Privacy Policy according to Art. 13 and Art. 14 GDPR
Preamble
We collect, process, and use your personal data in accordance with the following statements, while complying with data protection and civil law regulations. With this privacy policy, we explain what personal data is processed by affected persons. Personal data means all information that can be used to identify your person and which can be traced back to you - for example, your name, email address, and phone number.
Responsible for data processing
The management is responsible for data processing. No data protection officer has been appointed as the legal requirements for this are not met.
The data protection coordinator can be reached at the following email address: datenschutz@gawgroup.com
Data security
We take data protection very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. The protection of your personal data is ensured by appropriate organizational and technical measures. These measures relate in particular to protection against unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental access, processing, loss, use, and manipulation.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet, for example, can be subject to security gaps. Complete protection against access by strangers is not possible. Despite efforts to maintain an always appropriate level of care requirements, it cannot be completely ruled out that information you disclose to us over the Internet may be viewed and misused by other people.
Please note that we therefore assume no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g., hacking of email accounts or phones, interception of faxes).
Newsletter
For our newsletter, you separately give your voluntary and informed consent. These consents can be revoked at any time, for example by sending an email to datenschutz@gawgroup.com
Visitors to our website
Certain data of visitors are also processed via server log files (visited website, time of access, amount of data sent in bytes, source/reference from which you accessed the page, browser and language settings used, operating system used, IP address, referrer URL). The data collected is used solely for statistical evaluations and to improve the website. All data is stored in pseudonymous form. We reserve the right to check this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.
Rights of users
You can contact us at any time to exercise your legal rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, in particular the right to information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to rectification; right to erasure of incorrect or unlawfully processed data; right to object (provided there is a legitimate interest); right to revoke consent; right to restriction of processing and blocking; and right to data portability (provided there is consent or a contractual relationship). If there are changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.
These requests for information, deletion, correction, objection, and/or data transfer, in the latter case, provided that it does not entail disproportionate effort, must be directed to the data protection coordinator at datenschutz@gawgroup.com . Please attach a clear and comprehensible proof of identification so that we can transmit the data protection-compliant response to the actually affected person. We will respond to the request within one month at the latest and, in the event of a rejection, provide reasons for it. In the case of a justified request for deletion or correction, this will also be forwarded to the recipients of personal data, i.e., those to whom the data is further transmitted in an automated way.
In the event of data breaches, we will notify you and the competent supervisory authority of the affected data categories if required by law.
Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
If you believe that the processing of your personal data by us violates applicable data protection law or if your data protection rights have been otherwise infringed, you have the possibility to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is responsible for this, Hohenstaufengasse 3, 1010 Vienna, telephone: +43 1 531 15-202525, fax: +43 1 531 15-202690, email: dsb@dsb.gv.at, https://www.dsb.gv.at/.
Transmission to third parties/recipients in third countries
It may also be necessary to transfer your data to third parties (e.g., authorities/courts; tax advisors/banks; IT service providers; advertising companies; chamber of commerce; providers; website hosting companies; social media; company website; other service providers, insurers we use and provide data to, etc.). Your data will only be transferred under the conditions of the GDPR, in particular to fulfill the contract or based on your prior consent.
As a rule, your personal data that we process will not be transferred to recipients in third countries. However, some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that in Austria and Germany. However, we only transfer your personal data to countries for which the European Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection, or we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection, for which we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC) or sufficient suitable contractual guarantees exist.
