Any personal data that you make available to us will be used only to facilitate the technical administration of these web pages and to provide any services requested by you, which in general means responding to a specific question or request, as far as not otherwise indicated and/or permitted by you.
Only if you have previously granted us permission, or – where statutory regulations so permit – have failed to register an objection, do we also use this data for product-related surveys and marketing purposes. Your personal data will not be forwarded, sold or otherwise made available to any third party, unless this is necessary for purposes of concluding a contractual agreement or if you have expressly given your  consent.

Data protection declaration regarding web tracking/opt-out options
Some of the data collected during your visit to this web site is used for purposes of statistical analysis. The scope of this data is described below. The data will be stored on Webtrekk GmbH servers, the company that provides statistical services to Austrian Post.
Austrian Post uses the services provided by Webtrekk GmbH to collect statistical data about the use of our online content and to adapt it accordingly. Webtrekk GmbH is certified for data protection in the area of web controlling. This certification consists, among others, of an audit at the Webtrekk offices in Berlin and at their hosting location in Nuremberg. During this audit, the collection and processing of tracking data is checked for compliance with data protection regulations and data security.

Collected data for web tracking 
During your visit to our web site, some information is compiled and analysed for web controlling purposes. This information is provided by your browser. The collection is done by way of an invisible image integrated into all web sites. The following data is collected:

• Request (file name of the requested file) (e.g. www.beispiel.de/index.html)
• Browser type/browser version (e.g. Internet Explorer 6.0)
• Browser language  (e.g. English)
• Operating system used (e.g. Windows XP)
• Inner resolution of browser window
• Screen resolution
• Javascript activation
• Java on /off
• Cookies on / off
• Colour depth
• Referrer URL (the previously visited web site)
• IP address – is deleted immediately
• Time of access
• Clicks
• Total orders, if any
• Content of forms, if any (in the case of text fields, e.g. name and password, only the information “completed“ or “not completed“ is transmitted)

IP address
The IP address is transmitted along with every server request, letting the server know where to send the response. This IP address is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) when you go online. The ISP can trace which address was assigned to which client at a given time. As long as the IP address is stored, the ISP can theoretically be used to determine the identity of the owner of a given internet connection. Hence, Austrian Post and its provider of statistical services do not store IP addresses permanently, but use them only for session identification purposes and to counter attacks. Subsequently, IP addresses are deleted immediately, making the collected data anonymous. At that point, the identity of the user cannot be determined anymore, even by the ISP.
