

We process personal data for the purpose of online marketing, which may include, in particular, the marketing of advertising space or the presentation of advertising and other content (collectively referred to as “content”) based on potential interests of users and the measurement of their effectiveness.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in a file (the so-called “cookie”) or similar processes are used to store the information about the user relevant to the presentation of the aforementioned content. This may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, but also communication partners and technical information, such as the browser used, the computer system used, as well as information on usage times and functions used. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this can also be processed.

In addition, the IP addresses of the users are stored. However, we use available IP masking methods (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) for user protection. In general, no clear data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) is stored as part of the online marketing process, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the online marketing methods, do not know the actual user identity, but only the information stored in their profiles.

The statements in the profiles are usually stored in the cookies or by similar methods. These cookies can later be read out on other websites that use the same online marketing process and analysed for the purpose of displaying content, as well as supplemented with further data and stored on the server of the online marketing procedure provider.

Exceptionally, it is possible to assign clear data to the profiles, primarily if the users are members of a social network whose online marketing methods we use and the network connects the user profiles with the aforementioned information. We ask you to note that users can make additional agreements with the providers, for example by giving consent as part of the registration process.

As a matter of principle, we only have access to aggregated information about the success of our advertisements. However, as part of so-called conversion measurements, we can check which of our online marketing processes have led to a so-called conversion, i.e. to the conclusion of a contract with us, for example. Conversion measurement is used solely to analyze the success of our marketing measures.

Unless otherwise stated, we ask you to assume that cookies used will be stored for a period of two years.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is permission. Otherwise, the users’ data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Notes on revocation and objection:

We refer to the data protection information of the respective providers and the objection options specified for the providers (so-called “opt-out”). Unless an explicit opt-out option has been specified, there is the possibility that you switch off cookies in the settings of your browser. However, this may limit the functions of our online offer.

Presence in social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. This can result in risks for users, for example, because it could make it more difficult to enforce user rights.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The latter may in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. Therefore, cookies are usually stored on the users’ computers, in which the user’s usage behaviour and interests are stored. In addition, data can also be stored in the user profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (in particular if they are members of the respective platforms and logged in there).

For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the privacy policies and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the latter have access to the user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Plug-ins and embedded functions and content

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offer that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). This can be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter referred to uniformly as “content”).

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without an IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of these contents or functions. We make every effort to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party service providers may also use pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic to the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, the time of visit and other information on the use of our online offer, but may also be combined with such information from other sources.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is permission. Otherwise, the user data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Types of Data Processed: Usage Data (e.g., page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and features); Metalogical, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, time details, identification numbers, persons involved); Inventory data (e.g., full name, home address, contact information, customer number, etc.); Contact details (e.g. postal and email addresses or telephone numbers). Content data (e.g., textual or pictorial messages and posts, and information about them, such as authorship or time of creation).
Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offer and user-friendliness. Profiles with user-related information (creating user profiles).
Retention and deletion: Deletion as specified in the section “General information on data storage and deletion”. Storing cookies for up to 2 years (Unless otherwise specified, cookies and similar storage methods may be stored on users’ devices for a period of two years).

Google Fonts (obtained from Google Server): Acquisition of fonts (and symbols) for the purpose of a technically safe, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts and symbols with regard to topicality and loading times, their uniform display and consideration of possible licensing restrictions. The provider of the fonts is informed of the user’s IP address so that the fonts can be made available in the user’s browser. In addition, technical data (language settings, screen resolution, operating system, hardware used) are transmitted that are necessary for the provision of the fonts depending on the devices used and the technical environment. This data may be processed on a server of the font provider in the United States – When visiting our online offer, the users’ browsers send HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API (i.e. a software interface for retrieving the fonts). The Google Fonts Web API provides users with the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) of Google Fonts and then the fonts specified in the CCS. These HTTP requests include (1) the IP address used by the user to access the Internet, (2) the requested URL on the Google server, and (3) the HTTP headers, including the user-agent that describes the browser and operating system versions of the website visitors, and the referral URL (i.e., the web page on which the Google font is to be displayed). IP addresses are neither logged nor stored on Google servers and they are not analyzed. The Google Fonts Web API logs details of the HTTP requests (requested URL, user-agent, and referral URL). Access to this data is restricted and strictly controlled. The requested URL identifies the font families for which the user wants to load fonts. This data is logged so that Google can determine how often a particular font family is requested. With the Google Fonts Web API, the user-agent has to customize the font that is generated for the respective browser type. The user-agent is logged primarily for debugging and is used to generate aggregated usage statistics that are used to measure the popularity of font families. These aggregated usage statistics are published on the Google Fonts Analytics page. Finally, the referral URL is logged so that the data can be used for production maintenance and an aggregated report on the top integrations can be generated based on the number of font requests. Google says it does not use any of the information collected by Google Fonts to profile end users or serve targeted ads; Service Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://fonts.google.com/; Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; Basis for third-country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
