​We are committed to protecting your data, which is why we adhere to the applicable data protection regulations, particularly the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG), when processing your personal data (e.g., master data).

Below you will find more detailed information about the data processing activities we carry out:

 

1. Data Controller

SVÖ Local Group Rohrbach-Berg

As we are not legally required to do so, we have not appointed or named a Data Protection Officer with the Data Protection Authority.

 

2. Data Subject Rights

2.1. You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• Right of Access (Art 15 GDPR): You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing your personal data. If this is the case, you have the right to access this personal data and the information outlined in Art 15 GDPR.

• Right to Rectification (Art 16 GDPR): You have the right to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you, and, where applicable, to have incomplete personal data completed.

• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”; Art 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the immediate deletion of your personal data if one of the reasons listed in Art 17 GDPR applies (e.g., the data processing is no longer necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected).

• Right to Restriction of Processing (Art 18 GDPR): You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art 18 GDPR is met (e.g., if you object to the data processing, while it is not yet determined whether our legitimate grounds override your interests).

• Right to Data Portability (Art 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us. This right only applies if the data processing is based on your consent (Art 6(1)(a) or Art 9(2)(a) GDPR) or on a contract (Art 6(1)(b) GDPR) and the processing is carried out by automated means.

 

2.2. Right to Object 

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data. This right only applies if the data processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us (Art 6(1)(e) GDPR) or is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party (Art 6(1)(f) GDPR).

If you exercise your right to object, we ask that you provide reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have been. We will review the situation and either cease the data processing, adjust it, or provide you with compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the processing. We will continue to process the data if it is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes and related profiling at any time and free of charge. In this case, we will cease the data processing.

 

2.3. Right to Withdraw Consent

If you have given us consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal; it applies only for the future.

 

2.4. How to Exercise Your Rights
