Recipients

In principle, we never transmit your personal data to third parties without your express permission or request. In individual cases, your personal data may be published on the website of the participating contest.
In addition, we work with partners who are essential participants in the contract fulfilment as commissioned order processers (especially IT service providers) and as contractual partners (especially payment service providers). These partners receive the data that is necessary for the fulfilment of their respective services and they are therefore not external third parties. All order processers are contractually obliged to handle your data confidentially and solely in the context of their service provision.

In the case of a legal obligation, public offices and institutions may be the recipients of your personal data.

Storage duration

We process your personal data, insofar as possible, for the entire duration of the contractual relationship (from the initiation to the processing to the end of the contract) as well as any longer if required by the legal storage and documentation obligations, arising from the Austrian General Civil Code (ABGB) and the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code (BAO).

Furthermore, regarding the storage duration, the legal expiry periods are to be observed; these can amount 30 years in some cases according to the Austrian General Civil Code (ABGB).

If the data is processed based on your consent, you can of course make use of your right to withdrawal at any time.
