I. Handling of data protection in the SCHNEIDERS VIENNA Gesellschaft mbH group

We take the responsibility we have for our customers' data very seriously. We therefore naturally process your data on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, DSG and TKG 2003).

We see our data protection awareness as a feature that also sets us apart within the media industry. This awareness has been reflected in our business decisions for decades: When selecting service providers and cooperation partners, we always pay attention to their data protection compliance. In addition, we process data that we collect directly from our customers largely in Austria, and in any case exclusively within the European Union. Our readers' privacy and our readers' trust in our brand is our greatest asset, which is why we never sell your data to third parties.

If we collect data directly from you (e.g. via forms), you are free to provide this data. However, since this data processing is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, you cannot use our offers if you decide against providing your data.
Before we inform you in detail about our data processing, we would like to explain to you some basic data protection terms and our general approach to these topics.

Personal data means data that can be used to identify a natural person. Therefore, all data that allows conclusions to be drawn about you as a person (in addition to your name, also your email or billing address) is personal.

Personal data also includes pseudonymized data , where conclusions can only be drawn by using additional data sets (such as your IP address).

Purpose limitation is the central basic principle of data protection. This means that your data may only be processed for a specific purpose. In addition, they may only be processed for as long as this purpose exists. This means that data processing is only possible to a limited extent, both in terms of its basis and its duration.

Data protection law is based on a prohibition principle: the processing of personal data is fundamentally prohibited. Processing is only lawful if a permit is applied. Several legal bases can be considered for this: The legal bases that are most frequently used in practice are contract fulfillment, consent and legitimate interest.

Fulfillment of contract: If the processing of your data is a prerequisite for the fulfillment of a concluded contract, we must be able to process this data. This is the case, for example, with our subscription contracts and our contracts for forum use.

Legitimate interest: Data protection law weighs up various interests. It may happen that our legitimate interests sometimes outweigh your interest in protecting your data. The most common legitimate interests in practice are: data security, prevention of misuse, data transfer within the group of companies for internal administrative purposes, freedom of expression and information, enforcement of legal claims and, in principle, advertising measures.

Consent: If there is no other legal basis for data processing, but we would still like to process your data, we will ask you for your consent beforehand. This is particularly the case with our sales activities (newsletter, telephone marketing). Consent is only valid if it is given voluntarily and with full knowledge of the facts. It is therefore particularly important to us to provide you with comprehensive information when collecting data.

We keep the circle of recipients of your data as small as possible and outsource little to service providers because we value developing and managing our IT systems ourselves. In the cases in which we commission service providers, you will find them listed in the respective product category under point II. In addition, we examine requests from authorities or third parties to disclose your data very carefully and only release them if there is a legal obligation.

We only keep your data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the respective data processing purposes. The duration of data processing depends in particular on the statutory retention periods and the limitation periods for potential legal claims.
