Within InfoSoc your data is received by the departments or employees that need it to meet the contractual obligations according to your request. In addition, contractors appointed by us (in particular, IT service providers) receive your data insofar as they need it for meeting their respective obligations. All contractors are in turn contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and only to process it within the scope of their service provision.

Any inquiry for this, please send to the data processing responsible, see pt.2.

You can submit any complaints to the Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB): www.dsb.gv.at   

You must provide such personal data as is necessary for the initiation and implementation of our business relationship, i.e. to offer you personalised Online Tools. If you do not want to provide us with the data, this usually means that we must decline to fulfil the request. You are not, however, obliged to consent to the processing of such data as is not relevant for the implementation of the contract or is not statutorily or regulatorily required. 

We use plug-ins (for example the Facebook symbol) from various platforms. By clicking on one of these symbols you consent to communication with the platform in question and to the transfer of information (e.g. IP address) to the service provider. For more detailed information on the specific uses of your data please see the data protection statements of the respective service providers.   

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, you need to confirm Newsletter delivery to your E-mail address in your user profile. No other data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the information requested. We do not pass it on to third parties.   You may at any time revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and the use of the same to send out the newsletter. One way of doing so is via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

Your data security is of high importance to us. It is our stated aim to take all technical and organisational measures necessary to ensure security in data processing and to process your personal data in such a way that it is protected from access by unauthorised third parties. Our IT infrastructure uses the latest security software and meets international security standards. Access to your data is only permitted for a small number of people with the highest security clearance who are entrusted with the technical or editorial maintenance of the services. 

Our website contains hyperlinks to websites operated by other providers. By activating these hyperlinks, you will be transferred directly from our website to the other provider’s website. You can recognise this by, for example, the change in the URL. We cannot accept any liability for the confidential treatment of your data on these websites by third parties since we have no influence on these companies’ compliance with data-protection regulations. Please see these companies’ websites for information on how they deal with your personal data.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”) to enable us to analyse usage of the website. The information generated by Google Analytics about your use of this website (including your IP address) is stored by Google Inc. Google will use this information solely for analysing usage of the website. Anonymised analyses and graphics about the number of visits, number of pages accessed per user etc. will be produced. We only use these for controlling purposes and for designing our websites so that they are optimised and meet demand. You can find more information on Google Analytics at

In our websites we sometimes use “cookies”. These enable us to make our offer more user-friendly and effective. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and are saved by your browser. We do not collect any personal data by means of cookies. You can either block cookies from being saved in your browser or activate a notification to appear whenever cookies are sent. If you do not use cookies, this may impair your usage of our website. 

Access data is stored whenever a file from our websites is requested. Each dataset consists of: IP address, previous page (if provided by browser), file name, date and time, data volume transferred, access status, type of browser. We analyse the data solely for statistical purposes. It is not transferred to third parties, even in extract form. This data cannot be ascribed to particular persons. The data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to audit this data subsequently if there is specific evidence of unlawful usage.

For reasons of security and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as the enquiries that you send us, our websites use SSL encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the address line, which will change from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties using technology of the current state of the art.

Please note that data transfer in the internet (e.g. communication by email) can be subject to security flaws. It is not possible to completely protect your data from access by third parties. Your emails will be transferred to us without additional encryption techniques. All information sent could therefore potentially be accessed by third parties during transmission. For security reasons, you should not send passwords, credit-card numbers or other information that you want to keep secret.
