Duty to inform according to Art. 14 Para. 1 of ODR-VO: The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution, which you can access via the external link http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are not obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Disclaimer: The tests offered are not medical health analyses. They should not be understood as medical examinations, diagnoses, treatments, preventions, or assessments of disease risk. We do not collect genetic data. The test is intended for individuals over the age of 18.

We have written this privacy policy (version 21.10.2018-221076396) to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Data Protection Act (DSG), what information we collect, how we use data and what decision-making options you have as a visitor to this website.

Unfortunately, it is in the nature of this documentation to sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Automatic Data Storage 

When you visit websites nowadays, certain information is automatically created and stored, just like on this website. When you visit our website as you are doing right now, our web server (the computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as

in files (web server log files).

Web server log files are typically stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data but cannot exclude the possibility that this data will be viewed in the event of unlawful behavior. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f of the GDPR (legitimacy of processing), which allows legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website by capturing web server log files.

Personal data that you submit to us electronically on this website, such as your name, email address, address, or other personal information in the transmission of a form or comments in the blog, are used by us together with the time and IP address for the stated purpose only, kept safe and not disclosed to third parties.

We, therefore, only use your personal data for communication with those visitors who have expressly requested contact and for the processing of the services and products offered on this website. We do not pass on your personal data without consent but cannot exclude the possibility that this data will be viewed in the event of unlawful behavior.

If you send us personal data via email – outside of this website – we cannot guarantee secure transmission and the protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data via unencrypted email.

The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 a GDPR (legitimacy of processing), which means that you give us consent to process the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time – a simple email will suffice; you can find our contact details in the imprint.

According to the provisions of the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), you are generally entitled to the following rights:

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have been infringed in any other way, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority, which in Austria is the Data Protection Authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.

We use https to transmit data securely on the Internet (data protection through technology design Article 25 (1) GDPR). The use of TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, allows us to ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this security feature during data transmission by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of our web address.

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. A cookie is a short data packet exchanged between web browsers and web servers, meaningless to them but significant to the web application, such as an online store, including the content of a virtual shopping cart.

There are two types of cookies: first-party cookies created by our website, and third-party cookies created by other websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Examples of cookie data:

There are three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, ensuring the website's basic functions; functional cookies, ensuring the website's performance; and targeted cookies, enhancing user experience.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. Cookie settings and deleting cookies: If you want to see which cookies are stored in your browser, change cookie settings or delete cookies, you can find this in your browser settings: Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari; Firefox: Delete cookies to remove the data that websites have placed on your computer; Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome; Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies. If you do not want data storage in cookies, you can set up your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow this only on a case-by-case basis. You can delete cookies that are already on your computer or deactivate cookies at any time. The procedure varies depending on the browser; the best way is to search for instructions in Google using the search term "delete cookies Chrome" or "disable cookies Chrome" if you are using a Chrome browser, or swap "Chrome" for the name of your browser, e.g., Edge, Firefox, Safari. If you generally do not allow us to use cookies, i.e., you deactivate them via browser settings, some functions and pages might not work as expected.

When you sign up for our newsletter, you submit the personal data mentioned above and grant us the right to contact you by email. The data stored during the newsletter registration process is used exclusively for our newsletter and is not shared with any third parties.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter – the link for this can be found at the bottom of every newsletter –, then we will delete all data associated with the newsletter registration.
