8. International data transfer

Will my data be transferred to third countries or international organizations?

Your personal information may be viewed, transferred to, and/or stored by employees or service providers outside the country in which you are currently located, and the data protection laws of such countries may be of a lower standard than those in the European Union. However, FIOR Digital will protect personal data in accordance with this privacy policy under all circumstances.
If personal data is processed in a third country (outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or is this done in connection with the use of third-party services or the disclosure and/or transfer of personal data to third parties, this is only done to the extent necessary to fulfill our (pre-) contractual obligations or on the basis of consent or a legal obligation or to protect legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual approvals, we only process personal data in a third country if the conditions of Art 44 ff GDPR are met. This means, for example, that the processing and transfer is carried out on the basis of special protective measures, such as in compliance with a code of conduct or a certification mechanism together with the binding and implementing obligation of the recipient in the third country to comply with the appropriate data protection measures and to comply with officially recognized special contractual obligations of the European Commission (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
If you need more information regarding international data transfers, or if you would like a copy of the specific security measures for exporting your personal data, feel free to contact privacy@fior.digital.

9. Social media

Is my data processed on social media platforms and who is responsible in such cases?

Is my data processed on social media platforms and who is responsible in such cases?
FIOR Digital is present on various social media platforms (see below) to communicate with active customers, potential customers and interested social media users about FIOR Digital's services, products and other news. If you use such social media platforms, the general terms and conditions and the privacy policies of the platform operators also apply. We would like to point out that user data may also be processed outside the European Union. Due to different legal frameworks, this poses certain risks for users of these platforms (e.g. enforcement of the rights of data subjects may be difficult).
As part of the technical process of various social media platforms (e.g. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), they can record your behavior in the background, for example when you click on content or visit websites and you are still logged into your social media account at the same time. Such information is collected by social media platforms and associated with your social media accounts, regardless of whether you click on content from that platform or not. By logging out of your account, you can prevent these companies from linking the collected information to your accounts. The activities of such social media platforms cannot be controlled by FIOR Digital and therefore we do not accept any liability for any damage that you may incur as a result of the use of your data by social media platforms.
Responsible person: FIOR Digital can only process personal data from social media users if users communicate directly with FIOR Digital via such platforms (e.g. number of visitors, posted articles, likes, direct messages, customer inquiries, comments, etc.). In such cases, FIOR Digital is then also responsible for processing the personal data collected in the process. In addition to such data processing by us, the operators of social media platforms in particular also process users' personal data. We have no influence on this data processing and we are therefore not responsible for it — such data processing is therefore carried out exclusively within the area of responsibility of social media platforms.
For a detailed explanation of the respective data processing and objection options (opt-out) of social media platforms, we refer to the respective privacy policy of the operators (see below). Requests for information and other data subject rights in connection with social media platforms must be asserted with the respective operator. This is because only operators have access to their users' personal data and can therefore take the necessary measures and provide information.

Our social media pages and channels as well as the links to the respective privacy statements:‍

Application via the LinkedIn button: If you use the option to apply with the social media sign-in button “Apply with LinkedIn” from the social network LinkedIn (LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA), you allow FIOR Digital limited access to your LinkedIn profile. After clicking on the “Apply with LinkedIn” button, you will be redirected to LinkedIn to enter your LinkedIn login details. You can then select the data that you want to share with FIOR Digital. Only the data you have selected will be transferred to FIOR Digital. FIOR Digital does not receive any information about your login or login details on LinkedIn. You can also find more information in the Privacy statement from LinkedIn.

10. Newsletter

What is the legal basis for sending me electronic messages and how can I unsubscribe?

In our email newsletter (e.g. weekly update), we inform you about FIOR Digital's services and products. If you want to receive our newsletter, you must sign up with your email address. Newsletters and other electronic notifications are only sent by us with your express consent if you subscribe to the newsletter directly (double opt-in) or when registering for a FIOR digital account or, alternatively, if there is another legal basis for this (e.g. Section 107 (3) TKG). In the double opt-in process, we check whether you are also the owner of the email address provided or whether its owner agrees to receive electronic notifications. This procedure serves as proof of cases in which a third party misuses an e-mail address by registering to receive the newsletter without the actual knowledge of the person entitled to receive the newsletter.
The infrastructure of the Twilio, Inc., 375 Beale Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA service is used to send our e-mail newsletter. For more information about Sendgrid, visit the Privacy statement by Sendgrid.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, e.g. by withdrawing your consent. You'll find a link to unsubscribe at the end of every newsletter. Please note, however, that if you simply unsubscribe, we will continue to process your personal data until you withdraw your consent to store the data so that we can prove that you have previously given consent to receive newsletters. Such processing is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims and you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.‍

11. Retention and deletion periods

How long will my personal data be processed (stored) and when will it be deleted?

If necessary, we store your personal data for the duration of the entire business relationship (from initiation to performance to termination of a contract) and in principle for 1 year after the end of the business relationship. In addition, we only store your data for a longer period of time, as part of legal storage and documentation obligations, to defend against legal claims or with your express consent.
The storage periods for data result from the legal storage periods or limitation periods. According to the Companies Code (UGB) and the Federal Tax Code (BAO), this is 7 years, according to the Financial Market Money Laundering Act (FM-GWG) 10 years, under the Equal Treatment Act (GIBG) half a year and in certain cases between 3 and 30 years according to ABGB, e.g. when data is required as evidence of legal disputes or as long as there are other legitimate interests in storage.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in this privacy policy, the personal data processed by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its processing purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any other legal storage requirements.‍

12. Rights of data subjects

What rights and options do I have regarding my data under the GDPR?

Right to information:
You have the option to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data. If we process personal data about you, you have the right, within a reasonable period of time, to receive information from us about the personal data we have stored about you and to receive a copy of the processed data.

• You have withdrawn your consent on which the processing is based and there is no other legal basis or overriding legitimate interest in the processing
  
• the personal data was processed unlawfully; or

Requests for deletion of personal data must state the corresponding reason (Article 17 (1) GDPR).

• The processing of your data was unlawful and you object to the deletion of the data and instead request that their processing be restricted
  
• FIOR Digital no longer needs your personal data for processing purposes, but you still need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or

Right to data portability:
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. You can also request that we transfer this data directly to a person responsible named by you, insofar as this is technically possible and the rights and freedoms of others are not affected. The right to data portability can only be exercised if the basis for processing is either your consent or a (pre-) contractual necessity and the processing has been automated. The right to data portability does not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of tasks that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been delegated to the person responsible.

Right to object:
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time if this is based on our legitimate interests. If you have objected to processing, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. The objection has no influence on the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests that took place even before your objection.

contact:
To exercise any of the above rights, you can send an email to privacy@fior.digital. Please note that for such requests, we need further identification information from you (e.g. passport, identity card, etc.) to ensure that your personal data is only shared with you.

14. Automated decisions

Does FIOR Digital use my personal data for automated decision-making, including profiling?
‍

In exceptional cases, however, we may process your personal data collected for a specific purpose for another purpose. In such a case, before the intended processing, we will inform you of the new purpose, the duration of storage, the exercise of data subject rights, the possibility of withdrawing consent, the existence of the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority and whether the provision of the data is necessary for legal or contractual reasons and what the consequences would be if the data is not provided and whether automated decision-making or profiling is used.

16. Supervisory authority

Which supervisory authority can I file a complaint with?
