1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Responsibility for processing in the Wietersdorfer Group

The responsible party within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national data protection laws of the Member States as well as other data protection regulations is:

Wietersdorfer Alpacem GmbH
Ferdinand-Jergitsch-Straße 15
9020 Klagenfurt
Austria

There is no internal data protection officer within the Wietersdorfer Group, as this is not required by law. However, the Wietersdorfer Group does have a central data protection officer (data protection coordinator), who will support you in all matters

1.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and in particular their right to the protection of personal data. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address or IP address. Information for which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. by anonymizing the information, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis or your consent.
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

When processing your personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interests, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

1.3. Passing on data

We only pass on your data within the Wietersdorfer Group if this serves to fulfill your request or your interest. We always maintain the confidentiality of your data.

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if you have given your express consent to this (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this is necessary to fulfil a contractual relationship with you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), if there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or if the disclosure is necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests and for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

1.4. Cooperation with processors

We carefully select our service providers who process personal data on our behalf. If we commission third parties with the processing of personal data on the basis of a contract processing agreement, this is done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

1.5. Storage period in general

Unless an explicit storage period is specified when collecting data, we are obliged to delete personal data as soon as the purpose of their processing no longer exists, in accordance with Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR. In this context, we would like to point out that legal retention obligations to which we are subject constitute a legitimate purpose for the further processing of the personal data collected by them.

Data will be stored and retained by us in personal form in principle until the termination of a business relationship or until the expiry of applicable guarantee, warranty or limitation periods, beyond that until the termination of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence, or in any case until the expiry of the third year after the last contact with a business partner.

Below (under point 2) you will find specific information on the individual data processing operations on our website.

1.6. Your rights

You are generally entitled to the following rights:

Right to revoke your consent pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR: You may revoke the consent you have given at any time. The revocation of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until the revocation.

Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: You can request information about the personal data we process (e.g. processing purposes, category of personal data, categories of recipients, etc.).

Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR: You may request the rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay. Likewise, you may request the completion of incomplete data.

Right to deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: You may request that we delete personal data concerning you without undue delay. The right does not apply if the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority, for reasons of public interest in the area of public health services, for archiving purposes in the public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You may request us to restrict processing if the accuracy of your personal data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to the erasure of the personal data, your data is no longer required by us, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.

Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, in a structured, common or machine-readable format. However, this only covers those of your personal data that we have processed with the help of automated processes after your consent or on the basis of a contract.

Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR: You may object to the processing of your personal data that is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest, provided that there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right does not exist if there are compelling legitimate grounds on our part for further processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

The competent supervisory authority in Austria is:

In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection in the case of data transfer to the USA and thus different risks (e.g. access by US secret services) may exist.Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are small text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.Information about the use of the website such as browser type/version, operating system used, the previously visited page, host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server request are usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other data from Google.

    We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled by adding the code “anonymizeIP” to this website. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. Moreover, the use requires your explicit consent.
