When you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data refers to data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purposes this data is collected.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security vulnerabilities. A seamless protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

Ernst Schwarzhans
Klarenbrunnstraße 69
6700 Bludenz
Austria
Phone: +43 664 13 16 108
Email: office@sh-wohngesundheit.com
The responsible party is the natural or legal entity that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any previously given consent at any time. A simple notification via email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Article 21 GDPR)
If the processing of your personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right, at any time, to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also includes profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Article 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done where it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address bar from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in the browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Access, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right, at any time, to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have the right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address specified in the imprint.
Right to Restrict Data Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time using the address specified in the imprint. The right to restrict data processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we store, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Objection to Advertising Emails
The use of contact information published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of the website explicitly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
3. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our service more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the use of cookies, only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication processes or to provide certain functionalities you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized delivery of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with data from other sources.
The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website; server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide, including your contact details, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. A simple notification via email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out up until the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (e.g., name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of addressing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data occurs based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries directed to us.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content, or alteration of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data related to the use of our internet pages (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable or bill the use of the service by the user.
The customer data collected will be deleted after the order has been completed or the business relationship has been terminated. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Data Transmission at the Conclusion of a Contract for Services and Digital Content
We only transfer personal data to third parties if it is necessary in the context of contract execution, for example, to the bank responsible for processing payments.
Data will not be transferred further unless you have explicitly consented to it. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
