The web analysis system uses a JavaScript-based tracking code to record company-related data (e.g. name, origin and industry of the visiting company). The website visitor's online ID is encrypted using a one-way function (so-called hashing) that cannot be reversed and pseudonymized after a pre-selection that filters out private access. This means that the visitor to the website cannot be personally identified.
By using the opt-out cookie, you will no longer be tracked by the web analysis system in the respective browser. The opt-out can be set at the following URL: https://www.salesviewer.com/opt-out.

3. WHO RECEIVES YOUR DATA?

3.1. Within SPRINGER Maschinenfabrik GmbH, only those departments or employees will receive your data if they need it to process it for the relevant purposes. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties or other responsible parties.

3.2. Contract processors commissioned by us (IT service providers and printing service providers) will receive your data if they need the data to perform their respective tasks. All contract processors have been carefully selected and use suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure that your data is processed in accordance with data protection obligations and that your rights are protected. Above all, the contract processors are not permitted to use your personal data for their own purposes.

4. HOW LONG WILL YOUR DATA BE STORED?

4.1 We process your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary to achieve the relevant purposes and beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations arising, among others, from the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), the Austrian General Civil Code (ABGB) and the Federal Tax Code (BAO).

4.2. In principle, your data will therefore be deleted after the contract has been fully processed, your consent has been revoked or you have objected, unless storage is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Data in the form of application documents is generally deleted after seven months. Further processing will only take place if you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or if we have reserved the right to process the data in any other way that is permitted by law.

4.3. It is possible that the data will be anonymized instead of deleted. In this case, any personal reference will be irretrievably removed, which is why the deletion obligations under data protection law no longer apply. In this case, no personal reference can be restored.

5. WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE?

5.1. RIGHT TO INFORMATION

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data free of charge (e.g. processing purposes, categories of personal data and recipients).

5.2. RIGHT TO CORRECTION

You have the right to request that we immediately correct your inaccurate personal data.

5.3. RIGHT TO ERASURE

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to have your personal data erased immediately. Such a right to erasure exists, for example, if (i) your data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, (ii) your data was processed unlawfully, (iii) the data processing is based on your declaration of consent and you withdraw your consent, or (iv) you object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing of your personal data. You also have a right to erasure if you object to processing for the purpose of direct marketing.
You do not have the right to erasure if one of the exceptions in Article 17 Paragraph 3 of the GDPR applies. This is the case, for example, if processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under EU or Austrian law (e.g. statutory retention periods) or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5.4. RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA PROCESSING

If the data processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes.

5.5. RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

If the data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent remains unaffected until the revocation.

5.6. RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to have personal data concerning you, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

5.7. RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF DATA PROCESSING

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you deny the accuracy of your personal information stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may be - except for their storage - only with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest the European Union or a Member State.

5.8. RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO THE COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, the Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) is responsible.
