Data Protection
Protecting your privacy is important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.
General Data
General Data – If you enter into a contract with us, we will process the following data:
All data is processed only to the extent necessary to fulfill the contract.
Your master data: Last name and first name, academic degree, company, ATU or foreign equivalent, address, participant number, and contact information (e.g., email address, phone number), information regarding the nature and content of our
contractual relationship.
Other personal data that you or third parties provide to us with your consent or otherwise lawfully during the initiation of the contract or during the contractual relationship, namely: date of birth or age, marital status, gender, occupation, identification details, bank account information, signing or representation authority, contract term, notice period, or other information about you that you have obviously made public yourself. This term does not include data considered sensitive under data protection law, specifically racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, or health data.
Print Data
Your print data: the information we need to create print templates. We store this data, along with the print-ready files we create, for future reprints. Please note that creating print-ready files involves costs, and we would have to charge you for recreating them if they are deleted.
Data Processing on Behalf of Third Parties
Even when we engage a data processor, we remain responsible for the protection of your data.
We only use data processors located outside the European Union if the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the third country in question, or if we have agreed on appropriate safeguards or binding internal data protection rules with the data processor.
We will delete
– your master data and other personal data upon termination of the contractual relationship, but no later than upon the expiration of all statutory retention obligations (such as those under Section 212 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) or Sections 207 et seq. of the Austrian Federal Tax Code (BAO), as amended).
Section 212 UGB: Retention Obligation, Retention Period
(1) The entrepreneur must keep his books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements (including management reports), consolidated financial statements (including consolidated management reports), incoming business correspondence, copies of outgoing business correspondence, and supporting documents for entries in the books he is required to maintain pursuant to Section 190 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) in an orderly manner for a period of seven years; and for as long as they are relevant to any pending judicial or administrative proceedings in which the entrepreneur is a party.
(2) The period begins at the end of the calendar year for which the last book entry was made, the inventory was taken, the opening balance sheet and the annual financial statements were adopted, the consolidated financial statements were prepared, or the business letter was received or sent.
– Your transaction data within a period of three months following the
payment transaction, provided you have not filed a written objection.
Please note that we do not delete your data during ongoing proceedings (objections, cancellations, outstanding invoices, etc.).
– Your content data, as soon as you notify us in writing that you no longer wish us to perform future service and maintenance activities. Written notification is required because, upon receiving this request, we must irrevocably remove all data from our databases and software systems, and no data recovery will be possible thereafter !!!!
Profiling
We use automated data processing methods to improve our products and services, to enhance our communication with you, and to analyze user behavior. These methods are referred to as profiling. Details regarding the processing can be found in the respective processing steps listed.
Processing of Your Data
We process your master data, traffic data, location data, content data, other personal data, and your user profile for the provision and billing of our respective services and for contract fulfillment.
If you were previously our customer and have always paid your invoices to us on time, we will list you as a VIP customer for up to five years after the end of the contract. In this case, we do not obtain a credit report on you. If you are not listed as a VIP customer with us, we use the master data you provided during registration, as well as your date of birth, to obtain information about your creditworthiness from a credit bureau.
This constitutes processing in the sense of the profiling described above, whereby the credit bureau we consult provides us with an assessment of your creditworthiness based on the aforementioned data. If your creditworthiness is too low or if information is missing, we may decide not to enter into a contract with you or may require additional collateral. If you object to this, simply use our contact options to explain your position. If you fail to meet your contractual obligations, we may engage a collection agency. In this case, you will receive prior notice so that you may respond. The credit bureaus with which we currently collaborate can be requested directly from us, as changes may occur here as well.
The processing of your data described above is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of the contract you have entered into with us. If you do not provide us with this data or do not provide it in full, we may not be able to fully fulfill our contractual obligations to you or may not be able to enter into a contract with you.
We process your billing information and other personal data for a purpose compatible with the original processing, namely to create an overview of your interests in our products and services and to assign you to internal user categories. Based on this, we recommend services and offerings with added value that are tailored to your usage behavior. If you nevertheless do not consent to this processing, you may opt out at any time. To do so, please send us an informal email to office@etivera.at.
Data Processing
Provided you have given us the appropriate consent, we will process your data so that
– we may provide you with information about our services or value-added services, or
products and services from third parties, even up to three years after the termination of our contractual relationship. In doing so, we will use the following communication channels, provided you have provided them to us:
phone, email, text message, mail, or social media channels.
We process your master data and other personal data together with the following contract attributes to create further anonymous analyses:
gender, ZIP code, products, and categories that we assign to you based on your usage behavior.
These anonymized data analyses involve methods and techniques often grouped under the term “big data.” It is impossible to trace this information back to you personally.
We use this information to improve our services and tailor our offerings even better to your needs.
Your data will not be shared with “third parties.”
Please note: You may withdraw any consent you have given us at any time. To do so, simply use our contact options. Withdrawing such consent will not affect our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations. If you withdraw your consent, we will no longer use your data for the purposes mentioned.
You may exercise the following rights regarding the processing of your data:
Right of access: You may request confirmation from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data.

You can exercise this right from May 25, 2018.
Right to object: If we process your data for the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest, for the exercise of official authority, or if we rely on the necessity of processing for the purposes of our legitimate interests, you can object to this data processing, provided that your interests in the protection of your data override these interests. You can object to receiving advertising at any time without giving reasons.
Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe that we have violated Austrian or European data protection law in processing your data, please contact us so that we can clarify any questions.
