Privacy Policy

 

The protection of your privacy when using our website www.gourmetfein.com, our webshop, and our “Leberkäse Finder” app is of particular importance to us. Therefore, we thoroughly inform you below about the processing of personal data. GF Fleischproduktion GmbH & Co KG is responsible for data protection. GF Fleischproduktion GmbH & Co KG strictly adheres to the provisions of the Austrian Data Protection Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when using and processing personal data.

1. Data Security

GF Fleischproduktion GmbH & Co KG has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including against loss, manipulation, or unauthorized access. The measures taken are subject to regular review and are continuously adapted to the state of the art.

2. Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data

We only process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Data Protection Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data processing in the webshop is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 para. 3 TKG and Art 6 para. 1 lit b of the GDPR.

We collect personal data that you provide to us as a user of the website and/or as a customer, for example, in the context of an inquiry or registration, when placing an order, contacting our internal sales department, or participating in competitions. The personal data you provide includes, for example, contact details, date of birth, and payment information.

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

– Creation and management of your personal gourmetfein user account
– Processing of your online orders
– Sending an order confirmation by email
– Contacting you in case of problems with the delivery of your items
– Sending promotional offers such as newsletters (see section Newsletter)
– Matching your customer account during credit card verification
– Age verification for online purchases

We would like to point out that the data you provide will be stored for the purpose of contract processing. The data you provide is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot conclude the contract with you. Data will not be transmitted to third parties, with the exception of the transmission of credit card data to the processing banks / payment service providers for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport/shipping company commissioned by us for the delivery of goods, and to our tax advisor for the fulfillment of our tax obligations.

After the purchase process is canceled, the data stored by us will be deleted. In the event of a contract being concluded, we will retain the data, including your user data, for as long as necessary to fulfill the aforementioned purposes or as long as we are legally obliged to do so.

Our concern in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website presence. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymized for instant transfers and credit card payments.

For the PayPal payment method, the data protection guidelines of the company you accepted when using PayPal apply. GF Fleischproduktion GmbH & Co. KG has no influence on the data protection policy of this company.

Without the explicit consent of the customer, the provider will not use customer data for advertising, market, or opinion research purposes.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for this purpose. When you access our website, a connection is established to Google’s servers via software, and data is transmitted to Google servers, some of which are located in the USA. Google Analytics also uses cookies to store information about the website user and to analyze website usage by website users. This website uses the “IP anonymization activation” function.

According to Google, Google will use the collected data to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.
