last update of the privacy policy on 08.03.2021
Data protection is very important to us. That is why our data protection declaration is very comprehensive. Of course, this is also to ensure that we fully comply with legal requirements. For your orientation, here is a summary of the individual chapters at the beginning so that you can quickly find the information you are looking for.
With the following data protection declaration we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data in the context of the use of the website offered by Andreas Wilding (hereinafter “Sound Brands Vienna”) and the services offered through it.
Sound Brands Vienna values your trust and the protection of your personal data very highly. We therefore want to show you transparently how and for what purpose your data is used. We process your data exclusively on the basis of the current legal provisions in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications Act (TKG 2003).
We work according to these principles of processing your personal data:
This privacy policy applies to this website, its subdomains and all future subdomains of Sound Brands Vienna. By storing, processing and using personal data, we want to provide you with a user-friendly, smooth, customer-oriented and secure service.
We will not use or disclose your information except as described in this Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Statement. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.
We use so-called session cookies, which are deleted when you close your web browser because they only contain information that was required for a single visit to Karma Marketing. In addition to session cookies, we also use so-called permanent cookies. These enable the service to retain and offer you your personal settings or advertisements over a longer period of time (depending on the respective service). Permanent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
You can configure your browser settings as you wish and also refuse to accept cookies. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of the website.
Our concern with regard to these cookies within the meaning of GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f is our legitimate interest in improving our offer and our overall website.
Use of script libraries (FontAwesome & Google Webfonts)
In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website such as FontAwesome Web Fonts, which are provided by Fonticons, Inc. or Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.
Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – although currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
For more information about Font Awesome, please visit https://fontawesome.com/help and the Fonticons, Inc. privacy policy: https://fontawesome.com/privacy .
We may also collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service or access the Service through a mobile device (“Log Data”).
This log data may include information such as your browser type, browser version, device IP address, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.
If you access the Service from or through a mobile device, this Log Data may include information such as the type of mobile device used, the unique mobile device ID, the IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser and other statistics.
We may use and store information about your location if you allow us to do so in your device settings. We use this information to provide features to improve and customize our Service. You can enable or disable location services at any time through your mobile device settings when using our Service.
We use tracking tools on our websites to measure user behavior on our websites, to better understand it and to further develop our offers in a customer-oriented manner. This also enables us to use advertisements in the online area in a targeted manner. This is done in accordance with GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f (based on our legitimate interest).
For this purpose, we have installed a so-called “cookie banner” on all of our websites, with which you can give us your consent (GDPR Art.6 Para.1 lit. a) or, of course, refuse it. You can change this decision at any time by clicking on the link “Change cookie settings” (at the very bottom of the browser window and here at the beginning of this page).
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), on our websites. Google Analytics also uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our websites is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if we have activated IP anonymization, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of our website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following deactivation link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
We have also concluded a corresponding contract for order data processing with Google. Further information on compliance with Google Analytics’ data protection policy can be found here: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html
Our web pages contain remarketing tags from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our web pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the remarketing tags. Facebook therefore receives the information that you have visited our page using your IP address. This enables Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account.
We can use the information obtained in this way to display Facebook Ads. We would like to point out that as the provider of the websites, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
If you do not want data to be collected via Custom Audiences, you can deactivate Custom Audiences here .
With your consent through our cookie banner on all of our websites, we use the “visitor action pixel” from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA on our website. This allows us to track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This allows us to record the effectiveness of our Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, which means we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, about which we will inform you to the best of our knowledge. Facebook can link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ . You can allow Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook. A cookie will be stored on your computer for these purposes.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/
Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from the social networks Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Our aim in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our offer and our overall web presence, to expand our community (followers) and for advertising purposes.
Facebook and Instagram are operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. An overview of the Facebook and Instagram plugins and their appearance can be found here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
https://www.instagram.com/developer/embedding/
LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. An overview of the Twitter buttons and their appearance can be found here:
https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins
If you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin, the providers receive the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a server of the respective provider and stored there.
If you are logged in to one of the services, the providers can directly assign the visit to our website to your profile on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button on Facebook, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the providers and stored there. The information may also be published on the social network with your consent and displayed to your contacts there.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the providers’ data protection information.

Instagram’s privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388
LinkedIn’s privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=de_DE
If you do not want Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn to assign the data collected via our website directly to your profile in the respective service, you must log out of the corresponding service before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of the plug-ins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript” ( http://noscript.net/ ).
The data you provide (name, address, email address, if applicable telephone number for contacting us, names of employees and their email addresses) are required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. Without this data, we cannot conclude or implement the contract with you. We endeavor to regularly update this data with our customers and correct it if necessary. In the event of a contract being concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored baw, at the latest after the end of the collaboration until the expiry of the tax retention period (7 years). The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 Paragraph 3 TKG and Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a (your consent) and/or Letter b (necessary for contract fulfillment) of the GDPR.
8. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES
We use third-party companies to provide our Services, to perform service-related services under entered contracts or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.
These third parties only have access to your personal data to carry out these tasks on our behalf and are obliged not to disclose or use it for any other purposes. We have concluded appropriate contracts for order data processing with all third-party providers. In this way, we want to guarantee for you that these data processors are also fully committed to the applicable legal provisions on data protection (GDPR).
We store personal data (names, job titles in the company, address, telephone number, email address) to fulfill contractual agreements and for customer service.
For this data storage we use the software environment of Microsoft Office 365 Business (MS Outlook, MS Office, MS Skype for Business, MS OneDrive cloud services) from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
You have the option of entering your name and email address on our website. To do this, you will need to enter your name and email address. The personal data entered here will be used to contact you. In the event of cooperation resulting from the request, this data will be stored as mentioned above; otherwise, we will delete this data after 12 months. During this period, we reserve the right to contact you about our services to the usual extent within the scope of business.
The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 Paragraph 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG) and Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a (your consent) of the GDPR.
Data Protection and Children
Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 16 (“Children”). We do not knowingly or intentionally collect Personal Information from children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we are aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 16 without legal consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
Technical and organizational measures for data security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use all commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We take these technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your personal data:
You can contact us at any time if you have any questions about our data protection measures or if you would like your profile and all data stored about you to be deleted or corrected. You also have the right to free information about your stored data at any time, as well as the right to restrict or transfer your data, as well as to revoke or object. If a third party has registered with us using your email address, we ask that you inform us accordingly and, if you so wish, we will delete your profile immediately.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can bring this to the attention of the supervisory authority in the form of a complaint. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Wickenburggasse 8, 1080 Vienna, telephone: +43 1 52 152-0, email: dsb@dsb.gv.at
