Data Protection Officer
In accordance with Article 37 GDPR, our company is not required to appoint a data protection officer.

1.1
We process your personal data in particular in the context of a business relationship with you (or with a company that you represent). The data is processed on the basis of the contractual relationship (as well as a pre-contractual relationship when initiating a business relationship, Art 6 para 1 lit b GDPR). In particular, your name, your contact details (such as e-mail address, telephone number, home address), date of birth if applicable, citizenship, account data, possibly information regarding your creditworthiness, if necessary your social security data, as well as information from you in connection with the fulfilment of the contractual relationship (in particular documents, certificates, contracts, correspondence, financial data, etc.) are processed. Insofar as data is not collected from the data subject themselves, company register data, insolvency data and registration data are collected from publicly accessible databases.

1.2
Your personal data may also be processed on the basis of your consent, which can be revoked at any time (Art 6 para 1 lit a GDPR). In this case, we process your personal data in accordance with and to the extent of the consent you have given us.

1.3
Processing of your personal data may be necessary for the fulfilment of a legal or official/judicial obligation (Art 6 para 1 lit c GDPR; in particular retention obligations or reporting obligations to authorities on a legal basis).

1.4
In addition, processing may be carried out based on our legitimate interest in processing. In such a case, the processing is carried out under the necessary, proportionate protection of our legitimate interests as the controller or its group companies and the other recipients (Art 6 para 1 lit f GDPR), such as in particular for administrative optimisation and simplification, and if there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data, furthermore to prevent physical damage or financial loss, for IT security and technical administration and for customer administration purposes. The processing here includes all data processed within the scope of the contractual relationship if this is necessary to fulfil the purpose.

1.5
The provision of personal data is partly required by law or contract (e.g. for the initiation, performance and termination of contractual relationships). Without this data, a contractual relationship cannot be established or fulfilled. In all other cases, the provision of personal data is voluntary.

2.1
There are the following categories of recipients within the meaning of Art 13 para 1 lit e GDPR:

  • Group companies of the controller
  • Processor of the order
  • Funding agencies or partners
  • Social insurance organisations
  • Public authorities
  • Third-party providers and cooperation partners (e.g. development service providers; credit card providers, banks)
  • Debt collection service provider, legal and tax advisors and experts for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims
  • Auditing companies for the fulfilment of accounting obligations
  • Courts for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims

3.1
Your data will be stored by us in personal form for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose, in particular for the complete fulfilment of the entire business relationship (from the initiation to the execution to the termination of the contract) and until the fulfilment of legal obligations in accordance with statutory retention and documentation provisions (such as the 7-year retention periods for contracts and other documents as well as the associated correspondence in accordance with the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), Value Added Tax Act (UStG), etc.). In addition, data will be stored until the expiry of applicable compensation and warranty periods for the necessary assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (here until the end of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence), whereby the statutory limitation periods under the General Civil Code (ABGB) must be taken into account, which can lead to the storage of necessary documents for up to 30 years after termination of the contractual relationship.

3.2
The respective duration of the storage of your data is determined based on various criteria (in particular the legal basis on which the processing is based, the purpose to be achieved and, if applicable, your consent). If your personal data is processed based on your consent, it will be stored and processed for as long as you have given your consent (and we have not received any objection from you).

4.1
As a data subject, you have the right to information about your stored personal data, its source and recipients and the purpose of data processing as well as a right to rectification, data transfer, objection, restriction of processing and blocking or deletion of incorrect or inadmissibly processed data at any time. If there are any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly.

4.2
You have the right to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent and the subsequent cancellation of the declaration of consent does not render it unlawful.

4.3
You can submit your request for information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transfer to us at any time, in the latter case, if this does not cause a disproportionate effort.

4.4
If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any other way, you are welcome to contact us directly by letter or e-mail to clarify any misunderstandings (Pro2Future GmbH, Altenberger Straße 69, 4040 Linz, ). Alternatively, you also have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (www.dsb.gv.at) at any time.

4.5
Automated decision-making, including profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR, does not take place.
