Personal data in the sense of Article 4 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address, email addresses, etc.
The responsible party for the processing of personal data iSd Art. 4 (7) GDPR is:
vlabs innovation GmbH
Seidengasse 20/3
1070 Vienna, Austria
Email: office@vlabs.at (see our imprint).
As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to the personal data concerning you in accordance with the legal provisions:
You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. When processing your rights, we may ask you for proof of identity.
We reserve the right, in the event of a legal obligation, to disclose information about you if such disclosure is required of us by lawful authorities or law enforcement bodies (legal basis: Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR).
In the course of your visit to this website, we will automatically collect the following personal data about you:
In addition, we may ask you to provide personal information, such as your name and email address, on our website in order to provide you with certain services. There is no obligation to actually provide the data that we ask you to provide on our website. However, if you do not do so, you may not be able to use all the features of the website.
Data processing is based on the legal provisions of § 96 para 3 TKG as well as Art 6 para 1 lit a (consent) and/or lit b (necessary for the performance of the contract) and/or lit f (safeguarding the legitimate interests of the controller) of the GDPR. We process your data for the following purposes:
We process the personal data specified in more detail above in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, the other relevant data protection regulations and only to the extent necessary. Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, the aforementioned purposes also represent our legitimate interests. The processing of log data serves statistical purposes and to improve the quality of our website, in particular the stability and security of the connection (legal basis is Article 6 para 1 lit f GDPR).
In the case of mere informational use of the website, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If required for the above-mentioned purposes, we pass on the collected data to the relevant internal departments or to external IT service providers, including Google Analytics (see point 3.7) for processing in accordance with the required purposes (for the presentation of the website and the creation of content).
We will store your data for as long as is necessary to provide our services to you or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it. Longer storage will only take place to the extent necessary to investigate identified attacks on our website and, beyond that, only until the end of applicable statutes of limitations, statutory retention periods or any legal disputes in which the data is needed as evidence. After that, the data will be deleted.
When communicating and/or cooperating with us, e.g. by email, via a contact form on our website, the data you provide (e-mail address, your name and telephone number if applicable, or the personal data provided within the communication) will be stored by us, e.g. in order to answer your questions or to comply with the communication required for our business purposes. We delete the data accrued in this context after the storage is no longer necessary, unless there are legal retention obligations or statutes of limitations must be observed.
When processing data that arises in the course of communication, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with legal requirements, for internal review or in accordance with the respective communication request.
So-called cookies are used on our website. A cookie is a small file that can be stored on your computer when you visit a website. Basically, cookies are used to provide users with additional functions on a website. For example, they can be used to make it easier for you to navigate a website. Cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on your computer.
Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies).
Other cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). When cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information on an individual scale, such as browser and location data and IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie.
If you want to control cookies on your computer, you can set your browser preferences to notify you when a website wants to store cookies. You can also block or delete cookies if they have already been stored on your computer. If you want to know more about how to set these steps, please use the "Help" function in your browser. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your online experience and prevent you from fully using this website.
We use social media plug-ins to recommend content from social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram or Linked-In. For this purpose, we use a two-stage procedure. Data is only transmitted to third parties when users click on one of the icons displayed in the social media bar. In this process, we have neither influence nor access to cookies set by Facebook, Instagram or Linked-In.
At most, our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established as soon as you start playing a video. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to YouTube's privacy policy.
This website uses the product Google Maps from Google LLC. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data by Google LLC, its agents and third parties. For more Information refer to the terms of use of Google Maps.
We use the Google Tag Manager on our pages. Google Tag Manager is an application that allows us to serve small code elements (tags) on our Sites based on user-defined rules. Such tags can be used, for example, to measure visitor behavior (Google Analytics).
The Tag Manager itself does not write cookies and does not collect personal data, but it can play tags that collect such data. The basis for the Cookie Consent Tool offered on our pages is the use of the Google Tag Manager, which interprets the settings made by visitors and then plays tags on the page or not.
Our website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how you use this website. The information generated by such a cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address and the URLs of the web pages accessed and the attributes of the website) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
The data obtained in this way is used to optimize our website and advertising measures. Our website uses the IP anonymization option offered by Google Analytics. Your IP address will therefore be shortened/anonymized by Google as soon as Google receives your IP address. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data by Google.
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics on this website via our "Cookie Management Tool" (link "Cookie Settings" at the bottom of the page) (an opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website). More information on Google's terms of use and Google's privacy policy.
Furthermore, we use the Signals function in Google Analytics. Google Signals enables an extended analysis of the user behavior of visitors who have visited our pages with their logged-in Google account, among other things, and have agreed to personalized advertising in their Google account. These are, for example, analyses of cross-device use of our pages (aggregation of multiple end devices), the ability to perform cross-device remarketing for logged-in Google users, and the storage of socio-demographic data (such as age group, geographic data,...) in the Google Analytics database.
With Google Optimize, another tool of the Google marketing platform is used on our websites. Google Optimize allows us to increase the interaction rate of our visitors by playing different test variants of our websites, among other things by optimizing usability. Such tests are either A/B tests or multivariate tests. If Google Optimize is used on the website, cookies are used to optimize and analyze the behavior of visitors to our website.
We use Google AdWords Conversion Tracking to measure the success of our advertising measures. After certain target achievements on our website ("conversions") - such as sending the contact form - this target achievement is recorded by Google. Google can thus measure the number of target achievements. In addition, Google will use previously set cookies to assign which advertisements were clicked on beforehand and were thus decisive for the target achievement.
Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If users visit certain pages of the Google Ads customers' websites and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customers can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie.
Google processes this data on servers in the USA, but will not link it to personal data from your Google account. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, via browser settings that generally disable the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the "www.googleadservices.com" domain. Find more information on conversion tracking in Google's privacy policy.
We may use the remarketing or "similar target groups" function of Google. This allows us to play personalized advertising to you on suitable advertising spaces on other websites. For this purpose, Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of the website users. This number is used to record visits to the website as well as anonymized data about the use of the website. No personal data of the users of the website is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account previously accessed product and information areas. According to its own statements, Google does not combine the data collected in the course of remarketing with your personal data. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing. This function is only activated after you have agreed to the use of cookies when visiting our site. You can control the setting at any time via our "Cookie Management Tool" (link "Cookie Settings" at the bottom of the page).
Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the opt-out instructions provided there. Further information on Google Remarketing as well as Google's privacy policy can be found here.
When you visit our Facebook page, personal data (documentation of usage behavior) is processed by Facebook using cookies. From this information, anonymized statistical data about page activity is created and automatically provided to us (Insights). We are jointly responsible with Facebook for this data processing pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. In doing so, we rely on our legitimate interests. Without the processing of this data, we would not be able to maintain the presence and optimization of our offer on Facebook. You can find more information about this here.
Plug-ins from Facebook that are used by us store personal data of visitors to our website in accordance with Facebook's data usage guidelines. This also applies to users who are not logged in or are not members of Facebook. You can find more information about this in Facebook's privacy policy.
We also use the "pixel" from Facebook on our websites. This allows us to track the behavior of users after they have clicked on an ad on Facebook. This allows us to evaluate ads for statistical and market research purposes and optimize future advertising measures.
Another benefit is to recognize whether and which interactions were carried out on the website (e.g. download) (see Event Tracking). This function is also used to present interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") to visitors of this website when visiting the social network Facebook (see Custom Audiences). For this purpose, Facebook Pixel has been implemented on our website. Via Facebook Pixel, a direct connection to the Facebook servers is established when visiting the website. In doing so, it is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account.
No personal data is provided to us in the process. At the same time, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook itself, so that the connection to the respective Facebook user profile is possible for Facebook. Facebook may use this data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. The consent to this is within the scope of Facebook and cannot be influenced by us. You can find more information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as about your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, in Facebook's privacy policy.
In addition to the integration of the Facebook pixel, our websites also use the associated event tracking. An event is a specific action that a visitor takes on our website, such as a contact request or a newsletter subscription. This helps us to better measure the success of our online campaigns and how successful they were.
Our website uses Facebook's "Custom Audiences" remarketing function, which uses the Facebook Pixel installed on our website to recognize logged-in visitors, along with the information on which of our pages the visit took place. These visitors can then be served targeted advertisements.
We also use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website. The LinkedIn Insight Tag uses browser cookies to collect data on our websites, including page activity, URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and timestamps if users are active LinkedIn members. IP addresses are shortened or hashed. This allows us to track users' behavior after they have clicked on an ad on LinkedIn. This allows us to evaluate ads for statistical and market research purposes and optimize future advertising measures. See LinkedIn's cookie policy for more information.
This website uses the services of Active Campaign for sending newsletters. The provider is the US provider ActiveCampaign, LLC, 150 N. Michigan Ave Suite 1230, Chicago, IL, US, USA. Active Campaign is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. In order to receive the newsletter offered on our website, you can register via our form. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure. First, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided, asking for confirmation. The registration only becomes effective when you click on the activation link contained in the confirmation email. We use your data transmitted to us exclusively for sending the newsletter, which may contain information or offers.
When you enter data for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. your e-mail address), this data is stored on Active Campaign's servers in the USA. Active Campaign has a certification according to the "EU-US Privacy-Shield". The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.
Active Campaign allows us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Active Campaign, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Active Campaign's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want any analysis by Active Campaign, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of Active Campaign after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.
We have concluded a so-called "Data-Processing-Agreement" with Active Campaign, in which we oblige Active Campaign to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.
For more details, please refer to Active Campaign's privacy policy and the privacy shield certification.

We use Calendly, a scheduling and organization tool, for our website. The service provider is the American company Calendly LCC, 271 17th St NW, Ste 1000, Atlanta, Georgia, 30363, USA.
Calendly also processes data in the USA, among other places.

These clauses oblige Calendly to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data also outside the EU. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision as well as the clauses here.
You can learn more about the data processed by in Calendly's privacy policy.
Some of the recipients listed above may be located outside of Austria or the EU or may process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in Austria.
