We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are respected both by us and by our external service providers.

No personally identifiable user profiles are created on this website.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Data that is logged when users visit the Kubo Austria’s website will only be disclosed to third parties if this is required by law or court ruling, or if it becomes necessary for legal action or prosecution in the event of attacks on the IONOS’s hosts and web infrastructure.

Personal data provided when ordering informational materials, brochures or products will only be used within the Kubo Austria to process the order.

This information will not be disclosed to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes without the user’s express consent.

Protection of minors

Persons under the age of 14 should not communicate any personal data to websites without the consent of parents or guardians. We do not request personal data from children or young persons. We do not knowingly collect such data nor pass it on to third parties.

Social media privacy policy

The ongoing debate about data protection in social networks is a matter that the AKubo Austria takes very seriously. At this time, there is no clear legal position as to whether and to what extent all the social networks’ services comply with European data protection provisions.

We would therefore like to expressly draw your attention to the fact that the future Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube services used by the Kubo Austria collect and store users’ data (for instance, personal information, IP address) as described in their privacy policy and use it for commercial purposes.

The Kubo Austria has no influence on the collection and use of data by social networks. It has no knowledge about the scope, location or duration of data storage, nor to what extent the networks comply with existing requirements to delete data, how data is analysed or linked, or to whom the data is disclosed.

Links to third-party websites

Our website contains links to third-party web pages. We have no control over these providers’ compliance with data protection provisions.

Your rights

You have the fundamental rights to request information, rectification, deletion, restriction, data portability, withdrawal of consent, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data breaches data protection law or that your rights under data protection law have been infringed in any other way, you may file a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde).
