National data protection regulations in Austria: In addition to the data protection regulations of the Data Protection Basic Regulation, national regulations apply to data protection in Austria. These include in particular the Federal Act on the Protection of Individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Data Protection Act – DSG). In particular, the Data Protection Act contains special provisions on the right to information, the right to correction or deletion, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission, as well as automated decision-making in individual cases.

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO) – The data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of his/her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Contract performance and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. DSGVO) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. DSGVO) – Processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the data controller or of a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing takes place in the context of the use of services of third parties or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this is only done in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or transfer required by contract or law, we will only process or have the data processed in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, including US processors certified under the “Privacy Shield”, or on the basis of special guarantees, such as a contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 DSGVO, information page of the EU Commission: ).
