INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH’s websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are deposited and saved on a computer system through an internet browser.

Cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie.

Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted through an internet browser or other software program. This is possible in all current internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, under certain circumstances not all functions of our website will be fully useable.

3. Collection of general data and information

INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH’s website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is called up by you or through an automatic system. This general data and information is saved in the server’s logfiles. The following data and information can be collected: (1) browser types and versions used; (2) the operating system used by the accessing system; (3) the website from which an accessing system gets to our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites, which are steered to our website through an accessing system, (5) the date and time of our access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the accessing system’s internet service provider and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert risks in the case of attacks on our IT systems.

During use of this general data and information, INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH does not draw any conclusions about you personally. Rather, this information is required to (1) provide the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimise the contents of our website as well as the advertising for these, (3) guarantee our website’s operative readiness and technology in the long-term as well as (4) provide the necessary information for the criminal prosecution to the criminal prosecution authorities in the case of a cyber-attack.

As a result, this anonymously collected data and information is analysed by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH on the one hand statistically and furthermore with the goal to increase data protection and data security in our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymised data of the server logfiles is saved separately from all personal data indicated by a person concerned.

4. Registration on our website

You have the possibility to register yourself on INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH’s website by indicating your personal data. What personal data will be transmitted to INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH in this connection results from the respective input mask, which is used for the registration.

Through a registration on INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH’s website, furthermore, the IP address allocated to you by the internet service provider (ISP), the date as well as the time of the registration will be saved. This data will be saved against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and to make it possible for this data to clarify criminal acts committed as and when required. Inasmuch, the saving of this data is required for the protection of the data controller. In principle, this data will not be disclosed to third parties, unless a statutory obligation to disclose exists or the disclosure serves criminal prosecution purposes.

The registration of your personal data indicated voluntarily will be used by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH to offer you contents or services that can only be offered to registered users, due to the nature of the matter.

The installation of the browser add-ons will be evaluated as an objection by Google. If your IT system is deleted, formatted or newly installed at a later time, a new installation of the browser add-ons must be done by you in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is de-installed or deactivated by you or another person imputable to your sphere of power, the possibility of the new installation or the new activation of the browser add-on exists.

Consequently, we see which page the advertiser has visited during their web stay with us and what they have done there. We thereby learn to get to know you better as our customer/advertiser and thereby improve our website constantly and consequently the surfing behaviour for you. The data protection provisions take effect here too. With the possibility to use a tool such as e.g. AdBlocker you can prevent tracking pixels at any time. Our newsletter also possibly uses this tracking pixel technology. You can prevent these in your e-mail program by setting it in such a way that no HTML is notified or you read your e-mail offline.

Information is automatically saved in our server log files information, which is transmitted to us by your search engine or your browser.
