Privacy Policy.
The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. Therefore, we will process your data exclusively on the basis of statutory provisions (the EU General Data Protection Regulations (hereinafter referred to as “the GDPR”) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2003 (TKG)). In the information contained in this privacy policy, we are informing you about the most important aspects of data processing for the purposes of our website.
General recording of access
We collect a set of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information are stored in log files on a server. The following are recorded:
- An internet protocol address (IP address),
- The date and time of access to the website,
- The exact subpage that was accessed on our website,
- The website from which you came to our website (the so-called referrer),
- The browser used and its version,
- The operating system used for access.
The above-mentioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
- To ensure a trouble-free connection to the website,
- To optimise the content of our website for you,
- To ensure system security and stability.
This data is in your and our legitimate interest. In addition, we may also use said data to comply with our legal obligations to cooperate with law enforcement authorities. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The storage period of these log files is two months.
Contact by e-mail, telephone or post
So that we can respond to your concerns at any time, we will also process personal data if you contact us by email, telephone or post. This data processing only includes data that you make available to us when you contact us, in particular, your name, address, telephone number, email address and other personal data that may be included in the description of your request. In any case, we will store this data for the duration of the processing of your request. In particular, if contact takes place within the framework of an existing contractual relationship or a new contractual relationship arises as a result thereof, we will also store this data for the duration of the existing documentation and storage obligations.
During this time, we will not pass on the data provided when contacting us to third parties without authorisation under any circumstances. The legal basis for data processing is a legitimate interest in communicating with potential new customers (Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR), your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR) and, if contact ensues as part of an existing contractual relationship or a new contractual relationship arises as a result thereof, the necessity to fulfil a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR) or from a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR).
Contact form, Online application
If you contact us using the form on the website or by email, or if you submit something online to us, we will save the data you have provided and the general data described above. By using our form, you consent to the processing of your data. We do not pass your data on to third parties and we use the data exclusively to process any contact you make with us and to answer your respective request. If contact is made by email, the processing of the contact also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest with respect to the processing of the data. The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for the processing of the data that is transmitted in the context of sending an email is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The data transmitted to us in the course of establishing contact with us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the aforementioned purpose. As far as personal data from the contact form and the data sent by email are concerned, this is the case as soon as the respective conversation has ended. This, in turn, is the case as soon as the facts of the matter have been clarified conclusively according to the circumstances. Insofar as any contact is also aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis is Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR. In this case, we will keep your request as a business letter for seven years.
Reminder service
If you register for our reminder service, we will process and store your email address to send you regular email reminders of appointments as you have requested. Your consent to the processing of this data will be obtained as part of the registration process. We will keep your data on our side until you unsubscribe from the reminder service. We will not pass on your email address without your consent. Registration is required for the reminder service. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. You have the option to cancel your registration at any time. You can revoke your consent to the reminder service at any time and unsubscribe from this service without affecting the legality of the processing conducted on the basis of the consent up to the point of revocation. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in each reminder email or by sending a message to the contact details given in the Legal Notice section.
Start-up check
If you use our start-up check service, we record your name, email address, telephone number and postal address so we can send you a personal evaluation and offer you comprehensive advice on setting up your company as a precontractual measure. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR. We will keep the data on our side for seven years as a business letter. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
Newsletter
You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter via our website. For this, we need your email address and your consent that you agree to receive the newsletter as mandatory information.
If you do not provide the mandatory information, you will not receive a newsletter from us. This does not apply to the non-provision of voluntary information, which will only result in you not being addressed personally in the respective newsletter.
To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. This means that as soon as you have registered for the newsletter, we will send you a confirmation email with a link to confirm your registration. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your data will be deleted automatically. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to verify your registration so we can send you the newsletter and, if necessary, to be able to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. After your confirmation, we save your email address, IP address, registration date and time, as well as all voluntary information for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR.
You can revoke your consent for us to send the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email or by sending a message to the contact details given in the Legal Notice section. We will keep your data on our side for as long as your subscription is active. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
Your rights
In principle, you have the right to information, correction or deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, revocation and objection to processing. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection legislation or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority (DSB).
