Data Collection on the Website
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the contact information in the legal notice section of this website. We collect your data, first, when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data you enter into a contact form. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This consists primarily of technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time the page was accessed). This data is collected automatically as soon as you access our website.
Analytics Tools and Third-Party Tools
When you visit our website, your browsing behavior may be analyzed for statistical purposes. This is primarily done using cookies and so-called analytics tools. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous; your browsing behavior cannot be traced back to you.
Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we will retain your personal data until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you withdraw your consent to data processing or object to the processing, and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, or if the data processing becomes legally impermissible for other reasons, the relevant data will be deleted, unless we are legally required to retain it for a longer period.
Recipients of Personal Data
Your data will be disclosed to various recipients to the extent necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or based on your prior consent. Possible recipients of personal data may include, among others: internal departments involved in carrying out the respective business processes, external contractors (service providers), or other external parties, provided that the data transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract or required by law.
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 for reasons arising from 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).
Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Austria is the Data Protection Authority. Further information and contact details can be found on its official website at www.dsb.gv.at.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically—based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract—provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will be done only to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
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, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right, where applicable, to have this data corrected, restricted, or deleted. 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 restriction of 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.
