Relevant Legal Bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection requirements may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Should more specific legal bases also be relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in this privacy policy.

Consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to them for one or more specific purposes.
Performance of a contract and pre-contractual requests (Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data.

National data protection regulations in Austria: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Austria. These include in particular the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act – DSG). The Data Protection Act contains in particular special provisions on the right of access, the right to rectification or erasure, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases.

Note on the applicability of the GDPR and the Swiss FADP: This privacy policy serves to provide information both under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (Swiss FADP) and under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, we ask you to note that, due to the broader geographical application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR have been replaced by Swiss terms. In particular, instead of the terms "processing" of "personal data" (or in short "data") and "legitimate interest" used in the GDPR, the terms "handling" of "personal data" and "overriding interest" used in the Swiss FADP are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms continues to be determined in accordance with the Swiss FADP within the scope of its application.

Security Measures

In accordance with the legal requirements and taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

These measures include in particular safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, disclosure, assurance of availability and separation relating to it. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the erasure of data and responses to threats to the data. In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by privacy-friendly default settings.

Transfer of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to or disclosed to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers tasked with IT functions or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

International Data Transfers

Data processing in third countries: Insofar as we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or the processing takes place in the context of using third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, entities or companies, this only takes place in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or a transfer required by contract or law, we only process or have processed the data in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, a contractual obligation through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, where certifications exist or binding internal data protection rules are in place (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR).

Erasure of Data

The data processed by us is erased in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consents permitting processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g. when the purpose of processing this data no longer applies or it is not required for the purpose). Insofar as the data is not erased because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is limited to these purposes. This means that the data is restricted and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

Within the scope of our privacy policy, we may provide users with further information on the erasure and retention of data that applies specifically to the respective processing operations.

Rights of Data Subjects

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you are entitled to various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR:

Right to object: You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw consent that you have given at any time.
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the legal requirements.
Right to rectification: In accordance with the legal requirements, you have the right to request the completion of the data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
Right to erasure and restriction of processing: In accordance with the legal requirements, you have the right to request that data concerning you be erased without delay, or alternatively, in accordance with the legal requirements, to request a restriction of the processing of the data.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive data concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in accordance with the legal requirements, or to request its transmission to another controller.
Complaint to a supervisory authority: In accordance with the legal requirements and without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files or other types of storage records that store information on end devices and read information from end devices. For example, to store the login status in a user account, the contents of a shopping cart in an e-shop, the content accessed or the functions used of an online offering. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, e.g. for purposes of functionality, security and convenience of online offerings as well as to create analyses of visitor flows.

Notes on consent: We use cookies in accordance with the legal regulations. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, except where it is not required by law. Consent is in particular not necessary if the storage and reading of the information, including cookies, is strictly necessary in order to provide users with a telemedia service (i.e. our online offering) that they have expressly requested. Strictly necessary cookies generally include cookies with functions that serve the display and operability of the online offering, load balancing, security, the storage of users' preferences and choices, or similar purposes related to the provision of the main and ancillary functions of the online offering requested by users. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and contains the information on the respective use of cookies.

Notes on legal bases under data protection law: The legal basis under data protection law on which we process users' personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is the consent declared. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the economically efficient operation of our online offering and the improvement of its usability) or, if this is done within the scope of fulfilling our contractual obligations, where the use of cookies is necessary in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Storage period: With regard to the storage period, the following types of cookies are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offering and closed their end device (e.g. browser or mobile application).
Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the user data collected with the help of cookies can be used for reach measurement. Unless we provide users with explicit information on the type and storage period of cookies (e.g. as part of obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.

General notes on withdrawal and objection (so-called "opt-out"): Users can withdraw the consents they have given at any time and object to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements. To do so, users can, among other things, restrict the use of cookies in the settings of their browser (although this may also limit the functionality of our online offering).

Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR); Consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR).

Further notes on processing operations, procedures and services:

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure within the scope of which users' consent to the use of cookies, or to the processing and providers named within the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained as well as managed and withdrawn by users. In this process, the declaration of consent is stored so that the request does not have to be repeated and consent can be proven in accordance with the legal obligation. Storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or with the help of comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR).

Business Services

We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g. users, customers and prospective customers (collectively referred to as "contractual partners") within the scope of contractual and comparable legal relationships as well as associated measures and in the context of communication with the contractual partners (or pre-contractually), e.g. to answer inquiries.

We process this data in order to fulfil our contractual obligations. This includes in particular the obligations to provide the agreed services, any update obligations and remedies in the event of warranty and other service disruptions. In addition, we process the data to safeguard our rights and for the purpose of the administrative tasks associated with these obligations as well as the organization of the company. Furthermore, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests in proper and economically efficient business management as well as in security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations from misuse, endangerment of their data, secrets, information and rights (e.g. for the involvement of telecommunications, transport and other auxiliary services as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisors, payment service providers or financial authorities).

We erase the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, i.e. generally after 4 years, unless the data is stored in a customer account or user or Act account, e.g. for as long as it must be retained for legal reasons of archiving. The statutory retention period is ten years for documents relevant under tax law as well as for commercial books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, the working instructions and other organizational documents and accounting records required to understand these documents, and six years for received commercial and business letters and reproductions of the commercial and business letters sent.

Payment Procedures

Within the scope of contractual and other legal relationships, due to legal obligations or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer data subjects efficient and secure payment options and, in addition to banks and credit institutions, use other service providers for this purpose (collectively "payment service providers").

The data processed by the payment service providers includes master data, such as the name and address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums as well as the contract, total and recipient-related information. The information is necessary in order to carry out the transactions. However, the entered data is only processed by the payment service providers and stored with them. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, but only information with confirmation or negative notification of the payment.

Types of data processed: Master data (e.g. names, addresses); Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices, payment history); Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, term, customer category); Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); Meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, consent status).

Newsletter and Electronic Notifications

We send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of a newsletter are specifically described during registration, they are decisive for the users' consent. For the rest, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

To register for our newsletters, it is generally sufficient for you to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name, for the purpose of a personal address in the newsletter, or further information, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double opt-in procedure: Registration for our newsletter generally takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with another person's email address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.

Erasure and restriction of processing: We may store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them, in order to be able to prove a consent previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims.

You will find a link to cancel the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can otherwise use one of the contact options listed above, preferably email, for this purpose.

Further notes on processing operations, procedures and services:

Measurement of open and click rates: The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened, or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from their server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information is initially collected, such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval. Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR).

Promotional Communication via Email, Post, Fax or Telephone

We process personal data for the purposes of promotional communication, which may take place via various channels, such as email, telephone, post or fax, in accordance with the legal requirements.

Purposes of processing: Direct marketing (e.g. by email or post).
Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR); Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR).

Web Analytics, Monitoring and Optimization

Web analytics (also referred to as "reach measurement") serves to evaluate the visitor flows of our online offering and can comprise behavior, interests or demographic information about the visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis we can, for example, identify at what time our online offering or its functions or content are used most frequently or invite reuse. Likewise, we can understand which areas require optimization.

The IP addresses of users are also stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, within the scope of web analytics, A/B testing and optimization, no clear-text data of the users (such as email addresses or names) is stored, but pseudonyms.

Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); Meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, consent status).
Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing: Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors); Profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles).
Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).

Presences in Social Networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and, within this scope, process data of users in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.

We point out that users' data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. This may result in risks for users, because, for example, the enforcement of users' rights could be made more difficult.

Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers); Content data (e.g. entries in online forms); Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); Meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, consent status).
Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing: Contact requests and communication; Feedback (e.g. collecting feedback via online form); Marketing.

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers"). These may include, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the users' IP address, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content or functions. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content.
