Definitions

“Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Relevant legal basis
In accordance with the provision in Article 13 of the GDPR, we hereby provide information regarding the legal basis for our data processing activity. In as far as the legal basis is not mentioned in the GDPR, the following is valid: The legal basis for obtaining consent is provided by Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing in order to provide our services and comply with our legal duties is provided by Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to pursue our legitimate interests is provided by Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Should processing be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, then the legal basis is provided by Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.

Security measures
In accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR, we take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and the resilience of processing systems and services, as well as associated access, input, disclosure, guarantee of availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have installed processes that guarantee the implementation of user rights, data deletion and reaction to threats to the data. We also take the protection of personal data into account even during development, e.g. the selection of hardware, software and processes according to the principle of data protection via technological design and by data protective settings (Article 25, GDPR).

Cooperation with processors and third parties
In as far as during processing we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit data to them or otherwise provide them access to the data, this is only done based on the legal permissions (e.g. if required for the fulfilment of contractual obligations, data has to be provided to third parties such as payment services, in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), if you have consented, if it is a legal requirement to do so, or based on our legitimate interests (e.g. when using authorised representatives, web hosts, etc.).
If third parties are to be contracted with the processing of data on the basis of what is known as “processing contract”, this is done based on Article 28 of the GDPR.

Transfers to third countries
In as far as we process data in a third country (i.e. outside of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or this occurs within the framework of utilising the services of a third party, or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this is only done to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process data or have data processed in a third country if the special prerequisites of Article 44 of the GDPR are met. This means that the processing is done for example on the basis of particular guarantees such as the officially recognised declaration of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. by the Privacy Shield in the USA) or under consideration of officially recognised special contractual obligations (called “standard contract clauses”).

In accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to demand the completion of the data related to you or to demand the rectification of incorrect personal data.

Contacting us
When contacting us (via e-mail), the data the user provides will be used to process and deal with the user’s request in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) and Article 1(b) of the GDPR (steps to be taken prior to entering into a contract). E-mail requests are usually answered as soon as possible within normal office working hours and your data is deleted, if your request has been dealt with and the deletion is not in opposition to any legal storage requirements, for example, to close a subsequent contract.

Members login area
If you are a registered user of our web site, you can log into and use a private member’s area that you can manage yourself. We will provide you with user identification so that you can manage the user profile, whereby you can determine the password. The aim of the processing is verification of the user, management of the user profile, and the input, management and updating of your data. The processing is based on fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Article 6 (1)(b) of the GDPR and the pursuit of our legitimate business interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The data required for user verification and the management of the user profile is only stored for the duration of the registration. The data that is processed to manage your membership are stored in principle for the duration of the valid membership. After membership has been terminated, only data that is necessary is stored for the legally permissible period dictated by the applicable legal requirements and record-keeping obligations (Austrian Fiscal Code, Austrian Commercial Code, Austrian Civil Code etc.)

Data deletion
The data we processed will be erased in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the GDPR, or their processing will be limited. In as far as not explicitly stated in this privacy statement, the stored data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were gathered unless their erasure is not permissible for legal data retention purposes. If the data is not deleted because they are required for other and legally admissible purposes, their use will be limited. This means that the data is locked and will not be used for other purposes. This is true for example for data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.
According to legal requirements in Austria, data retention is required in particular for 7 years according to § 132(1) of the Austrian Fiscal Code (accounting documentation, invoices/bills, accounts, receipts, business papers, statement of revenue and expenditure, etc.), for 22 years in the context of land plots and for 10 years for documentation in the context of electronically provided services, telecommunications/radio/television services, provided for non-commercial parties and for which the Mini-One-Stop-Shop (MOSS) service has been used.

Provision of our statutory and commercial services
We process data belonging to our members, supporters, interested parties, customers and other persons in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, in as far as we offer them contractual services, or we become active in an existing business arrangement, for example towards members, or are the recipients of services and contributions. Otherwise we process data of data subjects according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of pursuit of our legitimate interests, for example, if it is an administrative or a public matter. The data processed in this case, the type, scope, purpose and necessity of their processing are determined by the contractual relationship they are based upon. This includes basic identification and contact data of the persons (e.g. name and address, etc.), as well as their contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, etc.), the contract data (e.g. services consumed, information and content provided and name of the contact person) and, in as far as we offer payable services or products, payment data (e.g. bank account, payment history, etc.).
We erase data that is no longer necessary to fulfil our statutory and business purpose. This is defined according to the individual task and contractual relationship. In the case of business-related processing, we retain the data for as long as it could be relevant to fulfilling our business, also with regard to any warranty or liability duties. The necessity for data retention is reassessed every three years; other than this, the legal data retention obligations apply.
