Relevant legal bases

The following is an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that, in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection requirements may apply in your or our country of residence or place of residence. Should more specific legal bases also apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.

  • Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail.

In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Austria. This includes in particular the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act — DSG). In particular, the Data Protection Act contains special rules on the right to information, the right to rectification or deletion, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission, and automated decision-making in individual cases.

Safety measures

In accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, availability and separation of data relating to it. We have also set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and responses to the data being compromised. In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through privacy-friendly default settings.

SSL encryption (https): In order to protect your data transmitted via our online offering, we use SSL encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https://in the address bar of your browser.

Transfer of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons or disclosed to them. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers tasked with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or processing takes place as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this is only done in accordance with legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process or have the data processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses issued by the EU Commission, if certifications or binding internal data protection regulations exist (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Webflow

We host our website with Webflow. The provider is Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (hereinafter: Webflow). When you visit our website, Webflow collects various log files, including your IP addresses.

Webflow is a tool for building and hosting websites. Webflow stores cookies or other recognition technologies that are necessary to display the page, to provide certain website functions and to ensure security (necessary cookies).

For details, see Webflow's privacy policy: EU & Swiss Privacy Policy | Webflow 43.

Webflow is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: EU & Swiss Privacy Policy | Webflow 43.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as their consent permitted for processing is withdrawn or other permits no longer apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or they are not necessary for the purpose). Unless the data is deleted because it is necessary for other and legally permitted purposes, its processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Our data protection information may also contain further information on the storage and deletion of data, which applies primarily to the respective processing operations.

Use of cookies

Cookies are small text files or other memory notes that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. For example, to save the login status in a user account, shopping cart content in an e-shop, the content accessed or functions used on an online offer. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, e.g. for the purpose of the functionality, security and convenience of online offerings and the preparation of analyses of visitor flows.

Information on consent: We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, unless this is required by law. In particular, consent is not required if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide users with a telemedia service (i.e. our online offering) that they have expressly requested. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and contains information on the respective use of cookies.

Information on legal bases of data protection law: The legal basis on which data protection law we process users' personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is their declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in operating our online offering and improving its usability) or, if this is done as part of fulfilling our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. We will explain the purposes for which we process cookies in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing processes.

Storage period: With regard to storage time, the following types of cookies are differentiated:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session or session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed their device (e.g. browser or mobile application).
  • Persistent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. User data collected with the help of cookies can also be used to measure reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage period of cookies (e.g. when obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Users can withdraw their consent at any time and also object to processing in accordance with the legal requirements in Article 21 GDPR. Users can also declare their objection via their browser settings, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also limit the functionality of our online services). You can also object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ be explained.

Further information on processing processes, procedures and services:

  • Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management process, in which user consents to the use of cookies, or the processing and providers mentioned as part of the cookie consent management process, can be obtained and managed and withdrawn by users. The declaration of consent is saved so that you do not have to repeat the request again and to be able to prove your consent in accordance with the legal obligation. The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The period of storage of consent may be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored at the time of consent, information on the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system and device used.

Performing tasks in accordance with the statutes or rules of procedure

We process the data of our members, supporters, interested parties, business partners or other persons (collectively “data subjects”) when we have a membership or other business relationship with them and perform our tasks and are recipients of services and benefits. In addition, we process the data of data subjects on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g. when it comes to administrative tasks or public relations work.

The data processed in this process, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing, are determined by the underlying membership or contractual relationship, which also results in the need for any data (otherwise, we refer to required data).

We delete data that is no longer required to fulfill our statutory and commercial purposes. This is determined in accordance with the respective tasks and contractual relationships. We store the data for as long as it may be relevant to process the transaction and with regard to any warranty or liability obligations based on our legitimate interest in regulating them. The need to store the data is regularly checked; otherwise, the legal storage obligations apply.

Presences on social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and, within this framework, process user data in order to communicate with users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably match the interests of users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users' computers, in which user behavior and interests are stored. In addition, data can also be stored in the user profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

Even in the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you still need help, you can contact us.

  • Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers); content data (e.g. entries in online forms); usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

  • Purposes of processing: Contact requests and communication; feedback (e.g. collecting feedback via online form); marketing.
  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Plug-ins and embedded features and content

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offering, which are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may include, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

Integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the users' IP addresses, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or functions. We make every effort to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and the operating system, referring websites, the time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
  • Affected persons: users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offering and user-friendliness.
