What Data Do We Collect?

DriveAustria Info is designed to be as privacy-friendly as possible. We only collect data that is strictly necessary for the operation of our website and to respond to your direct inquiries.

Contact Form Submissions:

When you use our contact form, we collect the following information:

• Your Name: To address you personally in our response.
• Your Email Address: To allow us to reply to your inquiry.
• Your Message: The content of your query, to understand and address your needs.

This data is voluntarily provided by you and is used solely for the purpose of communicating with you and answering your questions related to Austrian motorway tolls.

We do not collect any other personal data through automated means (e.g., IP addresses, browser information) unless explicitly stated and consented to by you.

Cookie Usage and Consent

Our website uses cookies strictly for functional purposes related to user preferences, specifically for managing cookie consent itself. We employ a single, non-tracking cookie mechanism:

localStorage: We use your browser's localStorage feature to remember your cookie consent preferences. This means that when you accept our cookie policy, we store a small piece of information locally in your browser so you don't have to confirm your consent on every visit. This storage is purely for preference management and does not track your browsing activity or collect personal data.

We do not use any tracking cookies, analytical cookies, or third-party advertising cookies. Our commitment is to provide clear, useful information without intrusive tracking.

No Third-Party Analytics or Tracking

DriveAustria Info prides itself on maintaining a highly private browsing experience. We explicitly state that:

• We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics services.
• We do not embed social media widgets or pixels that could track your activity.
• We do not use any advertising networks or tracking scripts from external providers.

Your visit to our website is not monitored or logged for marketing or analytical purposes by us or any third party.

Data Retention

We retain the personal data collected through contact form submissions only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Specifically:

• Contact Inquiries: Information submitted via our contact form (name, email, message) is typically retained for a period of 12 months from the date of your last interaction. This allows us to refer back to previous correspondence if you have follow-up questions or if we need to review a specific interaction for quality assurance. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised.
