Privacy Policy
The protection of your personal data and the safeguarding of your fundamental right to data protection are of great importance to us. To ensure that you feel secure when visiting our website, we strictly adhere to legal requirements when processing your personal data and would like to inform you here about how we collect and use your data. The following privacy policy explains what data is collected from you on our website, which of these data we process and use, how we do so, and who you can contact with any concerns.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies only to the website operated by Pension Seeblick (hereinafter „Pension Seeblick“ or „we“) www.pension-seeblick.co.at/wordpress/. It does not apply to websites that are not linked to this Privacy Policy or to those operated by third parties, such as Facebook. We recommend that you review the privacy policies posted on those websites.
By using this website, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy set forth below.
You may revoke your consent to this Privacy Policy or to specific provisions at any time by contacting us in writing (see Section 9).
2. Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data
Personal data is information that can be used to identify an individual—that is, information that can be traced back to a specific person. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you provide to us when submitting your inquiry.
We collect, use, and disclose personal data only when permitted by law or when you consent to the collection of such data. We collect information from you directly through the data you provide and automatically through the technologies used in our online applications.
2.1 Collection, Processing, and Use of Your Personal Data
We collect, store, and process your data for technical administration, statistical analysis, our own marketing purposes (see section 2.2), and to prevent criminal offenses and fraud or to identify security threats. Furthermore, we use your data in particular to perform the following actions:
- to provide and improve our services and support
- to contact you as you requested
- to send you a customized vacation package based on the information you provide
- for data analysis
- for internal audits
- for the development of new products
- to identify trends in usage
- to prevent and detect security threats, fraud, and other malicious activities
- to comply with our legal obligations and enforce our agreements
- to generate reports and statistics on access patterns (e.g., number of accesses to a source, total number of accesses by the customer and per source, changes in access frequency).
2.1.1 Log Files
When visiting our website www.pension-seeblick.co.at/wordpress/ For technical reasons, log files are stored by default. These records contain the following data: date, time, name of the page accessed, IP address, the website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL), browser type, and operating system. In addition, we automatically collect and store information about which pages you visit. This data is stored and analyzed in an anonymized form. Anonymized means that we cannot assign the data to a specific or identifiable natural person, or can do so only with a disproportionate amount of time, cost, and effort.
2.1.2. Disclosure to Third Parties
Your personal data will only be disclosed to third parties to the extent permitted by law (to enforce or comply with a government order, a law, or a court order; to detect and prevent security threats, fraud, or other malicious activities; to protect or enforce our rights and property; or to protect the rights or personal safety of our employees and third parties), for marketing purposes or to provide you with offers, or if you have previously consented.
Our website may include third-party content, such as maps, YouTube videos, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites. This always requires that the providers of this content collect the user’s IP address. This is because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. However, we have no control over whether third-party providers store your IP address, for example, for statistical purposes. To the best of our knowledge, we will inform you of this.
Some of your personal data is stored in the United States by third parties such as Google, Facebook, Mailchimp, etc., and disclosed by them for specific purposes. To find out for what purposes your data is disclosed, we recommend that you review the respective privacy policies.
2.2. Use of Your Data for Marketing Purposes
We also use your data for the following purposes: to communicate about specific products or marketing campaigns, to recommend products or services that may interest you, and to invite you to participate in surveys or similar promotional activities:
2.2.1 Newsletter
We use the email address you provided to send the newsletter and require your confirmation that you, as the owner of the email address, consent to receiving it. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure, which means you must explicitly confirm that you want us to activate the newsletter service for you. You will then receive a confirmation and authorization email from us, in which we ask you to click the link contained in this email to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter.
Your consent to receive the newsletter is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time. You may, of course, withdraw your consent by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter or by sending a written notice to the contact information listed in Section 10 (e.g., email or letter).
2.2.2. Product Recommendations
We also use your data to communicate with you—regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter—as part of marketing campaigns regarding specific products and services that may be of interest to you. These marketing campaigns are conducted via email or postal mail. Consent to receive these mailings is voluntary and may be revoked at any time. You may, of course, revoke your consent by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter or by sending a written notice to the contact information listed in Section 10 (e.g., email or letter).
2.3 Posts, Guestbook Entries, and Comments
When users leave comments on the blog or other posts, their IP addresses are stored. This is done for the provider’s security in case someone posts illegal content in comments or posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In such cases, the provider could be held liable for the comment or post and is therefore interested in the author’s identity.
3. Cookies and Targeting
Accepting cookies is not a requirement for visiting our website. However, please note that certain features are only available if you allow us to use cookies; otherwise, some features of our website may be limited.
3.1. What are cookies?
Cookies are text files that are stored locally on your computer's hard drive and are sent back to the web server when you visit the website again.
Generally speaking, there are two different types of cookies: so-called session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your device for a longer period of time or indefinitely. This storage helps us tailor our websites and offerings to your needs and makes them easier for you to use, for example by saving certain information you enter so that you do not have to re-enter it repeatedly.
We also use „web beacons“ (tracking pixels) on the browser side. Web beacons are a type of „third-party cookie“ and are placed on a website or in an email (newsletter) to analyze visitors’ online behavior on the website or when they click on the newsletter.
3.2. What cookies does Pension Seeblick use?
Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (hence the term “session cookies”). In addition, we also use cookies that remain on your hard drive. On a subsequent visit, the system automatically recognizes that you have previously visited our site and recalls your preferred settings and entries. These temporary or permanent cookies (with a lifespan of 1 month to 10 years) are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves automatically after the specified time. These cookies, in particular, serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Thanks to these files, for example, it is possible for you to see information on the site that is specifically tailored to your interests. The sole purpose of these cookies is to tailor our website to your preferences as effectively as possible and to make your browsing experience with us as comfortable as possible.
3.3. What data is stored in the cookies?
The cookies used by Pension Seeblick store only pseudonymous data. When the cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number, and your personal data is not linked to this identification number. Your name, IP address, or similar data that would allow the cookie to be directly linked to you are not stored in the cookie.

3.4. Retargeting
Our websites may use so-called retargeting technologies. By using these technologies, we can make our website more interesting for you. This technology allows us to target internet users who have already shown an interest in our store and our products with advertisements on our partners’ websites. The display of these advertisements on our partners’ websites is based on cookie technology and an analysis of previous usage behavior. This form of advertising is entirely pseudonymous. Through the use of cookies, your usage data is collected, stored, and used. Furthermore, your data stored in cookies will be retained beyond the end of the browser session and can, for example, be retrieved during your next visits to the websites.
3.5. How can you prevent cookies from being stored?
In your browser, you can set it so that cookies are only stored if you give your consent, thereby preventing further cookies from being set in the future. If you only want to accept Pension Seeblick cookies but not those from our service providers and partners, you can select the “Block third-party cookies” setting in your browser. The Help function in your web browser’s menu bar will show you how to reject new cookies and disable those you’ve already received. If you block cookies, you may no longer be able to register, log in, or make full use of the services on our website.
By the way, you can manage many online advertising cookies from companies via the U.S. website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.
I consent to Pension Seeblick using the data I have provided, as well as pseudonymized usage data, to show me personalized advertisements and/or special offers and services.

We use the services of MailChimp, provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, to send our newsletters. These contain web beacons, also known as tracking pixels. This allows us to determine whether the emails have been opened or whether the links contained in the emails have been clicked. We use this information to improve our email service and analyze which information is read or clicked on most frequently. We link this data to the actions you take on our website. The newsletter provider MailChimp stores the information collected in this way on its server in the USA. MailChimp is authorized to share your user data with third parties in certain cases.
