If you require further information regarding international data transfers or if you would like a copy of the specific safeguards applicable to the export of your personal data, please feel free to contact privacy@fior.digital.
Will my data be 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 data protection guidelines of the platform operators also apply. We would like to point out that user data can also be processed outside the European Union. Due to different legal frameworks, there are certain risks for the users of these platforms (e.g. enforcing the rights of the data subjects may be more 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 if you click on content or visit websites while you are still logged into your social media account. Such information is collected by social media platforms and associated with your social media accounts, regardless of whether you click on content on that platform or not. By logging out of your account, you can prevent these companies from linking the information they collect 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 damage that you incur as a result of the use of your data by social media platforms.
Controller: FIOR Digital can only process personal data of social media users if users communicate directly with FIOR Digital via such platforms (e.g. number of visitors, articles posted, likes, direct messages, customer inquiries, comments, etc.). In such cases, FIOR Digital is then also responsible for the processing of the personal data collected. In addition to such data processing by us, the operators of social media platforms in particular also process personal data of users. We have no influence on this data processing and we are therefore not responsible for it - such data processing is therefore exclusively the responsibility of the social media platforms.
For a detailed explanation of the respective data processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out) of social media platforms, we refer to the respective data protection declaration of the operator (see below). Requests for information and other data subject rights in connection with social media platforms must be asserted with the respective operator. Because only the operators have access to the personal data of their users and can therefore take the necessary measures and provide information.

On what legal basis will electronic messages be sent to me and how can I unsubscribe?
In our e-mail newsletter (e.g. weekly update) we inform you about the services and products of FIOR Digital. If you would like to receive our newsletter, you must register with your email address. Newsletters and other electronic notifications will only be 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. § 107 para. 3 TKG). With the double opt-in procedure, we check whether you are also the owner of the email address provided or whether the owner agrees to receive electronic notifications. This procedure serves as evidence in cases in which a third party misuses an e-mail address by registering to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the person actually entitled.
The infrastructure of the service Twilio, Inc., 375 Beale Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA is used to send our e-mail newsletter. You can find more information about Sendgrid in the Sendgrid data protection declaration.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, e.g. by withdrawing your consent. You will find a link to unsubscribe at the end of each newsletter. Please note, however, that if you simply unsubscribe, we will continue to process your personal data until you revoke your consent to the storage of the data, so that we can prove the previously given consent to receive newsletters. Such processing is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims, and you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.
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 fulfillment to the termination of a contract) and generally for 1 year after the end of the business relationship. In addition, we only store your data for a longer period of time, within the framework of the statutory storage and documentation obligations, to defend against legal claims or with your express consent.
The retention periods for data result from the statutory retention periods or limitation periods. According to the Business Code (UGB) and the Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), this is 7 years, according to the Financial Market Money Laundering Act (FM-GWG) 10 years, according to the Equal Treatment Act (GIBG) half a year and in certain cases between 3 and 30 years according to the ABGB e.g. if data is required as evidence for legal disputes or as long as there are other legitimate interests in the storage.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in this data protection declaration, the personal data processed by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their processing purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any other statutory storage obligations.
What rights and options do I have regarding my data under the GDPR?
Right to information:
You have the option of requesting confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data. If we are processing personal data about you, you have the right to receive information from us about the personal data we hold about you and a copy of the data being processed, within a reasonable period of time.
Right to rectification:
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified to request data concerning you. With regard to the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, also by means of a supplementary statement from you.
Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning you from FIOR Digital if one of the following reasons applies and no further processing of this data is required:
The corresponding reason must be stated in the requests for the deletion of personal data (Article 17 (1) GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing:
You have the right to request that we restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met
Right to data portability:
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You can also request that we pass on 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 of the processing is either your consent or a (pre-)contractual necessity and the processing is automated. The right to data portability does not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of tasks that are in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the person responsible.
Right of objection:
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time to object 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 demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims serves. The objection does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests that occurred 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 require further identification data from you (e.g. passport, identity card, etc.) to ensure that your personal data is only passed on to you.
How can I object to the processing of my data for advertising purposes?
You can also object to any use of your personal data for advertising purposes. If you would like to fundamentally object to the processing of your data for advertising purposes, please contact us by email at privacy@fior.digital. The objection does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests that occurred before your objection.
Please note, however, that such an objection is only made to FIOR Digital and, even after such an objection, you may still receive advertising about FIOR Digital from other providers on other websites over which we have no influence.
Does FIOR Digital use my personal data for automated decision-making including profiling?
FIOR Digital does not use personal data for automated decision-making processes including profiling within the meaning of Art 22 DSGVO.
Will my personal data be processed for purposes other than those for which it was collected?
Basically, at FIOR Digital we only process personal data for the purposes for which it was collected. In exceptional cases, however, we can process your personal data collected for a specific purpose for another purpose. In such a case, we will inform you before the intended processing of the new purpose, the duration of storage, the exercise of the rights of the data subject, the possibility of withdrawing consent, the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority and whether the provision of the data is necessary for legal or contractual reasons and the consequences of not providing the data and whether automated decision-making or profiling is used in the process.
Which supervisory authority can I lodge a complaint with?
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that your rights under the GDPR have been violated. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.
How do I give my consent and how can I revoke my consent?
By ticking the appropriate box during the registration process or in the event of an update after logging into your FIOR Digital account, you expressly confirm that you have read the privacy policy and that you consent to the processing of your personal data as described there.

We have extensive administrative, technical and physical measures in place to protect your personal information from accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.
