When using the website for information purposes only, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server (server log files).

4.2 Cookies

Cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website.

Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer.

The cookie allows you to be recognized when you visit the website without having to re-enter data that you have already entered.

The information contained in the cookies is used, for example, to determine whether you are logged in or what data you have already entered, or to recognize you as a user when a connection is established between our web server and your browser.

We distinguish between technical cookies that are used exclusively to ensure the operation of a website and other cookies that are set by us or third-party providers for the purposes of statistical analysis, tracking or advertising/marketing.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (for technical cookies), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (for all other cookies)

4.3 Data processing in the USA

It cannot be ruled out that personal data will be transmitted to the USA when you visit our website. If this is the case, we will point this out separately in this privacy policy.

The GDPR requires so-called appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR for data transfers to a third country or an international organization.

The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. This decision stipulates that American companies that have submitted to the EU-US Privacy Framework guarantee an adequate level of protection for personal data. Personal data may be exchanged with these companies without additional guarantees.

However, in cases of data processing by US data recipients who are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the Privacy Shield, certain risks cannot be entirely ruled out for you as data subjects. These risks include:

• Your personal data may be shared with other third parties (e.g. US authorities) by the respective service provider.
• You may not be able to assert or enforce your rights of access against the respective service provider.
• There may be a higher probability that incorrect data processing may occur because the technical organizational measures for the protection of personal data do not fully meet the requirements of the GDPR in terms of quantity and quality.

By consenting to the processing of (advertising and marketing) cookies, you explicitly consent to the transfer of data to the USA. You can remove cookies stored on your PC yourself at any time by deleting the temporary internet files.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR

We operate the following social media sites: LinkedIn, Xing, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo. When you visit our social media presence, personal data, including the IP address of the respective provider, is processed and cookies are used for data collection. For detailed information on the specific data transmitted, please refer to the privacy policy of each service. There you will also find information about contact options and various privacy settings.

We prioritize comprehensive customer satisfaction and use these services primarily to be able to get in touch and communicate with you. We also see it as an additional option to our other existing information offerings.

In the case of US-based services, the data collected is generally sent to a server in the USA and stored there. We have no influence or control over the nature or extent of the data processed by these services, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. To limit the processing of this data in the respective settings of these services, please refer to the detailed descriptions in the privacy policies of the respective providers.

We would also like to point out that you use the respective services and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. sharing, commenting or rating).

The providers of the social media services have provided us with corresponding agreements – in most cases these are agreements on joint responsibility for data processing. The use of social media is based on our legitimate, operational interests.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

6.1 Purpose of the processing

We have set up a whistleblowing online portal on our website. The whistleblowing system makes it possible to contact us and report compliance and legal violations without fear of reprisals. If legally permissible, the report can also be made without providing personal data. We process personal data disclosed to us, in order to check the report made via the reporting office and to investigate the suspected compliance and legal violations. We may have queries in this regard. We use communication via the whistleblower system for this purpose.

6.2 Data processing in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR

We process the data that the whistleblower provides to us in the context of the report.

6.3 Data processing in accordance with Art. 14 GDPR

In addition, we process data of persons named by the whistleblower in the course of reporting violations (e.g. name data or functions of the persons who caused the violation, name data or functions of the persons who are also affected by a violation, description of behavior or actions of the person concerned in connection with the reported misconduct that could contribute to their identification).

6.4 Personal data, forwarding and legal basis

It is possible to use the whistleblowing system – as far as legally permissible – without providing personal data. However, personal data may be provided voluntarily as part of the whistleblowing process, in particular details of identity, first name and surname, country of residence, telephone number or email address.

When using anonymous communication with us, the IP address and current location are not stored at any point. After submitting a report, the person submitting the report will receive access data to the mailbox of the online portal so that they can continue to communicate with us in a protected manner.

To fulfill the stated purpose, it may also be necessary for us to transfer the personal data to external parties such as law firms, criminal or competition authorities, within or outside the European Union.

We process personal data we have received, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill legal obligations in terms of whistleblower protection on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and local data protection laws.

6.5 Responsible body

ZETA Holding GmbH, which can be contacted using the contact details provided, is responsible for the processing of personal data.

We use the whistleblowing online portal as a member of the ZETA Group.

The whistleblower system is operated by the business consultants commissioned by us, who act as independent controllers within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The company in question is VMCON OG, Opernring 2, 8010 Graz.

The whistleblowing system (.LOUPE) is provided by our processor, the software provider fobi solutions GmbH, Steinsiedlung 11, 4222 St. Georgen an der Gusen, Austria, with whom a corresponding data processing agreement has been concluded.

