General information on data processing

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In accordance with Art. 13 DSGVO, we inform you about the legal basis of our data processing. If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) a DSGVO. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Data deletion and storage period

We adhere to the principles of data minimization according to Art. 5 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO and storage limitation according to Art. 5 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO. We store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the retention periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose ceases to apply or after the expiry of these retention periods, the corresponding data will be deleted as soon as possible.

Note on data transfer to third countries

Our website also includes tools from companies based in third countries (including the USA). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transmitted to the servers of the respective companies. The level of data protection in third countries generally does not correspond to EU data protection law. This means that there is a risk that your data will be passed on to authorities in these countries. We have no influence on these processing activities.

External links

This website may contain links to third party websites or to other websites under our responsibility. If you follow a link to one of the websites outside our responsibility, please note that these websites have their own data protection information. We do not assume any responsibility or liability for these third-party websites and their privacy notices. Therefore, before using these websites, please check whether you agree with the data protection statements there.

You can recognize external links either by the fact that they are displayed in a different color from the rest of the text or underlined. Your cursor will display external links when you move it over such a link. Only when you click on an external link will your personal data be transferred to the target of the link. In doing so, the operator of the other website receives in particular your IP address, the time at which you clicked on the link, the page on which you clicked on the link, as well as further information, which you will find in the data protection notices of the respective provider.

Please also note that individual links may lead to data transfer outside the European Economic Area. This could give foreign authorities access to your data. You may not be entitled to any legal remedies against these data accesses. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the link destination or even undesirably exposed to access by foreign authorities, please do not click on any links.

Rights of the person concerned

As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you have the possibility to assert various rights. The data subject rights resulting from the GDPR are the right to information (Article 15), the right to rectification (Article 16), the right to erasure (Article 17), the right to restriction of processing (Article 18), the right to object (Article 21), the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and the right to data portability (Article 20).

Right of withdrawal:
Some data processing can only take place with your explicit consent. You have the possibility to revoke your given consent at any time. However, the lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation is not affected by this.

Right of objection:
If the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO, you, as the data subject, may object to the processing of personal data relating to you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. You also have this right in the case of profiling based on these provisions iSd Art. 4 Z 4 DSGVO. If we cannot demonstrate a legitimate interest for the processing that overrides your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, we will refrain from processing your data after the objection has been made.

If the processing of personal data serves the purpose of direct marketing, you also have the right to object at any time. The same applies to profiling associated with direct advertising. Here, too, we will no longer process personal data as soon as you raise an objection.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability:
If your data is processed automatically on the basis of consent or performance of a contract, you have the right to receive this data in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

You also have the right to request that the data be transferred and made available to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

Right of access, rectification and deletion:
You have the right to obtain information about your processed personal data regarding the purpose of the data processing, the categories, the recipients as well as the duration of the storage. If you have any questions on this topic or on other topics regarding personal data, you can of course contact us using the contact options provided in the imprint.

Right to restriction of processing:
You can assert the restriction of the processing of your personal data at any time. To do so, you must meet one of the following requirements:

You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. For the duration of the verification of the accuracy, you have the right to request a restriction of processing.
If processing is carried out unlawfully, you may request restriction of the use of the data as an alternative to erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, you may, as an alternative to erasure, request restriction of processing.
If you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests will be carried out. Until this balancing has taken place, you have the right to request the restriction of processing.

Restriction of processing has the effect that the personal data, apart from storage, may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

Instead of operating this website on our own server, we can also have it operated on the server of an external service provider (hosting company). In this case, the personal data collected on this website will be stored on the servers of the hosting company. In addition to the data mentioned above, this may include, for example, contact requests, contact data, names, website access data, meta and communication data, contract data and other data generated via a website.

As a further legal basis, the purpose of the pre-contract or contract performance vis-à-vis the data subject is cited. (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO). In the event that we have commissioned a hosting company, there is an order processing contract with this service provider.
