Both private individuals and commercial customers have the opportunity to book seminars, courses, workshops and training sessions.

This privacy policy is intended to inform you about how we handle the personal data that we collect, process and use about you. If you do not agree with this privacy policy or any part of it, you may not be able to use all or part of the website or its services.

Ranks takes great care to ensure that the privacy and confidentiality of all customer and user data is guaranteed and undertakes to comply with the protection standards in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the Austrian Data Protection Act (“DSG”) as amended.

“Special category data” (formerly known as “sensitive data”) are data of natural persons concerning their racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union membership, religious or philosophical beliefs, health or sex life, as well as biometric or genetic data.

“Processors” (formerly known as “service providers”) are natural or legal persons, groups of persons or bodies of a local authority or the business apparatuses of such bodies if they only use data for the production of a work commissioned to them.

2. data processing

We collect, obtain, store, process and use data, including personal data, that you provide to us when you access or use our website and services.

Among other things, your contact data (name, address, e-mail, telephone number), data about your location (IP address), log data (access data) are stored.

This data is stored for the following purposes:

– to operate, protect, improve and optimize the Ranks website and business, such as through analytics and research, personalizing or otherwise customizing your experience and providing our customer service;

You can revoke your consent to the use of your data for marketing and advertising purposes at any time in writing by sending an email to mail@rank.at;

Your data will be stored for the duration of the contract fulfillment or as long as legally required (e.g. at least 7 years in the context of a booking). Your data will then be deleted.

3. disclosure of data to third parties

Among other things, Ranks uses a processor to manage the data, create access authorizations and maintain the website, to whom the data (including personal data) is transferred for this purpose and with whom a corresponding contract has been concluded. The latter is based within the EU and takes the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect the data from unauthorized access or unintentional loss.

Any other disclosure to third parties will only take place with your express consent or if this is necessary in order to use the services offered on this website.

4. right to information and other rights

However, we would like to point out that some data may be necessary for you to be able to use our website and services. If your data is processed on the basis of your consent, you can revoke this at any time.

5. data security

Ranks constantly implements and updates organizational and technical security measures to protect your data managed by Ranks against unauthorized access, destruction, manipulation or loss.

6. encryption

All transmitted data is protected by SSL encryption.

7. cookie policy

Ranks uses “cookies” in connection with the website www.tredu.at to obtain information and to enable certain functions as well as user-oriented and smooth navigation. “Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your end device and saved by your browser on your hard disk. We can read these “cookies” during your visit to our website and can thus store your preferences and other information.

Your browser may allow you to specify how it handles cookies. Please note, however, that some elements of the website may not function as intended or at all without “cookies”.

8. matomo

We use Matomo on our website. This is an open source software with which we can analyze the use of our website. Your IP address, the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the website from which you switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the time you spend on our Internet presence and the frequency with which you visit one of our websites are processed.

To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your end device via your Internet browser. This cookie is valid during your visit to our website and is deleted at the end of your visit.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our website.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymization function “Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs”. This anonymization function shortens your IP address by two bytes, making it impossible to assign it to you or to the Internet connection you are using.

9. integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) are aware of the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware, we will inform users of this.

10. other

Your access to and use of this website and its contents are subject to Austrian law. The courts of Vienna shall have jurisdiction for any disputes.

Ranks cannot be held liable for any damage or injury resulting from your access or inability to access this website. This limitation also includes damage or viruses that affect your computer equipment or other devices.

If this website contains links to other websites, Ranks is not liable for their content.

11. changes

Ranks may change the way in which personal data is collected, processed and used at any time and without prior notice at its own discretion.

This privacy policy can be changed at any time. If significant changes are made to this privacy policy, you will be informed either by the publication of the amended privacy policy on the website or by e-mail.

It is important that you read the amended privacy policy. If you do not wish to agree to the amended privacy policy, please expressly object in writing by e-mail to mail@tredu.academy. However, we would like to point out that the website and its services may then no longer be available to you or may no longer be available in part.
