Personal data

Personal data is all data about natural persons whose identity is determined or at least determinable and which contains individual details about personal or factual circumstances, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, proof of income, video recordings, photos. We collect, process and use your personal data only in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR. We only process your personal data if:

  • you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR),
  • the processing is necessary to fulfill one of our legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR), or
  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-processing of your data.

Rights of data subjects

You, as our contractual partner or generally as a data subject, have the right to information about your stored personal data as well as a right to rectification, data transfer, objection, restriction of processing as well as blocking or deletion of incorrect or inadmissibly processed data. If there are any changes to your personal data, please inform us accordingly. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please inform us by e-mail to office@c4group.at if you would like information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transfer (in the case of data transfer only if this does not cause a disproportionate effort). If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law or your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you have the option of complaining to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is responsible for this.

Data processing

We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than for the execution of the contractual relationship or for purposes covered by your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR.

Data security

Your personal data is protected by taking appropriate organizational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorized,
unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation. Notwithstanding our efforts to maintain an appropriately high level of due diligence at all times, it cannot be ruled out that information that you disclose to us via the Internet may be viewed and used by other persons. Please note that we therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. hacking attack on e-mail account or telephone).

The disclosure of data breaches

We endeavor to ensure that data breaches are detected at an early stage and, if necessary, reported immediately to you or the competent supervisory authority, taking into account the respective data categories affected. Always in accordance with the legal provisions.

The storage of data

In accordance with applicable data protection requirements, we are obliged to delete personal data immediately as soon as the purpose for the processing has ceased to exist in accordance with Art. 5 para. 1 lit. e GDPR. We would like to point out that statutory retention obligations/periods represent a legitimate purpose for the processing of personal data. In any case, we will store and retain data in personal form until the end of the business relationship or until the expiry of applicable guarantee, warranty or limitation periods; in addition, until the end of any legal disputes in which the data may be required; or in any case until the end of the third year after the last contact with a business partner.
