Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION AND MANDATORY DISCLOSURES

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personally identifiable information confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various types of personally identifiable information are collected. Personally identifiable information includes all data that identifies a person or can be used to identify a person directly or indirectly. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Notice regarding the responsible entity

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

bazuba GmbH
Kammeringstraße 6b
2353 Guntramsdorf
Telephone: 02236 304397
Email: contact@bazuba.world

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personally identifiable information (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 may withdraw consent already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection in your browser’s address bar by the lock symbol, followed by a „https://“ before the web address.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, blocking, erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personally identifiable information, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personally identifiable information, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.

Retention period

We generally store your personally identifiable information until the end of the business relationship in which we collected your data, or until the expiry of the applicable statutory limitation and retention periods; beyond that, until the conclusion of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence. If you are a customer, former customer, interested party or potential future customer, or a contact person for any of the above, we store your personally identifiable information for marketing purposes until you object or withdraw your consent, provided the marketing activity is based on your consent.

Objection to promotional emails

The use of contact details published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Disclosure to franchise partners and subsidiaries

We operate a system of subsidiaries and legally independent franchise partners. If you make enquiries about our services and executions via this website, your data will be forwarded to the partner responsible for your region so that they can process your enquiry and prepare a corresponding offer.

3. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Cookies

Our websites sometimes use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering 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 your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

· Browser type and version
· Operating system used
· Referrer URL (redirect)
· Host name of the accessing computer
· Time of the server request
· IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us or will be forwarded – if necessary for processing your enquiry or for carrying out pre-contractual measures – to the respective local company (a subsidiary of bazuba GmbH or an independent franchise partner). The legal basis for this transfer is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures). Beyond this, we do not pass on your data to third parties without your consent.

4. ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING

4.1. Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website offering and its advertising.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

UTM parameters

On bazuba.world, UTM parameters (Urchin Tracking Module) are collected and used for analytical purposes. These parameters, including utm_source (source of traffic), utm_medium (medium, e.g. email or social media), and utm_campaign (name of the campaign), may be linked to your personally identifiable information to gain a more detailed understanding of your user behaviour and to adapt our marketing strategies accordingly.

Please note that this linking is intended to improve our services and enable targeted marketing.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Link

Objection to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google’s privacy policy.
The security and privacy principles of Google Analytics summarise the measures we take to protect your data.

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the Austrian data protection authority when using Google Analytics.

Demographic features in Google Analytics

This website uses the „demographic features“ function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under „Objection to data collection“.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given the corresponding consent, Google will link your web and app browser history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you sign in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this Link.
The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymised analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: Link.

4.2. Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. This is an online advertising programme of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States („Google“).
As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of ‚conversion cookies‘ is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offering and its advertising.
You can find more information about Google Ads and Google conversion tracking in Google’s privacy policy: Link.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

4.3. Facebook Pixel

Our websites use the ‚Facebook Pixel‘. This has been implemented to track the behaviour of users who have clicked on one of our ads on Facebook. This information is used for statistical purposes and to optimise future advertising measures. No personally identifiable data is made available to us through the Facebook Pixel.
Another function is to present users of our website with interest-based advertisements (‚Facebook Ads‘) while visiting the social network Facebook. When visiting the website, Facebook Pixel establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers and transmits to their servers that you have visited this website. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and stores and processes it at the same time, so that Facebook can link it to the respective Facebook user profile. Facebook may use this data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with its data usage policy (Link),. Consent for this lies within Facebook’s domain and is beyond our influence. For more information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy notices at this Link.
With the following tool, you can restrict Facebook’s use in your current browser: Link.

5. PLUGINS AND TOOLS

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behaviour with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: Link

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. In this way, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at Link and in Google’s privacy policy: Link
