II. Data processing by Sunkid GmbH

 

1)  PURPOSE OF PROCESSING

 

1.1)  Business relationship / contractual relationship

We as Controller process your personal data primarily in the framework of a business relationship with you and/or a company represented by you, particularly where there is a contractual relationship or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (point (b) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR).

The personal data processed by us will specifically include your name, your contact details (email address, telephone number, residential address) and your bank details, potentially information on your credit history, your social security data (if necessary), and information on you connected to compliance with the contractual relationship, as well as any other information submitted by you.

 

1.2)  Legal / regulatory obligations

Your personal data are also processed to the extent it is necessary for compliance with a legal/regulatory obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory record-keeping requirements for accounting data, information obligations towards authorities, or employer’s obligation to report to the social insurance institution etc.(point c of Art. 6 (1) GDPR). Furthermore, your personal data may be processed where the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (point (e) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR).

In this case, processing shall in particular include business correspondence and any fiscally relevant records relating to the contractual relationship between you and us (§ 212 UGB (Commercial Code), § 132 BAO (Federal Tax Act) and others), as well as social security data, if an employer/employee relationship exists between you and us.

 

1.3) Consent

The processing of your personal data may be performed on the basis of your consent to the processing; you may revoke your given consent at any time (point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR). We process those personal data for which you have given consent. This is the case, for example, if you submit queries to us by email or via the website contact form and your data are not processed based on a (pre-) contractual business relationship in accordance with point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR.

 

1.4)  Legitimate interest

We also process personal information where it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us as the controller (point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR). This may be necessary particularly to safeguard our corporate interests, to assert or exercise or defend legal claims and, if there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest that your data are not passed on, to avoid physical injury or financial losses, for direct advertising (marketing and information measures, particularly relating to services we offer), IT security and technical administration and for records as well as file, customer, and supplier management purposes. The processing includes all the data processed in the framework of the contractual relationship, to the extent it is necessary to achieve the respective purpose.

Moreover, we reserve the right to transmit your personal data in case we sell or transfer all or parts of our company or our assets (also in case of restructuring, re-founding, dissolution, or liquidation).

1.5)  Events

We make sound and picture recordings within the scope of events and workshops organised by us or held in our premises.

In invitations and at events it is pointed out in advance that picture and sound recordings will be made. Where photographs are taken of larger groups, the pictures are used to heighten our profile and promote our image. We publish such pictures on the Internet and in printed form based on our legitimate interest. When recording smaller groups or individuals, we will request consent beforehand. According to Art. 7 (3) GDPR you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (see data subject rights). Please note that such withdrawal shall not affect any processing that has taken place until your declaration of withdrawal.

 

2)  (POTENTIAL) RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data processed by us will be transmitted to the following categories of recipients (point (e) of Art. 13 (1) GDPR):

•  Companies to which Sunkid GmbH is affiliated under corporate law, i.e. ZoWo Holding GmbH (FN 460440 v), Bruckschlögl Gesellschaft m.b.H (FN 104926 d), Braso Technik GmbH (FN 503507 b), Sunkid France Sarl (France), Borer Lift AG (Switzerland), and Star Lifts USA Inc. (USA).

•  Data processors engaged by us (in particular IT and BackOffice service providers [IDC EDV Handels- und Dienstleistungs-GmbH, web-crossing GmbH, The Rocket Science Group LLC, HOST Software Entwicklung & Consulting GmbH], accountants, payroll accountants [Illmer und Partner Steuerberatungsgesellschaft GmbH], tax advisors, and auditors [NEXIA TU Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH]

•  Courts and authorities (especially in case of customer and supplier disputes) as well as our opponents in court (and out-of-court) or regulatory proceedings;

•  (Court-appointed and non-judicial) experts;

•  Third-party suppliers and cooperation partners (e.g.: credit card providers, banks);

•  Lawyers and law firms retained by us;

  • our tax advisors and auditors;
  • our advertising and web analysis partners (website);
  • social media platforms;

We use your personal data exclusively for the purposes described above and do sell your personal data or trade in them or pass them on to any third parties without informing you in advance.

3) STORAGE AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Point (e) of Art. 5 (1) GDPR requires us to erase the personal data relating to you as a data subject when the purpose for storing the data no longer exists, there is no longer a legal basis for keeping your personal data, and you have not consented to further processing of your data.

