Anonymous or anonymised data, on the other hand, are not personal data. Such data is not subject to the scope of application of the data protection regulations. As far as possible, the Company tries to process data in anonymised form. This is done, for example, by recording collected data under a pseudonym rather than with your name, so that it is not possible to trace the data back to a specific or identifiable person.
The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis or the consent of the person concerned.

  • First name
  • Last name / company
  • Employer
  • Address (street, house number, postal code, place and country)

Should you contact us via the contact form, an email will be sent to a standard email address. Personal data processed via the contact form is regularly deleted by the Company every 6 months.
Exceptions to this are personal data that are necessary due to legal retention periods and for the enforcement of legal claims. This data will not be deleted, but will be blocked from access in order to prevent access for other purposes. Should these reasons cease to apply, this personal data will also be deleted or anonymised or pseudonymised.

However, personal data is also collected by means of so-called cookies when you navigate on or through this website.

The IP address is anonymised via Matomo. This data is processed by the Company in order to ensure a smooth connection and a safe and comfortable use of the Company's website.

The Company only uses personal data provided that the content and purpose of the use of the data is covered by the Company's legal authority and that your confidentiality interests meriting protection are not violated. The legal authority of the company results from the business licence that has been granted and the Articles of Association.

Your confidentiality interests worthy of protection are safeguarded by the Company, for example, in that you have consented to the use of your personal data. This consent can be revoked at any time using the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. Revocation will render any further use of the personal data inadmissible if the use of the data is based solely on your consent and your confidentiality interests meriting protection cannot be safeguarded in any other way.

Insofar as consent is required, the Company will invite you to give such consent directly at the time of collecting such personal data.

Should the use also include a transfer to third parties, you will also be informed about the recipient of the transfer and the purpose of the transfer.

Your confidentiality interests worthy of protection will also be safeguarded by the Company in that overriding legitimate interests of the Company or a third party require the use of your personal data. In this context, your interests in the protection of the respective personal data will be balanced against the interests of the Company or a third party in the use of this data.

11. Hyperlinks

Our website contains so-called hyperlinks to websites of other providers. When you activate these hyperlinks, you will be redirected from our website directly to the website of the other providers. One way you can recognise this is by the change of URL that is displayed in your browser. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please inform yourself about the handling of your personal data by these companies directly on these websites.

 

 

12. Data protection measures

The Company has taken appropriate technical and organisational precautions to ensure the protection of your personal data. This is to prevent any unauthorised access, collection, use, publication, duplication, modification or erasure of personal data. To this end, this data is secured on protected servers within Austria. The technical data protection measures applied include password enforcement, logging, access controls, firewalls and anti-virus programmes. The organisational data protection measures used include the four-eyes principle, restriction of data access for selected employees, random checks, non-disclosure agreements and contractual declarations of commitment.

Should personal data be transferred to the USA or to another country with a lower level of data protection than that of the EU, the Company shall ensure in advance that an adequate level of data protection exists.

 

 

13. Data subject rights

Of course, the Company grants you a right of access, a right of rectification or erasure and a right of objection concerning the use of your personal data.

Pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, the data subject is entitled at any time to request confirmation as to whether personal data relating to him/her are being processed and, where appropriate, to obtain information about such personal data from the controller. In particular, the data subject may request information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom their data have been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of their data if it has not been collected by us, about a transfer to third countries or to international organisations as well as about the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.

Pursuant to Article 16 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have their personal data corrected (completed) without delay. Pursuant to Article 17 GDPR, the data subject may request the erasure of their personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is contested by you, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their erasure because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. You also have the right under Article 18 GDPR if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR. This also applies to the automated processing of the personal data of the data subject. In addition, the data subject has the right to object to the direct marketing of their personal data. Consent to the processing of your data within the scope of the newsletter mailing can be revoked at any time. The Company does not carry out profiling (evaluation).

The data subject is requested to inform the Company of any changes to their personal data.

The Company's obligation to inform or provide information under data protection law is limited in particular by the obligation to maintain confidentiality, if any.

As far as possible and not involving a disproportionate effort, recipients of personal data that have been corrected, deleted or whose processing has been restricted shall be informed by the controller. If the data subject so requests, they shall be informed of these recipients.

Pursuant to Article 20 GDPR, data subjects have the right to receive personal data relating to them and which have been provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, as well as the transmission of this data to another controller. When exercising the right to data transfer, the data subject may request that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The exercise of this right under Article 20 GDPR is without prejudice to the exercise of the right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR. This right shall not apply to any processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
In the event that data is used by the Company on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time. Upon receipt of the revocation, the Company will immediately cease to use the personal data concerned, provided that the use of the data is based solely on your consent. The Company may continue to use the personal data concerned if it is anonymised beforehand in such a way that it is impossible to attribute it to a specific person.

In the event of a data breach which is likely to result in a high risk to the personal rights and freedoms of individuals, the controller shall notify the data subject and/or the data protection authority.

All rights must be asserted to the Company in writing (see below for contact details). In order to prevent abuse, the data subject must prove their identity in advance in a suitable form. The right to information is available to every data subject for an unlimited number of times. The provision of information by the Company is free of charge once a year and any additional expenditure incurred will be invoiced after information has been provided in advance.

In accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR, you can revoke your consent at any time by contacting us at the email address of the data protection officer given above. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing(s) based on this consent for the future.

The data subject may obtain information from the controller at any time in order to exercise their rights with regard to the processing.

In general, a complaint may be lodged with the supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of the place where you usually reside, your place of work or our Company headquarters.

 

 

14. Right of objection

When your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, insofar as there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation, or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the case of direct advertising, you have a general right of objection, which we implement without any indication of a specific situation.
