LEGAL BASIS AND PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

We process the personal data (such as your name, address, date of birth, telephone number, fax, e-mail address, etc.) that you provide to us in the process of asking questions or registering or entering into a contract. If we do not receive your personal data from your own statements, these data derive from public sources or from companies affiliated with us.

The legal bases of data processing are therefore:

  • Initiation or performance of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR;
  • Compliance with a legal obligation in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter c GDPR;
  • The legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR, which is to achieve the purposes indicated above;
  • Your consent to data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR.

If you have provided personal data to us, we only use them to answer your questions, to initiate a contract, to prepare, perform and administer contracts, to execute the job application process and for technical administration purposes. Personal data are disclosed or transferred by us to third parties (e.g. insurance companies, courts, government authorities, banks, tax advisors, certified public accountants, companies within our corporate group, etc.) only when necessary for the purposes of contract performance, billing or compliance with a legal obligation, when there are legitimate interests of the data controller (particularly for the purposes of administrative optimization and simplification) or if you have previously given us your consent. You always have the right to revoke a granted consent with effect for the future. To do this, please contact datenschutz@vivatis.at.

Stored personal data are erased when you revoke your consent to data storage, when your data are no longer needed for the purpose of storage or when the storage of your data is or becomes no longer permissible for legal reasons, in observance of the statutory retention obligations in every case.

RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

Every data subject within the meaning of the GDPR has the right to information about his or her stored personal data, the origin and recipients thereof, the period of storage thereof and the purpose of data processing. Upon written request, we will always be glad to inform you about your stored personal data. Please direct your request to datenschutz@vivatis.at.

If your data processed by us are incorrect or incomplete, you can demand the rectification or completion thereof. Please inform us of this at datenschutz@vivatis.at. We will immediately rectify or complete your data. If it is unclear whether your processed data are incorrect or incomplete or are being processed unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of processing of your data until this question is definitively clarified.

You may also demand the erasure of unlawfully unprocessed personal data. Please note, however, that this right only pertains to incorrect, incomplete or unlawfully processed data. Please contact the e-mail address indicated above for this purpose.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if this data processing is legally based on our legitimate interest.

Finally, we inform you that you have the option of filing a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Office.