Your personal data will be stored by us in any event for as long as it is necessary to achieve the respective purpose, particularly for the duration of the complete business relationship (from initiation or pre-contractual relations to implementation and completion of the contract) and in compliance with the legal obligations contained in statutory record-keeping and documentation provisions (e.g. the 7-year retention period for contracts and other documents and the accompanying correspondence according to UGB, BAO, UStG (Value-Added Tax Act), etc.). The data will be stored beyond this until the applicable guarantee, damages, and warranty periods for the required assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims expire (in this case until a legal dispute where the data are needed as evidence is resolved), taking into account the statutory limitation periods according to ABGB (General Civil Code), which may lead to retention periods, for the required documents, of up to 30 years after the termination of the contractual relationship.

The respective duration of the storage of your data is, therefore, measured 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). When processing your personal data based on your consent, storage and processing will in any case be carried out as long as your consent has been given (and we have not received any objection.

Google will also store the IP address of the browser of your terminal device as a visitor to our website. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries will automatically trigger a connection to the provider of the library (Google). This will transfer the IP address to Google.

For an overview of Facebook plug-ins and their appearance see: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

The plug-ins are integrated into the page a “2-click” or “Shariff” solution to increase protection of your data when visiting our website. This integration ensures that no connection is established with the Facebook servers yet when a page of our website containing such plug-ins is called up. Only when you activate the plug-ins and thus give your consent to the data transfer will your browser establish a direct connection to Meta’s servers. The content of the respective plug-in will be transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. The plug-in will then transmit data (including your IP address) to Meta. We have no influence on the scope of the data Meta collects using these plug-ins. To the best of our knowledge, Meta receives information that you have currently or previously visited our website. By integrating the plug-ins, Meta will receive the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website even if you do not have a profile on Facebook or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) will be transmitted by your browser to a Meta server in the USA directly and stored there. If you interact with the plug-ins, e.g., by clicking the “Like” button, the corresponding information will also be transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be published on Facebook and displayed there to your contacts.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of the data by Meta, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, see Facebook’s data protection information at http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a member of the Facebook social network (of Meta) and wish to limit collection of data about our website and aggregation of your user data with the data stored about you by the Facebook social network, log out of Facebook and delete your cookies before visiting our website. You can also prevent loading of Facebook plug-ins for the future entirely with add-ons for your browser, e.g., with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).

Further settings and objections to use of data for advertising purposes can be made within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads, the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent; this means that they apply to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

The data stored in the course of your newsletter registration (title, first name, last name, email address, IP address, as well as date and time of your registration) will be transmitted to a server of The Rocket Science Group, LLC in the USA. Your consent to processing of your data in connection with the sending of newsletters, therefore, also includes the transfer of your data to the USA pursuant to point (a) of Art 49 (1) GDPR.

MailChimp provides extensive analyses on how newsletters are opened and used. These analyses are group-related and not used by us for individual evaluation. MailChimp also uses the Google Analytics analysis tool and integrates it into the newsletters where applicable. Further details on Google Analytics can be found in the “Google Analytics” section. You can find more information on MailChimp and data protection at MailChimp here: http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

Please note that this third-party provider is headquartered in the USA. Due to the current legal situation there, it cannot be ruled out that your data may be accessed by US authorities (even if your data may be stored within the EU). If you consent to using this third-party provider, your consent will, therefore, also include transfer of your data to the USA pursuant to point (a) of Art 49 (1) GDPR.

 

6)  Purpose of processing

In addition to the purposes of processing already referred to in item III.1, the purposes listed in item II.1 also apply to processing of personal data, depending on the situation and conditions.

7)  Storage duration

If no explicit storage period is specified in the data protection declaration concerning the website for the respective processing activity (in particular for the server log file item III.1 and for cookies in item III.3.2), see our provisions on the storage period in item II.3.

8) (Potential) transferees

Except if any explicit recipients of transfers are specified in the privacy policy for the website for a respective processing activity (specifically: marketing and analysis tools, social media providers, as well as other third-party tools in item III.4) see our provisions on potential transfer recipients in item II.2.

