General Information on Data Processing

  1. We collect and use our users‘ personal data only if this is necessary to provide a functional website with our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users occurs only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
  2. If we obtained the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is required to perform a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
  3. The personal data of the data subject concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
  4. Furthermore, we can pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer participation in campaigns, competitions, contracts or similar services together with partners. You will receive more information on this matter when you provide your personal data or at the bottom of the description of the offer. If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences in the description of the offer.

Objection or Revocation against the Processing of your Data

This is the case, if the processing is not necessary to fulfill a contract with you, which we describe in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

Erasure of data

  • The data processed by us will be erased or restricted in their processing in accordance with Article 17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be erased as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the erasure does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements.

  • If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, which means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes.

  • Furthermore, the statutory limitation periods, which according to the “Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, ABGB” (Austrian Civil Law Code) can be up to 30 years in certain cases (the general limitation period is 3 years), must be taken into account for the storage period for the duration of the entire business relationship from the initiation, during the execution and until the termination of a contract and beyond, in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. These result among others from the “Unternehmensgesetzbuch, UGB” (Austrian Commercial Code) or the “Bundesabgabenordnung, BAO” (Austrian Federal Fiscal Code) as well as the following legal points §29 BFA-VG, §132 Abs. 1 BAO, §212 UGB, Art. 2 § 54 DSG.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have the data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Article 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means that processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called „standard contractual clauses
