Privacy on this website
Operated by Polytelic Labs GmbH.
This note covers the website polytelic.at. Each app has its own privacy policy. Who we are and how to reach us is in the Impressum.
The short version
This website shows no advertising and loads nothing from other companies. It counts how its pages are read only if you say yes, and only then does your browser keep a random number for it. If you write to us, we use your message to answer you.
1. Visiting the site
The site is hosted for us by Microsoft Azure on servers in the European Union. Like every web server, it receives your IP address and your browser's details in order to deliver the page, and it keeps short technical logs. We do not evaluate those logs and do not use them to identify you.
2. Counting how the pages are read, only with your yes
On your first visit a small note asks whether we may count how the page is read. If you say no, or if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, nothing is counted.
If you say yes, the page records for that one page view: which page it is, whether the screen is the size of a phone, a tablet or a computer and whether it is a touch screen, the name of the website you came from (never the full address), how long the page was open in front of you, how far down you scrolled, how many seconds each section was on screen, and how often you pressed something in each section.
That report is sent to our own server together with a random number that your browser keeps after your yes (in its local storage, which works like a cookie). The number says nothing about who you are. It lets us see that two page views came from the same browser, so we can tell a return visit from a new visitor and follow the way from one of our pages to the next. It is not shared with any other website, and it cannot connect your phone with your computer. We do not store your IP address or your browser's details with it.
We use the numbers only to see which parts of the site work and which do not. They are never used for advertising and are never passed on.
The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 165(3) TKG 2021). You can withdraw it at any time with the switch at the end of this page. Single page views are deleted after 90 days.
Besides that number your browser keeps two small notes: your yes or no, and the date we last asked you for feedback, so that we do not ask again for 30 days. Switching the counting off deletes the number from your browser at once.
3. Feedback
If you agreed to the counting and spend a good while on a page, it may ask you once whether anything could be better. An answer is voluntary. It is stored together with the usage data of that same page view, so that we can read your remark beside the sections you saw. Please leave personal details out of it. Feedback is deleted after 12 months.
4. The contact form
The form sends us the name you give (optional), your email address and your message. The message is stored on our server and forwarded to our mailbox by Azure Communication Services, a Microsoft service that processes it in Europe on our behalf. We use it only to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). It is not connected to any usage data. We delete it six months after the matter is settled, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
5. Your rights
You may ask us what we hold about you, and have it corrected, deleted or restricted, receive it in a portable form, and object to its use. Because a counted page view carries no name or address, we usually cannot tell which one was yours. Nothing here is used for profiling or for automated decisions.
You can also complain to the Austrian data protection authority (Datenschutzbehörde, dsb.gv.at).
