Privacy Policy

I. Object

Wirecube GmbH (Waagner-Biro-Straße 124, 8020 Graz, Austria) takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. Wirecube processes personal data in accordance with the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as name, address, email address, and IP address.

The aim of this Privacy Policy is to inform you about the purpose and scope of the processing of personal data on the website www.wirecube.com.

II. General Processing

Wirecube processes personal data on this website with your consent (contact via the contact form or by email) and to fulfill contractual obligations.

For information purposes only, the personal data gathered from your browser includes anonymized or pseudonymized IP addresses, location data, visit timestamps, time zone differences, query content, access status/HTTP status code, data volume transmitted, referral website, operating system, browser language and version, visit duration, search engine used, keywords, browser type, screen size, and operating system.

This Website contains links to other websites. These links are provided exclusively for information purposes. Third-party websites are not controlled by wirecube and therefore fall outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. If you click on a link to another website, the operator of the third-party website may gather data about you and process this data in accordance with the company’s own privacy policy, which may differ from the policy outlined here.

III. Storage Period

Wirecube only stores your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. We also strive to store and process data anonymously if possible. Log files at the web server level store pseudonymized IP addresses for five years, unless extended for investigating irregularities or security incidents.

Personal data will be stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and throughout the provision of services. Beyond this period, data will be stored in compliance with statutory data retention periods. Once there are no justified reasons for continued storage, the data is either deleted or anonymized.

IV. Specific Processing

1. About Cookies

Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission.

This site uses different types of cookies. They can be temporary or persistent, which is explained below. Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. Detail information about the cookies used on this Website can be found in the .

Temporary Cookies
Temporary cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are the main type of temporary cookies. These store a ‘session ID’ on your device, which can assign various queries from your browser to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized if you visit this Website again. These session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time, which varies depending on the cookie. However, you can delete cookies at any time by going to your browser settings. Persistent cookies can help improve user experience and can be used to analyze websites (see “Google Analytics”).

2. The Use of Cookies

We use cookies to personalize content and ads, provide social media and content features, and analyze our traffic. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners, who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services. Detail information about the cookies used on this Website can be found in the .

The use of cookies enables us to ensure the optimal performance of our Website. In particular, cookies allow us to:

• Continuously improve the functionality of our website (necessary cookies)
• Continuously improve the content and structure of our website (statistics or analytics cookies)
• Tailor advertisements displayed on certain platforms to the user’s specific interests and needs (marketing cookies).
  
  

We only use cookies after you have given us your consent to use cookies (cookie banner) and, if applicable, to transfer the data gathered by cookies to the USA. You can choose which cookies you allow and change or withdraw your consent at any time in the .

3. Data Transfer to the USA

Some of our partners have subsidiaries in the USA. We may transfer your personal data to these partners in the USA either manually or via an interface.

Please note that with the ruling of July 16, 2020 (Court of Justice of the European Union C-311/18, Schrems II Ruling), the adequacy decision that permitted the transfer of personal data to the USA was repealed.

This means that the USA, as a third country, does not provide an adequate level of data protection.

The specific risk to you as a user is that if your personal data is transferred to the USA, it may be accessed by the US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, and you have very few effective and enforceable rights to object to this access. The data we transfer to the USA consists primarily of IP addresses (internet protocol addresses), which, in general, are anonymized/pseudonymized.

We work with several US-based service providers. A complete list of cookies, services, and service providers, including descriptions, can be found in the , giving you the option to accept or refuse individual services and cookies.

We require your consent to allow us to pass on your personal data to these service providers. You can withdraw your consent at any time and with immediate effect via the .

V. Data Transfer

Wirecube may outsource the processing of your personal data to external service providers who act on behalf of wirecube as processors under Article 4 (8) of the GDPR. External service providers assist us in areas such as technical operations, data management, service provision, marketing, and analysis. Wirecube ensures the safety of your data through strict contractual agreements, technical and organizational measures, and supplementary controls.
