What are personal data?

Personal data means information relating to persons who are personally identifiable or have been identified (such as name, address, email address, telephone number, etc.).

  

Which of your personal data do we process and where do we get these data from? 

We process those of your personal data that we receive in the course our business relationship with you. Personal data include details of your person (name, address, contact details, etc.) and your credentials (such as ID data). In addition, this may include order data (e.g. payment orders), advertising and sales data, documentation data (e.g. consulting protocols), offers, and data for the fulfilment of legal obligations. These data are either obtained directly from you or provided to us by third parties, such as our partner companies.

 

For what purpose and on what legal basis are the data processed?

We either process your data for 

  • the implementation of pre-contractual measures or for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations (Art 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR) in the context of our business relationship. 
  • on basis of your consent (Art 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if you have given us your consent for contacting you to send offers, advertisements (promotional purposes) or for the transfer of data to the manufacturer/importer, 

or for the 

  • fulfilment of our legal obligations (Art 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or 
  • due to rightful interest in data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

 

Processing of your data supports the establishment and implementation of our business relationship or the execution of the corresponding order. If you don't provide us with data, we generally have to refuse to sign a contract or implement an order or we can no longer execute an existing contract and consequently have to terminate it.

 

Should consent be required for data processing, we will ask for it. In any case, consents are voluntary. If you have given us consent for the processing of your personal data for specific purposes, processing based on this consent will be carried out in accordance with what was specified in the consent declaration and to the extent agreed therein. A granted consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future in writing or by email. This will not adversely affect the legality of any processing of data till that time.

 

You are not obliged to give consent to processing of those data that are not relevant or required for the fulfilment of the contract or the corresponding commission. 

 

Furthermore we inform you that we do not use automated decisions, according to Art 22 GDPR, to reach decisions regarding the establishment and conduct of a business relationship. 

 

Will your data be passed on?

We will only pass on your data to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of the objective of the agreement.

 

Within our company only those departments or employees will receive your data who need them for the fulfilment of contractual and/or legal obligations. Furthermore we pass on your data within our group only to the extent required for the fulfilment of contractual and/or legal obligations, for instance because a certain brand is only available from a certain company of our group. 

 

In order to fulfil the purpose, it might be necessary that your personal data have to be disclosed to the following recipients. This disclosure might be by means of transfer, dissemination or any other kind of provision.

  • IT companies for provision, maintenance and support of our IT system as well as for  IT-based implementation for the purpose of data processing,
  • related group companies, 
  • tax advisers and public accountants for the purpose of, and as support for the fulfilment of our fiscal obligations (Austrian Commercial Code, Federal Fiscal Code, etc.),
  • insurance companies or request portals for insurance damage, for the purpose of claims settlement and billing vis-à-vis the latter as well as for the settlement of our insurance cases, 
  • marketing partners (graphic designers, advertising agencies, printing houses, shipping companies, phone-marketing, newspaper publishers), for forwarding advertising material, should you have given your consent, 
  • after-sales partners
  • legal representation, safety authorities, competent courts or authorities for prosecution.

 

How long do we store your data?

We will store your data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which we collected your data. In any case, we will store your data for as long as there are legal retention times (Austrian Commercial Code, Federal Fiscal Code, among others) or periods of limitation for potential legal claims have not yet expired (in certain cases up to 30 years).

 

What are your rights regarding data processing?

According to the applicable law, amongst other considerations you are entitled to 

-    verify whether and which personal date we are processing and to receive copies of these data, 

-       require correction, amendment or deletion of personal data that are being processed wrongly or not in conformity with the law, 

-       require that we limit the processing of data, 

-       disagree with the processing of personal data,

-      be informed about the identity of third parties to whom personal data are passed. 

 

Provided we process your data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to recall this consent at any time via email or postal letter. However, this will not compromise the legality of data processing till that date.

 

Furthermore you have the right to make a complaint to the Austrian data protection authority or to another data protection supervisory authority in the EU, in particular at your place of residence or place of work.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by means of a corresponding setting on your browser software; however, we draw your attention to the fact that, in this case, you might not be able to use all of the functions of this website to the full extent.

Social Media plug-ins

This website uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) of the facebook.com social network, operated by Facebook Inc., CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plug-ins can be recognised by the Facebook logo (white "f" on blue background or a "thumbs-up" sign), or are labelled with the endorsement "Facebook Social Plugin". The list of and appearance of Facebook social plug-ins can be viewed here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

 

If you access a website that is part of our Internet presence and contains such a plug-in, your browser makes a direct connection to Facebook servers. The plug-in content is passed by Facebook directly to your browser, which embeds it in the website. We therefore have no influence over the scope of data collected by Facebook with the aid of this plug-in and consequently offer the information below according to our state of knowledge 

 

As a result of integration of the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our Internet presence. If you are logged into Facebook, it is possible for Facebook to link your visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the Like button or adding a comment, the corresponding information is passed from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a Facebook member, it is nevertheless possible that Facebook determines and stores your IP address. 

 

For details of the purpose and scope of data collection and subsequent processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this connection and options for settings to protect your privacy, please consult Facebook’s data protection information on: www.facebook.com/policy.php.

 

If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our Internet presence and link them with your membership data stored at Facebook, you have to log out of Facebook before visiting our Internet presence. 

 

It is also possible to block Facebook social plug-ins using add-ons for your browser, with Facebook Blocker for example.

 

The legal basis for processing the data is the user’s consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Subject to your consent, this website also uses “Custom Audiences from customer lists” of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.

Inclusion of third-party services and content 

We include third-party content and services in our online provision on the basis of our justified interests (i.e. interests in the analysis, optimisation and commercial operation of our online provision in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), in order to include their content and services, such as maps and fonts (hereafter summarised as “content”). This always requires that the third-party-providers of this content have access to the users’ IP addresses, because without the IP addresses they would not be able to send the content to the users’ browsers. So the IP address is necessary in order to display this content. We take care only to use content whose corresponding providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of content. Furthermore, third-party providers can use so-called pixel-tags (invisible graphics, also called “web beacons”) for statistical marketing purposes. “Pixel-tags” can be used to collect information such as visitor traffic to the pages of a particular website. Such pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on users’ devices, containing technical information such as browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other data about use of our online provision, which can also be linked to such information from other sources.

The following description offers an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their data protection declarations, which contain further information about the processing of data and possibilities to object (so-called “opt-out”) mentioned to some extent already:
