Data protection policy
The protection of your personal data is of the utmost importance to us. We will thus only process your data in compliance with the pertinent legal provisions (GDPR, 2021 Austrian Telecommunications Act (Telekommunikationsgesetz, TKG)). This Privacy Statement informs you about the most important aspects of data processing that will take place when you use our websites.
What are personal data?
Personal data are any information concerning a natural person. It is essential that, as soon as a natural person can be identified based on data (for example by reference to a user identifier), such data are considered personal data. Your personal data include, among others, your name, your address, your phone number or your date of birth. Statistical information that cannot be linked to you, neither directly nor indirectly (such as the popularity of individual websites that we offer or the number of users per site) is not considered personal data.
Who is responsible for collecting and processing your personal data?
Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft is responsible for collecting and processing your data. If you have any questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us:

In order to be able to process requests and respond to follow-up questions, the processing of relevant personal data is necessary for the performance of (pre)contractual obligations and/or based on legitimate interests. We will not pass on these data without your consent.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device. Setting cookies allows website operators to derive user behaviour information. If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you may select browser settings that will prompt your browser to inform you before cookies are set. You may also permit cookies to be set on a case-by-case basis. Please refer to the instructions for use of your browser for further information on how you can do this. If you reject certain technical and/or functional cookies, this might restrict our website’s functionality. Cookies will remain stored on your device until they are manually or automatically deleted.
It is generally possible to use LBG’s websites anonymously, only permitting the setting of technically necessary cookies.
When you first access LBG’s websites, you may accept or reject cookies via the implemented cookie solution. By clicking on “Save selection” or “Accept all” you will give us your corresponding consent.
Technically necessary cookies: Technically necessary cookies are indispensable for a website’s use, e.g. for language selection. Users do not have to consent to the setting of such cookies.
Technically non-necessary cookies: Non-necessary cookies enhance a website’s functionality and collect further data. The use of LBG’s websites is also possible without these cookies. LBG uses:
- analytics cookies: to produce statistics without creating profiles, to measure the number of page views and to improve general site navigation.
- social network cookies: to display content from social media platforms.
It is also possible to delete cookies that have already been set. Please refer to the instructions for use of your browser for further information on how you can do this.
Analytics cookies
As website operator, LBG uses the open-source web analytics solution Matomo (formerly known as Piwik) to analyse user behaviour. This software allows us to produce user traffic statistics for our websites, analysing and evaluating from where users are referred to our websites and how they move around on our websites. User behaviour is not tracked beyond LBG’s websites or when users move on to other services.
The access data of website users are only collected for statistical purposes and used in a pooled form to operate and optimise our websites and guarantee their security (largely legitimate interests).
The generated information is transferred to our own server and stored there. It is used to improve the overall user-friendliness, effectiveness and security of our websites. Cookies are also used to measure the number of page views and for general site navigation. Please note that cookies are used to store the subscriber’s IP data in an anonymised form for this purpose.
Server log files
In order to optimise the website’s system performance, user friendliness and provision of useful information about our services, the website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that will then automatically be transferred to us by your browser. This information includes your Internet protocol address (IP address), browser and language settings, operating system, referrer URL, your Internet service provider, as well as date/time. These data are not merged with any personal data sources. If there is specific indication which gives rise to suspicions of illegal use, we reserve the right to review the data.
Storage period
We generally store personal data only for as long as we need them to fulfil the above stated purposes or to conform to contractual or statutory obligations. We delete personal data that we no longer need from our systems or anonymise them to make sure that website users can no longer be identified.
Transfer of data
In general, personal data collected in the course of website use will not be transferred to any third parties, unless such a transfer is required for us to be able to fulfil our duties or comply with statutory/official obligations.
Personal data may also be processed by our service providers on our behalf. Processors include in particular IT service providers or providers of any other Internet and software solutions that are required for the operation of our website. All our processors generally only process data on our behalf and according to our instructions for the above purposes.
Your rights
You have the right to access to, rectification and erasure of personal data, the right to data portability, the right to withdraw your consent and the right to object. If you believe that the processing of your data is in violation of applicable data privacy law or that your data privacy rights are violated in any other way, you may lodge a complaint with the Austrian data protection agency:
