Nowotny Technology Advisory is pleased to welcome you on our website. Protecting your personal data and privacy is a major concern to us. This privacy notice informs you about data processing on our website.

​

Processing and using your personal data

The term personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name or your email address. We apply the principle of data reduction and data minimisation. Personal data is only used to the extent required and for legally authorised purposes.

 

We process your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

For communication purposes we exclusively use personal data used by you in the context of general communication.

 

Apart from that, we process your personal data only with your previous consent and/or in the case of a prevailing legitimate interest.

 

External service providers we partner with on our website, if any, are selected with the greatest possible care. They are bound in regards to nature and extent of data processing tasks and to comply with our data protection standards.

Log file information is automatically collected when visiting our website. Such information includes browser type and version, the operating system used, the so-called referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited website, if you have accessed our website through a hyperlink), and date and time of accessing the webpage. This data cannot be assigned to certain persons. We do not link it with other data sources. Your system’s IP address will not be stored.

 

The data collected is exclusively used for the anonymous analysis of user behaviour, aiming to improve our website. No individual user behaviour will be analysed.

Web analysis

Improving our offer and our website (legitimate interest) is a major concern to us. We value our users’ privacy and, therefore, we pseudonymize your user data.
