Privacy & Data Protection
Digital services
The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions applicable in Austria (GDPR link).
In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in the context of our websites. This privacy policy applies to all services and websites offered and operated by Widder Auktionen and Kunsthandel Widder GmbH.
As a consumer of our digital services, you are obliged to comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Act. You agree that the data you actively and voluntarily provide may be used by us for marketing and sales activities. You agree to receive information material by telephone, e-mail (also in the form of newsletters or mass mailings), SMS, post (trade fair and gallery invitations, catalog mailings), etc. You can revoke this consent at any time without giving reasons.
Purpose of data processing
When you connect to our web server, your browser automatically sends data that is processed by us. Data that you have actively and voluntarily transmitted to us, e.g. by visiting our website or filling out the form fields of the contact form, the login and registration or for participation in auctions, is stored for an indefinite period of time, but at least as long as it is necessary for the provision of our services. The following data is stored:
* Date and time of access
* Name of the page accessed
* IP address: Is recorded to determine the country from which you are connecting. This allows us to prioritize regional content if necessary.
* URL: Identifies the specific sub-page you have visited. This can be used to determine which subpages are particularly popular.
* Referrer: Is transmitted by your browser and may contain information about which page you came to us from by clicking on a link. We can use this information to find out which websites link to us.
* User agent string: The identifier used by the browser, usually including browser type and version as well as information on whether the call is made from a mobile device. We can use this information to optimize the website for your device (e.g. mobile/desktop version, caching, loading times, etc.).
Contact form and e-mail
If you contact us via the form on our websites or by e-mail, we store your data for the purpose of processing your inquiry. In addition to the data you provide (e-mail, name, address, telephone number, etc.), we also record the text of your message and any attached files and photos. This data is stored for an indefinite period, but at least for as long as it is necessary to provide our services. If you do not wish to receive any further messages from us in the future, you can revoke the sending of e-mails at any time.
Transfer and transmission
If we provide service providers (e.g. accounting, tax consultants, shipping companies, insurance companies) with data to fulfill our orders (e.g. sale of a picture via our web store), they are obliged to use the data securely in accordance with the GDPR and this data may only be used within the scope of the order placed.
Transfer of data on the instruction of authorities
If the disclosure of data is ordered by an Austrian authority, e.g. if legal proceedings require this, we reserve the right to disclose data.
Data disclosure, data deletion
In principle, you have the right to rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. You also have the right to request which of your data we have stored. To do so, please send an e-mail to: office@widderauktionen.com