6.6 Duration of storage

We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to process your message or as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing your personal data. Data may be stored for longer if this has been stipulated by national or European legislation to fulfill legal obligations, such as retention obligations.

We neither collect nor store personal data that is not required for processing a reference. They will be deleted immediately if necessary.

After completion of the investigation, all reports and associated data are archived for a period of 5 years. After this period, we guarantee the irretrievable deletion or anonymization of all data. In addition, the data will be stored for as long as is necessary for official or legal proceedings that have already been initiated.

6.7 Your rights

Data subject rights in accordance with Art. 13 to 21 GDPR do not apply to persons affected by a tip-off in accordance with Section 8 (9) HSchG if this is necessary to protect the person providing the information or to investigate information (e.g: Right to information, right to access, right to erasure, right to object). The general data protection regulations apply to reports outside the scope of the HSchG.

If you are of the opinion that we have violated Austrian or European data protection law when processing your data and thereby infringed your rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Barichgasse 40 – 42, 1030 Vienna, telephone: +43 1 52 152-0, e-mail: dsb@dsb.gv.at

10.1 Google Ads Remarketing for Google Analytics

We have integrated Google Ads Remarketing on our website. This service enables us to place interest-based advertisements for website visitors. In doing so, the browser stores cookies that enable the website user to be recognized if the website user visits other websites that belong to the Google advertising network. There, the user can be shown advertising campaigns relating to content that the user has previously accessed on other websites.

10.2 Google Analytics

We have integrated Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service from Google, which enables us to analyze visitor flows and the time spent on our website.

According to Google, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. However, Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of the website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the websites (including your anonymized IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

10.3 Google Analytics Conversion Tracking (Google Ads)

This website also uses Google Conversion Tracking. Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Ads client’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the client can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads clients who have opted into conversion tracking. Ads clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. You can find Google’s privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

If you use SSL search, Google’s encrypted search feature, the search terms are usually not sent as part of the URL in the referring URL. However, there are some exceptions to this, for example if you use certain less common browsers. You can find more information about SSL searches here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/173733?hl=de. Search queries or information in the referral URL may also be viewed via Google Analytics or an Application Programming Interface (API). In addition, advertisers may receive information about the exact search terms that triggered a click on an ad.

For more information, please refer to the Google FAQ: https://policies.google.com/faq?hl=de

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR

10.4 Google Doubleclick

The website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick. To help AdWords customers and publishers serve and manage ads on the web, the Google advertising network and certain Google services may be used. DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

We use the Google Maps service on this website. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data already mentioned under “Informational use of the website” is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with requirements. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR

10.9 Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to recognize your user behavior. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The tool itself processes the following personal data IP address of the user. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.  Google Tag Manager can set cookies, at least in the administrator’s preview and debug mode, but also outside of it. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

LinkedIn has certified itself under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for the transfer of personal data from the EU to the United States. The European Commission has determined that there is an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to a company in the United States certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Consequently, the data transfer is permissible in accordance with Article 45 of the GDPR.

Each time you visit one of our websites that contains LinkedIn functions, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the LinkedIn buttons and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn is able to associate your visit to our website with you and your user account.

We use Leadfeeder, an analysis tool from Liidio OY / Leadfeeder, Mikonkatu 17, 00100 Helsinki, Finland. The tool makes it possible to manage existing customer contacts in the B2B sector and to generate new ones. A “lead” is a qualified prospective customer who is interested in a company or product, provides their contact details in return and is highly likely to become a customer. In addition, the user behavior of B2B contacts on our website can be recorded and analyzed, giving us good feedback on our processes.

For this purpose, Leadfeeder accesses evaluations from Google Analytics by matching and linking the IP addresses of website visitors with information about companies that can be found on the internet under these addresses. Since Google Analytics shortens these IP addresses by default, no direct personal reference is established. However, such a link may arise when the company information is reviewed.

Our website uses TikTok Pixel (“Pixel”) of the social network TikTok, provided by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland, for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer.

TikTok can use the pixels to determine the website visitors as a target group for the display of ads (so-called “TikTok ads”). Accordingly, we use them to display the TikTok ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to TikTok. The aim is to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond to user interest and are not annoying. With the help of pixels, we can also track the effectiveness of TikTok ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok ad (so-called “conversion”).

Your actions are stored in one or more cookies. These cookies enable TikTok to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with the data of your TikTok account. The data that is collected is anonymous and cannot be viewed by us and can only be used in the context of advertisements.

• Your personal data may be shared with other third parties by the respective service provider.
