Data Privacy
Version 1.4 · Last update on December 6, 2024
We see the protection of your personal data as a matter of particular concern. Therefore, we only process your personal data on the basis of all applicable legal provisions (i.e. Austrian Data Protection Act, General Data Protection Regulation GDPR, Austrian Telecommunication Act TKG 2003). This data protection policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. Additionally, we describe how and for what purpose personal data is collected during your visit to our website.
1. Collection and Processing of Personal Data During Website Visits
1.1. Access Data
When users visit this website, our web server collects several “technical” data points stored as server log files. Specifically, the following data is logged:
- Visited website (this website)
- Date and time of access
- Volume of data transferred in bytes
- Referring website (URL)
- Type and version of the web browser used for access
- Operating system used by the accessing device
- IP address assigned to the user
We base the collection and storage of access data (server log files) on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in ensuring the functional security of the website and minimizing associated liability risks, as well as on our legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) to guarantee adequate data security for your personal customer data. Typically, access data is not evaluated to draw conclusions about specific users. However, in the event of indications of misuse, illegal access, or operational disruptions, we reserve the right to analyze access data retrospectively for identification purposes and, if necessary, share it with state authorities.
Server log files are generally stored for up to 7 days and then deleted. If the data is needed to counter or pursue misuse or unlawful access, the storage period may be extended until resolution or the legal conclusion of any relevant proceedings.
1.2. Google Analytics
With your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; § 165 para. 3 TKG 2021), we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Analytics captures your user behavior through “events” (e.g., website interactions, clicks on links or ads, downloads, etc.) and processes your browser settings. On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate pseudonymous website usage and compile reports on website activities. These reports help us analyze the performance of our website.
Google Analytics uses cookies to enable website usage analysis. Data collected through cookies is typically transferred to and stored on Google’s servers in the United States. IP anonymization is enabled by default in Google Analytics 4. As a result, Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring it to the U.S. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a U.S. server and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser is not combined with other data from Google.
Recipients of data:
- Google Ireland Limited, Dublin, Ireland
- Google LLC, Mountain View, CA, USA
- Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Data linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. Google Analytics cookies have a maximum lifespan of 2 years. Data is automatically deleted once the storage period expires.
You can revoke your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences. Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics tracking by downloading and installing the browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

1.3. Usercentrics
We use the Usercentrics Consent Management Service by Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlingerstr. 7, 80331 Munich (“Usercentrics”), to manage and document consent for data processing on our website. Data processing is necessary to meet legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).

2. Contact requests
If you contact us as a website operator using the contact options offered – such as the contact form on our website – your contact details (name, email address and your message) will be processed by us. The data collected as part of the contact request will be processed to fulfill your request, to manage your data as an interested party and to contact you to provide you with further information about our offer and any related events.
This data is processed to fulfill (pre-)contractual measures (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit b GDPR), to fulfill legal obligations such as documentation obligations (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit c GDPR) or for our legitimate interests in contacting our customers and interested parties to maintain (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR). We will not pass on this data to third parties without your consent unless this is necessary to fulfill your request. We delete your data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal authorization or obligation to continue processing the data.
3. Orders in the online shop
You have the option of ordering products in our online shop. During the ordering process, we also collect a variety of your data, like your name, date of birth, email address, telephone number (not mandatory), the products you have chosen and, if applicable, a different billing address. For corporate customers, we also collect the UID and the names of the decision-makers.
The processing of the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures at your request (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR). This data will not be passed on to third parties unless you have given your consent or the passing on of the data is necessary to fulfill the contract (e.g. delivery). We store your data as long as we have an ongoing contractual relationship with you or as long as we need it to process your order. In addition, we may be required to retain your data for documentation purposes. For example, due to the provisions of the Corporate Code (UGB) and the Federal Tax Code (BAO), we are obliged to retain accounting documents for 7 years.
4. Newsletters
You have the option of voluntarily registering for our newsletter on our website. To do this, we need your email address and your consent to receive the newsletter with advertising content. By agreeing to receive the newsletter, you also agree to the use of your personal data (first name, last name, address, email address) for this purpose. After registering, you will receive an email from us to confirm your registration (double opt-in). Please follow the instructions in this email to complete registration.
We use the personal data you provide exclusively to send the newsletter. When we send you a newsletter, we also collect whether you have opened it, blocked it or marked it as spam, as well as which links you have clicked in the newsletter. The processing of this data is included in the consent given when registering for our newsletter. If you do not want this information to be collected, we ask that you do not subscribe to the newsletter.
As part of sending the newsletter, your data will be passed on to our email delivery service, currently Mailchimp (The Rocket Science Group LLC / Intuit Inc., 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA) as a technical service provider. We contractually require our processors to process your data only in accordance with our instructions to fulfill their obligations and within the framework of applicable laws and regulations and not to transfer your data to third parties. Mailchimp’s data processing can take place in the USA. The data transfer is based on the EUUS Data Privacy Framework.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of each mailing or by sending us your revocation by email to the following address: hello@hmw-mobility.com. Revoking consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing until its revocation. Your data will be deleted immediately after your revocation, unless we are entitled or obliged to continue processing the data for other reasons.
