Privacy Policy

It is important to us to protect your personal data sufficiently. We therefore observe the applicable legal European and Austrian provisions, in particular the Basic Data Protection Regulation (“DSGVO”), the Austrian Data Protection Act (“DSG”) and the Telecommunications Act (“TKG”) when we process your data.

What data do we collect?

When you join our association, we will record your name and email address. We use this information for the purpose of membership management, outreach and delivery of the simplistic relevant information to fulfill our (pre-) contractual obligations and due to our legitimate interests.

Will your data be disclosed to third parties?

We leave your personal information to the extent necessary to external service providers (processors), as IT service providers or other suppliers of tools and software solutions that support us also in the provision of our services. We also disclose your personal data to the extent necessary for membership management to external parties based on our legitimate interests (for example, accountants, legal representative) and the starting and test case to authorities and other public bodies in the mandatory extent.

How is your data protected?

We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data. In addition, we are obliged to maintain confidentiality. Our concern in terms of DSGVO (legitimate interest) is to improve our offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized.

What rights you have over your data?

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