You have the right to request confirmation from us as the Controller (Sunkid GmbH; cf. item I.1.) at any time as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you and, if so, to receive free information about the personal data processed about you and a copy of this information.

1.2) RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION (ARTICLE 16 GDPR)

You have the right to request that we (as the Controller) rectify any inaccurate personal data relating to you without undue delay.

1.3)      RIGHT TO ERASURE (RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN) (ARTICLE 17 GDPR)

You have the right to demand from us (as the Controller) that the personal data concerning you be erased without undue delay, insofar as the data are not necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed and that there is no legal reason for the deletion.

You have the right to request that we (as the Controller) restrict processing of any personal data relating to you.

1.6) RIGHT TO OBJECT (ARTICLE 21 GDPR)

If we process any personal data based on public interest or in the exercise of official authority or because it is required by a legitimate interest, you have the right to object to such processing of your data at any time due to your particular situation. In this case, your data will only be processed if there are compelling reasons to be protected for the processing activities.

1.7)   RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT (ARTICLE 7 (3) GDPR)

You have the right to withdraw consent previously given to data processing at any time. Revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you under certain circumstances.

If you believe that processing of your personal data violates any data protection regulations or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other manner, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or extrajudicial remedy and the right of appeal, you have the right to effective judicial remedy against a legally binding decision of the supervisory authority concerning you.

VI.  COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA FROM PERSONS OTHER THAN THE DATA SUBJECT (ARTICLE 14 GDPR)

In exceptional cases, we as the Controller do not collect personal data from you directly, but from other sources; in this case, information will only be collected from publicly accessible databases, from customers/suppliers, from credit agencies, or from companies with which we are associated under company law:

•    Company register data at various offices authorised by the BMVRDJ, such as lexunited, IMD, etc.; land register data at court, notaries public, or via the internet; data concerning the practised trade from the federal trade information system GISA;

•    Creditworthiness data, including data on payment behaviour (through queries to KSV, AKV, ÖVC, ISA);

•    Insolvency data (especially from the federal edict file);

•    Registration data from the respective registration authorities (municipal office, magistrate in the case of statutory cities or magistrate’s district office in Vienna);

•    Information on you from search engines, social networks, various websites;

•    Information regarding contact, payment history, business relationship by customers/suppliers or their business partners if you are our opponent in any proceedings.

The data we collect and store about you from these sources are limited to contact details (email address, telephone number, postal address), any information on your function and assignment/responsibility within the company, data concerning your professional career, with information on your professional and educational career that is accessible from public sources also possible being, as well as data in contract documents and associated documents.

Processing of these data will be carried out in our overriding legitimate interest for efficient communication for business purposes, as well as with regard to proper applicant management (point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR). The data processed by us in this manner will be stored within the periods indicated in item II.3.

In the context of the collection of your data from third parties, you are entitled to the same rights as those listed in item V.1.

 

VII.    DATA TRANSFERS TO OTHER COUNTRIES

We may also transfer your personal information to countries outside of the country in which the information was originally collected. These countries may not be subject to the same data protection laws as the country where you originally provided your personal data. When we transfer your information to other countries, we protect that information as described in our Privacy Policy, and such transfers are subject to applicable law.

The countries to which we disclose your personal data are located in the following countries

•      within the European Union, or

•      outside the European Union.

When we transfer personal data to countries or international organisations outside the European Union, the transfer is made on the basis:

•      of an adequacy decision of the European Commission

•      in the absence of this, based on other legally permissible reasons, such as the existence of a legally binding and enforceable document between authorities or public bodies, binding internal company rules, standard data protection clauses, and approved or certified codes of conduct.

In exceptional cases, a data transfer may also take place on the basis of Art. 49 GDPR:

•      You have explicitly consented to the proposed data transfer after being informed about the potential risks such data transfers may pose to you in the absence of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards (Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR).

 

•      Transfer is necessary for performance of a contract between you and us or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures based on your request (point (b) of Art. 49 (1) GDPR)

 

•      Transfer is necessary for conclusion or performance of a contract entered into by us in your interest with another natural or legal person (point (c) of Art. 49 (1) GDPR)

 

 

As far as any service providers or contractual partners have their registered office in a country outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance from case to case.
