Data Controller and Data Protection Officer
The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:
Ronny Paulusch
M.E.A.T. GmbH
55/140 Lannesstraße
1220 Vienna
Phone: +43 (0) 660 548 7401
Email: office@meat-gmbh.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data in question unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Regulatory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically—based on your consent or to fulfill a contract—provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another data controller, this will be done only to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Access, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin, and recipients, as well as the purpose of the data processing; and, where applicable, the right to correct, restrict, or delete this data. For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of having the data erased.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being erased.
If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be conducted. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from its storage—may be processed only with your consent, or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in certain cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain features you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart feature) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the form—including the contact information you enter there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case we have any follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
Inquiries by email, phone, or fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, we will store and process your inquiry—including all personal data contained therein (name, inquiry)—for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed).
