Cookies and Website Automatic Data Collection

We use and allow certain other companies to use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies (collectively “Automatic Data Collection Tools”) on our website and in the marketing, sale and delivery of our products and services. We do this to understand your use of our website and our products and services and to improve your user experience and to enable personalized features and content, optimize our advertisements and marketing, and to enable third-party advertising companies to assist us in serving ads specific to your interests across the internet.

For information regarding advertising opt-out and cookie choices, please see Third Party Advertising Cookies and Social Media Cookies below.

Our Use of Cookies

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are stored on your device when you visit a site. The entity that places cookies on your browser can then read the information on that cookie that it set. We categorize cookies as follows:

Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for our websites and their features to work properly, and for us to properly provide services that depend on our websites and these features. (e.g. to remember cookie permission settings, session logins, etc.)

Convenience cookies: These enable us to improve the usability and performance of our websites and services that depend on our websites (e.g. to remember selection of region and country to redirect visitors to localized websites, or for altering or suggesting content that matches navigation patterns)

Statistics cookies: Used to collect information about how you navigate to and from our websites and how you use our website. The collection of this information is carried out as anonymous access measurements. Statistics cookies may be classified as either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when you close your browser session. Persistent cookies may remain on your system for an extended period of time

Targeting/Retargeting cookies: Used by our advertising services to provide you with appsolut-relevant advertising content

Third-Party Advertising Cookies and Social Media Cookies

We use third party cookies on our websites, which will then be stored on your device (unless you opt-out) to allow them to show you advertisements that may be relevant and useful to you. We may use remarketing tags (e.g. Facebook, Outbrain, Google, LinkedIn) that align with these third-party cookies to deliver advertisements about products that you have browsed on our site when you are on third party websites. However, the remarketing tags that we use do not include any information that directly identifies you. We would note, however, that these advertisers and other third parties (including ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may correlate the remarketing tag to their own third-party cookies and infer the user ID of users who interact with or click on a personalized ad or content.

Cookies may also be used when you share information using a social media feature on our website or with services made available via our website. The social media network may record your activities which may be linked to targeted advertising. The types of cookies used by these third parties and how they use the information generated by them will be governed by those companies’ privacy policies.

Other Automatic Data Collection Tools

Web Beacons

We may use and permit select third parties to use web beacons (usually in combination with cookies) to compile information about your website usage and your interaction with email or other communications, to measure performance and to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you.

A web beacon (also known as a web bug or clear GIFs) is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that can be embedded in online content, pictures, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read certain types of information from your device, know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message, determine the date and time when you viewed the beacon, and the IP address of your device. For instance, we may include web beacons on our websites, and in our promotional email messages or newsletters to determine whether our messages have been opened or acted upon and whether our mailing tools are working correctly.

Because web beacons are the same as any other content request initiated in a web page, you cannot opt out or refuse them. However, you may be able to disable web beacons in email messages by not downloading images contained in messages you receive (this feature varies depending on the email software used on your personal computer). However, doing this may not always disable a web beacon or other Automatic Data Collection Tools in the email message due to specific email software capabilities. For more information, refer to the details provided by your email software or service provider. Web beacons may also be rendered ineffective in some circumstances by opting out of cookies or amending your cookie settings in your browser.

Embedded Web Links

Emails from us often use links designed to lead you to a relevant area on the web, after redirection through our servers. The redirection system allows us to change the destination URL of these links, if necessary, and to determine the effectiveness of our communications and marketing initiatives. In emails, such web links may also allow us to determine whether you have clicked a link in an email, and information about this interaction may be connected to your personal identity.

If you do not want us to collect information about the links that you click, you can:

• Change your choice about how you receive communications from us (i.e. choose a text-based version of the message where available) or choose not to click links in emails that we send
• Choose privacy settings in your browser and email client that will restrict this information

Your Rights

At your request, we will: (i) inform you of what personal information we have on file for you; (ii) amend or correct the personal information that we have on file for you or any previous privacy preferences that you have selected; and/or (iii) erase personal information that you have provided to us, or that we have collected. You may do so by contacting us via email at mailto:privacy@appsolut.at

Provided, however, that we ask individuals to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or erased before processing such requests, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes).

For information regarding advertising opt-out and cookie choices, please see Third Party Advertising Cookies and Social Media Cookies above.

If you ask us to erase your Personal Data from our records, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to do so while retaining any record necessary to comply with a governmental authority or applicable federal, state, or local law.

Your European Union Privacy Rights under GDPR

If you are an EU person and would like to exercise your GDPR privacy rights, such as your right to access, amendment, correction, or erasure of Personal Data, please email us at: mailto:privacy@appsolut.at, call us at +43.2173.20590 or send your request via postal mail to:
