Purpose of data processing

We process your personal data in particular in the context of a business relationship with you (or with a company that you represent). The data is processed on the basis of the contractual relationship (as well as a pre-contractual relationship when initiating a business relationship, Art 6 para 1 lit b GDPR). In particular, your name, your contact details (such as e-mail address, telephone number, home address), date of birth if applicable, citizenship, account data, possibly information regarding your creditworthiness, if necessary your social security data, as well as information from you in connection with the fulfilment of the contractual relationship (in particular documents, certificates, contracts, correspondence, financial data, etc.) are processed. Insofar as data is not collected from the data subject themselves, company register data, insolvency data and registration data are collected from publicly accessible databases.

Your personal data may also be processed on the basis of your consent, which can be revoked at any time (Art 6 para 1 lit a GDPR). In this case, we process your personal data in accordance with and to the extent of the consent you have given us.

Processing of your personal data may be necessary for the fulfilment of a legal or official/judicial obligation (Art 6 para 1 lit c GDPR; in particular retention obligations or reporting obligations to authorities on a legal basis).

In addition, processing may be carried out based on our legitimate interest in processing. In such a case, the processing is carried out under the necessary, proportionate protection of our legitimate interests as the controller or its group companies and the other recipients (Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR), such as in particular for administrative optimisation and simplification, and if there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data, furthermore to prevent physical damage or financial loss, to carry out direct advertising (marketing and information measures, in particular about products and services offered by the group companies, e.g. newsletters), for IT security and technical administration and for customer administration purposes. The processing here includes all data processed within the scope of the contractual relationship if this is necessary to fulfil the purpose.

 

 

Potential recipients of personal data

There are the following categories of recipients within the meaning of Art 13 para 1 lit e GDPR:

Group companies of the controller
Processor of the order
Funding agencies or partners
Social insurance organisations
Public authorities
Third-party providers and cooperation partners (e.g. development service providers; credit card providers, banks)
Debt collection service provider, legal and tax advisors and experts for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims
Auditing companies for the fulfilment of accounting obligations
Courts for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims

 

 

Storage and retention of personal data

Your data will be stored by us in personal form for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose, in particular for the complete fulfilment of the entire business relationship (from the initiation to the execution to the termination of the contract) and until the fulfilment of legal obligations in accordance with statutory retention and documentation provisions (such as the 7-year retention periods for contracts and other documents as well as the associated correspondence in accordance with the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), Value Added Tax Act (UStG), etc.). In addition, data will be stored until the expiry of applicable compensation and warranty periods for the necessary assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (here until the end of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence), whereby the statutory limitation periods under the General Civil Code (ABGB) must be taken into account, which can lead to the storage of necessary documents for up to 30 years after termination of the contractual relationship.

The respective duration of the storage of your data is determined based on various criteria (in particular the legal basis on which the processing is based, the purpose to be achieved and, if applicable, your consent). If your personal data is processed based on your consent, it will be stored and processed for as long as you have given your consent (and we have not received any objection from you).
