Augenzentrum Wienerwald Privacy Policy pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR

Last updated: 20/01/2026

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Below, we inform you about the data processing carried out in connection with our website.

Controller

Dr. Karin Kofler is responsible for data processing. No data protection officer has been appointed.

Details of data processing

When you visit a website, certain information is generated and stored automatically. When you visit our website, our web server (the computer on which this website is hosted) automatically stores the following data:

• The address (URL) of the page accessed;
• Browser and browser version;
• The operating system used;
• The amount of data transmitted;
• The address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL);
• The hostname and IP address of the device from which access takes place;
• Date and time.

On the basis of the IP address together with the time of access, it is possible to identify the subscriber of the internet connection. However, this requires the cooperation of the internet provider of the subscriber. No further data processing (cookies, tracking, etc.) takes place in connection with visits to our website. No automated individual decision-making takes place.

Use of data

Your data is used only for the administration of this website. The data is not used for any other purposes.

Legal basis of processing

We process your personal data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest: the data processing activities in question are necessary for the administration and maintenance of the general functionality of a website. Without the processing of this data, the operation of this website would not be possible. Use of the website by users is voluntary and is not a prerequisite for using our services.

Retention periods

The data is stored only for as long as is technically and organisationally necessary.

Processor

For the administration of this website, we make use of a processor:
World4You Internet Services GmbH

Recipients of data/transfers to third countries

Data for the administration of the website is only transferred if an attack or unlawful access is suspected and the data must be passed on to technical experts and security authorities for clarification and prosecution. Furthermore, we cannot rule out that these data may be accessed by law enforcement authorities in the event of unlawful behaviour. Data is not transferred to recipients in third countries or to international organisations.

Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

Under the provisions of the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), you generally have the following rights:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), unless this would conflict with documentation obligations under the Austrian Medical Act 1998 (Ärztegesetz 1998)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

The exercise of the right to restriction of processing and the right to object cannot be technically ensured due to the worldwide accessibility of the website without prior verification of the user’s identity.

Supervisory authority

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you can contact the Austrian Data Protection Authority (https://www.dsb.gv.at).

With regard to the data processing operations provided for in the Austrian Medical Act 1998, the rights and obligations under Art. 13, 14, 18 and 21 GDPR are excluded (§ 3b para. 2 Austrian Medical Act 1998).
