Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. We only process data according to Austrian and EU law - especially the GDPR.

We have a few fundamental principles:

We don’t ask you for personal data unless we truly need it to provide the service.
We use third-party services that help us provide DataBriefing to you. You can always find the current list at our sub-processor page.
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights. We don't sell your data to anyone.
We store as little personal data as possible and aim to make it as simple as possible for you to see and control what data is stored.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, DataBriefing collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. DataBriefing’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how DataBriefing’s visitors use its website.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to DataBriefing’s websites choose to interact with DataBriefing in ways that require DataBriefing to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that DataBriefing gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at DataBriefing.com to provide an email address either directly or via logging in using a Google account. Those who engage in transactions with DataBriefing – by purchasing a paid plan, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, DataBriefing collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with DataBriefing. Where payments are processed by a third party service this service may collect the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. DataBriefing does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

DataBriefing discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on DataBriefing’s behalf or to provide services available at DataBriefing’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using DataBriefing’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. DataBriefing will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, DataBriefing discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when DataBriefing believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of DataBriefing, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of DataBriefing and have supplied your email address, DataBriefing may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with DataBriefing and our products. We primarily use our product blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. DataBriefing takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Third parties

DataBriefing uses sub-processors to provide its service. Information about the current sub-processors, their location and function, may be found at the list of subprocessors.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. DataBriefing uses cookies to help DataBriefing identify and track visitors, their usage of DataBriefing website, and their website access preferences. DataBriefing visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using DataBriefing’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of DataBriefing’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Google Analytics

Our website uses the web analytics service Google Analytics (Google LLC, United States). For this purpose, cookies are used that allow an analysis of the use of the website by its users. The information generated thereby is transmitted to the server of the provider and stored there. Your IP address is captured but pseudonymized immediately. As a result, only a rough localization is possible.

You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored. We have accepted a data processing agreement with the provider.

The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on an adequacy finding under Art. 45 GDPR by the European Commission. Additionally Google is ISO certified (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018) by a third-party and has conducted SOC 2/3 audits.

The data processing takes place on the basis of Austrian law § 96 Abs 3 TKG as well as the art 6 Abs 1 a) (consent) and f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

Our goal in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data are pseudonymized. The user data is kept for the duration of 26 months.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display text. Google Fonts is built in a way that it has no access to private information like cookies. The request to download a certain font family is sent to a subdomain (fonts.googleapis.com) which ensures that authentication cookies a user potentially has from other Google services are not sent to the server. Nevertheless the user's IP address might be accessible by the font server of Google (Google LLC, United States). Google has stated that they don't collect any personal information while serving Google Fonts.

The relationship with the font provider is based on an adequacy finding under Art. 45 GDPR by the European Commission. Additionally Google is ISO certified (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018) by a third-party and has conducted SOC 2/3 audits.
