Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our primary responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed both by us and by our external service providers.

Definitions

The law requires that personal data be processed in a lawful manner, in good faith and in a manner that is comprehensible to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions which are also used in this data protection declaration:

1. personal data

"Personal data" shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person

2. processing

"Processing" means any operation or set of operations, whether or not by automatic means, performed upon personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

3. restriction of the processing

"'restriction of processing' means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future

4. profiling

"profiling' means any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular with a view to analysing or predicting aspects relating to the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, location or movement of that natural person

5. pseudonymisation

"pseudonymisation" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data cannot be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person

6. file system

"File system" is any structured collection of personal data that is accessible according to certain criteria, regardless of whether this collection is managed centrally, decentrally or according to functional or geographical criteria.

7. person responsible

"controller" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or national law, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her designation may be provided for by Union or national law

8. processor

"processor" means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller

9. the recipient

"Recipient" is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or national law shall not be considered as recipients; the processing of such data by those authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules and in compliance with the purposes of the processing.

10. third parties

"Third party" means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

11. consent

A "consent" of the data subject is any freely given, informed and unambiguous expression of will in the specific case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Lawfulness of processing

The processing of personal data is lawful only if there is a legal basis for the processing. Pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. a - f DSGVO, the legal basis for processing may be in particular

a. The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;

We provide a copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing. For any further copies that you request as an individual, we may charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs. If you make the request electronically, the information shall be provided in a standard electronic format, unless the request states otherwise. The right to receive a copy in accordance with paragraph 3 shall not prejudice the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right of rectification

You have the right to ask us to correct incorrect personal data concerning you without delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

(5) Right of erasure ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to demand that the person responsible for your personal data be immediately deleted, and we are obliged to delete personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

a. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

b. The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a FADP and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c. The data subject lodges an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 paragraph 1 DPA and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject lodges an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 paragraph 2 DPA.

e. The deletion of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

f. The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the DPA.

Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to delete them in accordance with paragraph 1, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform controllers who process the personal data that a data subject has requested them to delete all links to those personal data or to make copies or replications of them.

The right of cancellation ("right to be forgotten") does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

- for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information; - to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing in accordance with Union or national law to which the controller is subject or in order to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; - for reasons of public interest relating to public health pursuant toArticle 9 paragraph 2 letters h and i as well as Article 9 paragraph 3 DPA; - for archiving, scientific or historical research purposes in the public interest or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 paragraph 1 DPA, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously hamper the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or - for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

(6) Right to limitation of processing

You have the right to ask us to limit the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

a. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period of time which enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data

b. the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to have the personal data deleted and instead requests that the use of the personal data be restricted;

c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims; or

d. the data subject has lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 paragraph 1 DPA, as long as it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, these personal data - apart from being stored - are processed only with the consent of the data subject or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

In order to exercise the right to limit the processing, the data subject may at any time contact us at the contact details given above.

(7) Right to data transferability

You have the right to obtain the personal data concerning you which you have provided us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer such data to another controller without interference from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that:

a. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b DPA, and b. the processing is carried out by means of automated procedures.

When exercising the right to transfer data in accordance with paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller to the extent technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data transferability shall be without prejudice to the right of deletion ("right to be forgotten"). This right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(8) Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letters e or f of the DPA, including profiling based on these provisions.

Where personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it relates to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, your personal data will no longer be processed for those purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, you may exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, without prejudice to Directive 2002/58/EC.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for the purposes of scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes, as referred to in Article 89(1), except where such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the person responsible.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect on you or which significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision:

a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller,

b. is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; or

c. with the express consent of the person concerned.

The data controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of the data controller, to express his point of view and to contest the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the relevant controller.

(10) Right to complain to a supervisory authority

you also have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to submit a complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident or working or in the place where the alleged infringement occurred, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him/her is being carried out in breach of this Regulation. In Austria this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna https://www.dsb.gv.at/

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to appeal to a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 of the DPA, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data contrary to this Regulation.
