These include cookies that are necessary for the operation of the site, as well as those that are only used for anonymous statistical purposes, for comfort settings or to display personalized content. You can decide for yourself which categories you want to allow. Please note that based on your settings, not all functions of the site may be available.

We will notify you if we intend to transfer your personal information to a service provider based outside of the EEA. If we commission external companies or persons to process personal data that they have not collected themselves but provided by us, they will only use the personal data within the scope of the commissioned order in accordance with our instructions and the provisions of this data protection declaration.

You can request a copy of the contracts concluded in this case from us at the following email address: {office@wewalka.at}; or if you have consented to the transfer or if we have another legal basis for the transfer.
