DISCLAIMER

The official website of ASCINA is www.ascina.at. ASCINA is unrelated to and independent from any private or state institution in Austria.

PRIVACY

No personal data is shared with third parties. However, registered users who contribute to the blogger, news, or the discussion forum have their e-mail address readable to the public. Data-mining robots harvest anything that looks like an e-mail address and use it for spam mass e-mail. It is therefore a good practice to NOT use a personal e-mail address for public websites, but a temporary one (which can forward to a permanent personal address).

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

When you register with ascina.at you consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail occasionally
to announce meetings or news. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
