For what purposes and on what legal basis is my personal data processed?

Further information on data processing in connection with the operation of our website can be found in the “Cookies” section.

Processing for the performance of a contract and for pre-contractual measures carried out at your request: If you book a visit or contact us, we process the personal data provided in order to handle your request. If you provide a name for address during a visit, this will be processed during the visit and deleted immediately after it ends.

Processing based on legal obligations: Legal provisions also require us to process your personal data, e.g. for accounting, controlling, and compliance with tax law regulations.

Processing based on legitimate interests: A legitimate interest in data processing by us or third parties exists in the following cases:

  • Measures to protect employees, visitors, and our property
  • Exercising or defending legal claims
  • Ensuring our IT security and IT operations

 

Processing based on consent: If there is neither a contract, nor legal obligations, nor a legitimate interest, data processing can still be lawful — namely, if you have given us your consent to do so. The scope and content of this data processing always results from the respective consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future. If you withdraw your consent, the processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains lawful. This means that a withdrawal does not have retroactive effect.

Processing for statistical purposes: We also process your personal data for statistical purposes pursuant to § 7 of the Data Protection Act.

Am I obligated to provide my personal data? What happens if I do not want to?

We rely on your personal data for our business relationship (bookings, responding to contact inquiries). If you do not wish to provide it, we may unfortunately be unable to provide certain services. If we process your data solely on the basis of your consent, you are not obligated to give this consent or to provide the data.

Is there any decision-making based on automated processing – e.g. profiling?

No, no such processing takes place.

To whom is my personal data disclosed?

Your personal data may be disclosed to:

  • Processors and other service providers (controllers) commissioned by us, e.g. for IT, back office, legal and tax advice, provided they need the data for their task.
  • Third parties, if this is mandatory for the performance of a contract or due to legal provisions.
  • Public authorities and institutions, as well as persons acting under official authority, provided we are legally obligated to do so or in order to safeguard our legitimate interests, e.g. tax authorities.

Disclosure to third parties may also take place if and as long as you have consented to the disclosure.

A list providing an overview of possible recipients can be found here.

Is my personal data transferred to a third country?

Your personal data may be transferred to a third country in the following cases:

  • If this is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or if there is a legal obligation to do so, e.g. upon official request within the framework of a mutual legal assistance agreement.
  • If this is necessary for your contract or for pre-contractual measures.
  • Our processors and sub-processors may be based in third countries. Unless the transfer is based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, we transfer the data on the basis of suitable or appropriate safeguards. Upon request, we are happy to provide you with these.
  • In other cases where data is transferred to a third country, you will be informed separately.

 

How long is my personal data retained?

Your personal data is retained for as long as necessary for the respective purpose, for example if a law requires retention.

Legal provisions that are relevant for us include, for example:

  • Austrian Commercial Code (Unternehmensgesetzbuch) § 212 (7 years)
  • Federal Fiscal Code (Bundesabgabenordnung) § 132 (7 years, or for the duration of a tax procedure)

Detailed Information on Recipients, Services, and Cookies

We have created a detailed list of the services used on this website and their cookies. Please note that we have no influence on the online services used by third parties, and it is therefore possible that a service may in turn activate other services. Example: “YouTube” from the category “External Media” also loads tracking pixels on its own, which are assigned to the category “Marketing.” In addition, the services used by third parties may change at short notice and without our knowledge.

Sometimes it is necessary for other parties to receive your personal data, for example because this is legally required or necessary for the performance of an order. Below you will find an overview of the possible recipients of your data.

Please note:

An entry in this list does not necessarily mean that your data is disclosed to all recipients listed. Not every recipient automatically receives all personal data stored by us.

In order to provide our services, we engage processors, including sub-processors. These are legally and contractually obligated to process your personal data only for our purposes and on our instructions, see Art. 28 GDPR.

In this sense, they act as our “extended arm.” A processor may be located within the European Economic Area (EEA) or outside of it, i.e., in a so-called “third country.” If the processor is located in a third country, we will separately indicate the legal basis on which the transfer is based. In any case, the following applies: All customer data is securely stored in a data center in Austria.
