of direct marketing:

The controller will process customer data (except for data of children or special categories of personal data as defined in Art. 9 GDPR3 ("sensitive data")) also to use them for direct marketing purposes for (other) products of the controller (see also no. (5)). The controller has a legitimate interest in processing personal data for direct marketing purposes (last sentence of Recital 47, GDPR). Only customer data which the controller possesses under the contractual relationship and for which the storage period has not expired yet will be processed. This will not extend the storage period. The primary aim of data processing is to solicit customers with the aim of selling software solutions to customers. In this regard the controller relies on its freedom to communicate, which is protected by constitutional law and conventions (in particular Art. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which also protects advertising measures) and to the rights to

  • send electronic mail upon consent;
  • send electronic mail as defined in Section 107 (3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act [TKG].

When using such data the controller shall meet the requirements under communication law, in particular Section 107 TKG.

of verifying the licence:

The controller will store IP addresses of licenced customers to verify the licence key and prevent misuse of the licence key. The controller has an overriding legitimate interest in such data processing for the purposes of verifying the licence.

of IT security:

The controller will store the IP addresses of its customers for a period of 7 days to defend against targeted attacks in the form of server overloads (Denial of Service attacks) or other damage to the systems. The controller has an overriding legitimate interest in such data processing for the purpose of maintaining the functionality of their services provided online (Recital 49 GDPR).

12. Transfer to third countries

In the course of data processing the following data will be transmitted to countries outside the EU:

Country: USA
Application: Google LLC (EU-US Privacy Shield)
Types of Data: Email communication

Country: USA
Application: Microsoft
Types of Data: IP addresses

13. Social media presence

The controller advises that it keeps available separate online presences in social media channels for advertising purposes and for communicating with customers. In these online presences customer data may be processed outside the European Union, which increases the risk for a data protection breach. To the extent that they are resident in the USA the providers of social media channels have submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Those online presences are kept available in the technical environment of the relevant social media operator. The social media operator will then use the customer's visit to the online presence for his own purposes, in particular for sending out (interest-based) advertising. The social media operators use the visit to store cookies on the customer's terminal device, to retrieve existing cookies/identifiers, to draw conclusions from the user behaviour regarding the customer's interests and thus to enhance the user profile which has been established for the customer or the identifier. The aim is to send out interest-based advertising to the customer, which may also be done on websites of third-party providers visited at a later point in time.

Processing personal data of the customer is based on the overriding legitimate interests of the controller in advertising measures and communication with the customer, which is protected by conventions and constitutional law through the freedom to carry on a business (Art.6 of the Austrian Basic Law [Staatsgrundgesetz/StGG]) and the freedom to communicate (in particular Art. 10 ECHR, which also protects advertising measures). If the customers are users of social media channels, data processing may also be covered by the customer's consent.

The controller advises that it has no access whatsoever to the customer's data. Thus, the controller recommends customers contact the social media channel directly if they want to assert their rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability. Users of social media channels may also make changes in their privacy settings themselves. If necessary, the controller will provide assistance to the customer.
