We take privacy very seriously. The customer agrees to the data that he/she provides being stored and processed in compliance with the code for the protection of personal data. The customer further expressly agrees to his/her address details being stored in our customer files and declares him/herself in agreement with the receipt of customer information, until revoked. Those data will of course be treated in strict confidence and not divulged to third parties.
Personal data are collected, processed, and utilized by Sight e.U. only under strict observation of current Austrian data protection legislation (the Data Protection Act of 2000, the Data Protection Regulatory Act of 2018, and the General Data Protection Regulation GDPR).
The following information explains what data are collected during your visit to our website and for what purpose they are used.

Cooperation with Contract Processors and Third Parties
Insofar as Sight e.U. discloses data to other persons and companies, transfers data to these, or otherwise grants such parties access to data, this shall take place solely on a basis established in law (permission from you the user, legal obligation, legitimate interest on the part of Sight e.U. —for instance processing of data by contract processors on the basis of a contract processing agreement—or a contractual performance-related requirement).
Your Rights as User of the Website

Deletion of Data
Insofar as deletion is not prevented by a statutory retention period, the data stored with us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for the purpose for which they were collected.
Use of Cookies
We also hereby inform you that cookies are used when visiting our website. Cookies are small files or other form of information storage transmitted by our webserver or by third party webservers to users’ web browsers and stored there for later retrieval. The cookies used by us are session cookies and are deleted from your hard drive when your browser is closed. In addition, we use cookies to statistically analyze use of our website within the framework of the web analysis service Google Analytics (see below). These data are collected on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Insofar as you have previously given your permission, on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR, within the framework of your visit to our website cookies from third-party providers are used to survey and analyze your usage behavior.

Social Plug-ins
This website uses social media plug-ins from facebook.com, instagram.com, plus.google.com, pinterest.com, youtube.com, and vimeo.com. This is indicated by the relevant logo.
When visiting a page on which such a logo appears, the browser automatically connects with the server of the social media service in question. The latter thus receives a range of data and learns which specific page the user is visiting. The website operator has no influence on what data are passed on to the platform in question. This data transfer also takes place independently of whether the user clicks on the plug-in.
If the user is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Instagram, Google Plus, Pinterest, YouTube, or Vimeo, the plug-in can set up a direct link to the user’s account. If the user writes a comment on the website or “likes” the website via the plug-in, the plug-in communicates this information to Facebook and associates the information with the user’s account. If you do not wish this to happen, you must first log out of your social media account.
In addition, you should also be aware of the data protection policy of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo, Pinterest, YouTube, and Google Plus. You also have the option of installing an add-on that blocks social media plug-ins and thus prevents such data transfer.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Within the framework of Google Analytics, cookies are placed on your computer to allow a statistical analysis of your use of our website. To this end, we have concluded a contract data processing agreement with Google.
The data on your use of this website (to include your IP address) generated by these cookies are rendered anonymous before being stored on Google’s servers, such that they can no longer be linked to a specific computer. Only in exceptional cases is a complete IP address communicated to a Google server in the USA where it is abbreviated. Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operators, and to provide other services connected with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address provided by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. More information on the handling of user data by Google Analytics may be found in Google’s data protection statement.
You can prevent collection of data generated by the cookies on your use of the website, as well as processing of anonymized data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser plug-in from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. However, we hereby inform you that if you do so you may not be able to use all of this website’s functions to their full extent.
You can also prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics on this website by clicking on the link below. This will install an opt-out cookie, that will prevent collection of your data when visiting this website in future: Deactivate Google Analytics
The Facebook Pixel
Within the framework of our online offerings, based on our legitimate interest in analyzing, optimizing, and efficiently operating our online offerings, we make use of the Facebook Pixel from the social network Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland).
The Facebook Pixel firstly enables Facebook to determine the suitability of visitors to our online offerings for targeting by Facebook ads. We thus use the Facebook Pixel in order to show Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offerings, or who reveal certain attributes (such as interest in certain topics or products determined by websites visited) that we pass on to Facebook. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also seek to ensure that our Facebook ads harmonize with users’ potential interests and are not a source of annoyance.
SSL Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, for example inquiries you send us, this page uses an SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser address line.
When the SSL encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be accessed by a third party.
