Data privacy statement

The data privacy statement of the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office is based on the terms used by the European body issuing directives and regulations when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO). Our data privacy statement should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this data privacy statement:

a) Personal data
Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “person concerned”). An identifiable person is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more specific characteristics that are expressions of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Person concerned
The person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the responsible party.

c) Processing
Processing is any procedure or series of procedures involving personal data, carried out with or without the help of automated methods, such as collection, capture, organisation, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, selection, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linkage, restriction, deletion or destruction.

d) Processing restriction
Processing restriction is the marking of stored personal data with a view to restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling is any kind of automated processing of personal data, which consists of using this personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects of the natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, place of residence or relocation.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific person concerned without further information, provided that such additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures that ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Responsible party or party responsible for processing
The responsible party or party responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body, which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are prescribed by EU law or by the law of the member states, the responsible party may, in accordance with EU law or the law of the member states, stipulate the specific criteria for its designation.

h) Assigned processor
An assigned processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the responsible party.

i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate according to EU law or the law of a member state law shall not be considered to be recipients.

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the person concerned, responsible party, assigned processor and those authorised to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the responsible party or assigned processor.

k) Consent
Consent is any declaration or other unambiguous and informed expression of intent given voluntarily by the person concerned in the form of a declaration or any other clear, unequivocal action by the person concerned that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

The responsible party within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws in force in the member states of the European Union and other provisions dealing with data protection is the:

To improve the user experience on the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office's website this website uses the software Hotjar, a service of Hotjar Ltd., Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta (hereafter: "Hotjar"). With Hotjar the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Officecan, among other things, measure and evaluate the user behaviour (mouse movement, clicks, height of scrolling, etc.) on the website. With this it is possible for the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office to draw conclusions about the user experience on the webiste. For this purpose Hotjar sets cookies on the user's devices to store data of the user as eg. browser information, operating system, dwell time on the website, IP address (in anonymized form) etc. In addition a specific tracking code is used. The collected data is transmitted to a Hotjar server in Ireland and stored there. You will find further information on Hotjar's data processing on https://www.hotjar.com/privacy.
If you want to block Hotjar, you can do this at any time and free of charge with the "do not track header", which you can find on http://overheat.de/opt-out.html. You can also deactivate the execution of javascript in your browser or install a tool like the script blocker "NoScript" (www.noscript.net).

The website of the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office collects a range of general data and information each time a person concerned or automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser type and version used; (2) the operating system used by the accessing system; (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called “referrer”); (4) the sub-websites visited via an accessing system on our website; (5) the date and time of accessing the website; (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address); (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system; (8) other similar data and information that is used to prevent threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. This information is in fact required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimise the content of our website and advertising, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically by the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office on the one hand and then also with the aim of increasing data privacy and data security at our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

The Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office's website gives users the option of subscribing to our company newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted to the party responsible for processing when the newsletter is ordered.
The Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office informs its customers and business partners about the company’s offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. Our company newsletter can only be received by the person concerned if (1) the person concerned has a valid email address and (2) the person concerned has registered for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by the person concerned for the first time for sending the newsletter in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to check whether the owner of the email address has authorised the receipt of the newsletter as the person concerned.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a person concerned at a later point in time and therefore serves as legal protection for the party responsible for processing.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical conditions, if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration. The personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for sending the newsletter, can be revoked at any time. You will find a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe directly from the newsletter at any time on the website of the party responsible for processing or to inform the party responsible for processing in any other way.

We use web push notifications from PushPanda.io. Web push notifications are notifications that can be displayed on your terminal device without opening the website or the relevant app. No distinctive user data, such as IP addresses or similar, that could allow the user in question to be identified, are saved. If somebody registers for the notification distributor (opt-in process), only an identification code and the geographical IP information (country and state) of the user are sent to PushPanda.io and stored in its database. This code is issued by the respective browser provider (Google, Mozilla, etc.) and enables the notifications to be sent to the relevant browser later. Notifications are sent by the browser provider itself. If the opt-in for push notifications is withdrawn (opt-out), all data saved with PushPanda.io is deleted and the identification code will be invalid. You can find information about opting out of push notifications at https://www.pushpanda.io/de/links/abmeldung/. PushPanda.io is a service of Project K GmbH, with headquarters in Innsbruck, Austria.

Due to legal regulations, the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office's website contains information that enables fast electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called “electronic post” (email address). If a person concerned contacts the party responsible for processing via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the person concerned will be stored automatically.

This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

If a person concerned wants to use this right to rectification, he or she can contact our data protection officer at any time.

d) Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)
Any person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European body issuing directives and regulations to ask the responsible party to immediately delete any personal data concerning him or her, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

• personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

The Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office's data protection officer or another employee will arrange for the request for deletion to be complied with immediately.

The Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office's data protection officer or another employee will take the necessary steps in individual cases.

If the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office processes personal data for direct advertising purposes, the person concerned has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of this kind of advertising. This also applies to profiling if it is in connection with this kind of direct advertising.

The person concerned shall also be free to exercise his or her right of objection in relation to the use of information society services by means of automated procedures for which technical specifications are used, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Every person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European body issuing directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect against him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar manner, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the responsible party, or (2) is admissible under the provisions of EU law or those of the member states to which the responsible party is subject and these provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the person concerned or (3) is made with the express consent of the person concerned.
If the decision (1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the responsible party or (2) is made with the express consent of the person concerned, the Annaberg-Lungötz Tourist Office shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the person concerned, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the person responsible, to state his or her own position and to challenge the decision.
If the person concerned wishes to assert his or her right relating to automated decisions, he or she may contact our data protection officer at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent relating to data privacy
Every person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European body issuing directives and regulations to withdraw consent given to process personal data at any time.
If the person concerned wishes to assert his or her right to revoke his or her consent, he or she may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Article 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If processing personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the person concerned is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b DS-GMO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out precontractual measures, for example, in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example, to fulfil tax obligations, processing is based on Article. 6 I lit. c DS-GMO. In rare cases, processing personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor was injured at our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Processing would then be based on Article 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. We are entitled to these kind of processing procedures in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It advocates the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the person concerned is a customer of the responsible party (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GMO).

If processing personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GMO, it is in our legitimate interest to conduct our business activity for the good of all our employees and our shareholders.

The criterion for the duration of personal data storage is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). From time to time, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a person concerned provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned shall undertake to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him or her. The only consequence of not providing personal information is that the contract will not be able to be concluded with the person concerned. Prior to the provision of personal data by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

As a responsible company, we abstain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
