Privacy policy
This privacy policy ("Policy") describes how the website operator ("Website Operator", "we", "us" or "our") collects, protects and uses the personal data ("Personal Data") that you ("User", "you" or "your") provide on the archisphere.at website and any of its products or services (together "Website" or "Services").
It also describes the choices you have about our use of your personal information and how you can access and update that information. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.
Automatic collection of information
When you visit the website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This information may include information such as your device's IP address, browser type and version, operating system type and version, language preferences or the web page you visited before coming to our website, the pages of our website you visit, the time you spend on those pages, information you search for on our website, access times and dates and other statistics.
The automatically collected information is only used to identify potential cases of abuse and to compile statistical information about website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in a way that would identify a particular user of the system.
Collection of personal information
You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information that would allow someone to identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. However, if you wish to use some of the features of the website, you will be asked to provide certain personal information (e.g. your name and email address). We receive and store any information that you knowingly provide to us when you complete online forms on the website. Where required, this information may include:
- Personal details such as name etc.
- Contact information such as email address, etc.
You can choose not to provide us with your personal information, but then you may not be able to use some of the features of the website. Users who are unsure about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us.
Storage of personal information
We will retain and use your personal data for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We may use any aggregated data derived from or included in your personal data after you have updated or deleted it, but not in a way that would identify you personally. After the retention period has expired, the personal data will be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right of erasure, the right of rectification and the right of data portability can no longer be exercised after the expiry of the retention period.
Use and processing of the information collected
In order to provide you with our website and services or to comply with a legal obligation, we need to collect and use certain personal information. If you do not provide the information we request, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you have requested. Some of the information we collect comes directly from you through our website. However, we may also collect personal information about you from other sources. Any information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:
- Answering enquiries and offering support
- Improve the user experience
- Operate and run our website and services
The processing of your personal data depends on how you interact with our website, where in the world you are located and whether any of the following apply: (i) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes. However, this does not apply if the processing of personal data is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act or European data protection laws; (ii) the provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for pre-contractual obligations arising therefrom; (iii) the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) the processing is in connection with a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party.
Note that under some legislations we may be permitted to process information until you object to such processing (by opting out) without relying on consent or any other of the following legal bases In each case, we are happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is a legal or contractual requirement or a condition of entering into a contract.
Information transmission and storage
Depending on your location, data transfers may involve the transfer and storage of your information in a country other than your own. You have the right to find out about the legal basis for data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to an international organisation governed by international law or established by two or more countries, such as the UN, and the security measures we take to protect your information. Should such a transfer take place, you can find out more by reading the relevant sections of this document or by contacting us using the information provided in the contact section.
The rights of the users
You can exercise certain rights in relation to your data that we process. In particular, you have the right to: (i) you have the right to withdraw your consent where you have previously given your consent to the processing of your data; (ii) you have the right to object to the processing of your data where the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent; (iii) you have the right to know whether data is being processed by us, to obtain disclosure of certain aspects of the processing and to obtain a copy of the data which is the subject of the processing; (iv) you have the right to verify the accuracy of your data and to request that it be updated or rectified; (v) you have the right, in certain circumstances, to restrict the processing of your data, in which case we will not process your data for any purpose other than storage; (vi) you have the right, in certain circumstances, to request that we erase your personal data; (vii) you have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it freely transferred to another controller. This provision applies on condition that your data are processed by automated means and that the processing is based on your consent, on a contract of which you are a part or on pre-contractual obligations.
The right to object to processing
Where personal data are processed in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority vested in us or for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us, you may object to such processing by providing a ground relating to your particular situation in support of the objection. However, you should be aware that if your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may object to such processing at any time without giving any reason. To find out whether we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you can refer to the relevant sections of this document.

Do not follow signals
Some browsers include a "do not track" feature that signals to the websites you visit that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to the collection of personally identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online service as they move around different websites over time. The way browsers communicate the "do not track" signal is not yet consistent. As a result, this website is not yet set up to interpret or respond to the "Do Not Track" signals transmitted by your browser. Nevertheless, as described in more detail in this policy, we limit the use and collection of your personal information.
Links to other websites
Our website contains links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other websites or third parties. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that may collect personal information.
Information security
We secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorised access, use, alteration and disclosure of personal information under our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that (i) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet that are beyond our control; (ii) the security, integrity and confidentiality of all information and data exchanged between you and our website cannot be guaranteed; and (iii) despite our best efforts, such information and data may be viewed or tampered with by third parties during transmission.
Data breach
In the event that we become aware that the security of the Site has been compromised or that personal information of users has been disclosed to unaffiliated third parties as a result of external activities, including but not limited to security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take appropriate action, including but not limited to investigating, reporting, and notifying and cooperating with law enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify data subjects if we believe there is a reasonable risk of harm to the user as a result of the breach or if notification is otherwise required by law. If we do so, we will send you an email.
Legal disclosure
We will disclose any information we collect, use or receive when required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or respond to a government request.
