1. preamble

We, WEKA Industrie Medien GmbH, are an Austrian publishing house with our registered office in Vienna and our business address at Dresdner Strasse 45, 1200 Vienna, registered in the commercial register of the Vienna Commercial Court under FN 360567x. (hereinafter referred to as "WEKA") with a focus on B2B information. The changed information behaviour of readers has had an enormous impact on our company, as it has on the entire media industry. Whereas before the establishment of the internet the printed medium was the only information channel, today readers expect cross-media information that is available everywhere. We are responding to this trend very consistently and are making our journalistic content and editorial insights available digitally. We finance the production of this content predominantly with advertising and sponsoring, since such focused specialised information cannot be produced exclusively financed by readers in a small market like Austria. Therefore, it is indispensable for us to be able to reach our target groups.

Another consequence of the change in media is the financing of our content via thematically close B2B events about which we inform our readers, which we also make use of.

4.4 Processing of personal data in connection with the AuthO Single Sing On service

We also use the Auth0 Single-Sign-On authentication service to log in to our website. The service provider is the American company Auth0 Inc, 10800 NE 8th Street, Suite 700, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA. Auth0 also processes data in the USA, among other places.

The legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art 6 (1) f) DSGVO, especially as we have to organise the registration on our website and there are no conflicting interests in the protection of the data concerned.

Standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 DSGVO) are used as the basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular the USA) or a data transfer. These clauses oblige Auth0 to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data even outside the EU.

You can find out more about the data processed through the use of Auth0 in the privacy policy on https://auth0.com/de/privacy

4.5 Processing of personal data in connection with the WooCommerce service

We have integrated the open source shop system WooCommerce as a plugin on our website. This WooCommerce plugin is based on the WordPress content management system, which is a subsidiary of Automattic Inc. (60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA). The implemented functions send, store and process data to Automattic Inc.

We use this practical online shop solution to offer you our physical or digital products or services in the best possible way on our website. The aim is to provide you with simple and easy access to our offer, so that you can get to your desired products quickly and easily. With WooCommerce, we have found a good plugin that meets our requirements for an online shop.

Unless there is a legal obligation to keep data for a longer period of time, WooCommerce deletes the data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was stored. For example, server log files that contain technical data about your browser and IP address are deleted after about 30 days. Until then, Automattic uses the data to analyse the traffic on its own websites (for example, all WordPress pages) and to fix possible problems. The data is stored on Automattic's American servers.

The legal basis for processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO. If you do not want data to be collected and processed, you can refuse your consent or revoke it at any time with effect for the future (revocation takes place via the Cookie settings). The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

WooCommerce also processes data in the USA, among other places. As a basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or a data transfer there, WooCommerce uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 DSGVO). These clauses oblige WooCommerce to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data also outside the EU. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the clauses here, among other places: https://germany.representation.ec.europa.eu/index_de

4.6 Processing of personal data in connection with the Vimeo service

We also use videos from the company Vimeo on our website. The video portal is operated by Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. With the help of a plug-in, we can show you interesting video material directly on our website.

When you visit a page on our website that has a Vimeo video embedded, your browser connects to the Vimeo servers. This results in a data transmission. This data is collected, stored and processed on the Vimeo servers. Regardless of whether you have a Vimeo account or not, Vimeo collects data about you. This includes your IP address, technical information about your browser type, operating system or very basic device information. Furthermore, Vimeo stores information about which website you use the Vimeo service and what actions (web activities) you perform on our website. These web activities include, for example, session duration, bounce rate or which button you clicked on our website with a built-in Vimeo function. Vimeo may track and store these actions using cookies and similar technologies. Vimeo uses this data, among other things, to improve its own service, to communicate with you and to set its own targeted advertising measures.

Vimeo has its headquarters in White Plains in the state of New York (USA). However, the services are offered worldwide. The company uses computer systems, databases and servers in the USA and also in other countries. Your data can therefore also be stored and processed on servers in America. The data remains stored by Vimeo until the company no longer has an economic reason for storing it. Then the data is deleted or anonymised.

Vimeo also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Vimeo uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 DSGVO) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Vimeo undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the US. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.

4.7 Processing of personal data in connection with the Google Ads (Google AdWords) conversion tracking service

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) as an online marketing measure to promote our products and services. In this way, we want to draw more people's attention to the high quality of our offers on the internet. As part of our advertising measures through Google Ads, we use the conversion tracking of the company Google Inc. on our website. In Europe, however, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With the help of this free tracking tool, we can better adapt our advertising offer to your interests and needs.

As soon as you complete an action on our website, Google recognises the cookie and saves your action as a so-called conversion. As long as you surf our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google recognise that you have found us via our Google Ads ad. The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads with the conversion data. It is also possible that other cookies are used to measure conversions. The conversion tracking of Google Ads can be further refined and improved with the help of Google Analytics. For ads that Google displays in various locations on the web, cookies called "__gads" or "_gac" may be set under our domain. Since September 2017, various campaign information has been stored by analytics.js with the _gac cookie. The cookie stores this data as soon as you call up one of our pages for which the automatic tagging of Google Ads has been set up. Unlike cookies set for Google domains, Google can only read these conversion cookies when you are on our website. We do not collect or receive any personal data. We receive a report from Google with statistical evaluations. For example, we learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and we see which advertising measures were well received.

Google also processes your data in the USA, among other places. Google uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 DSGVO) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there.

In principle, when you call up a website with embedded videos, your IP address is already sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer. However, our YouTube videos have been embedded with the extended data protection mode. This is due to the fact that YouTube contacts "DoubleClick", a service of Google, but according to its own information, personal data is not evaluated. As a result, YouTube no longer stores information about visitors unless embedded videos are started. When you click on the video, your IP address is transmitted to YouTube and YouTube learns that you have watched the video. If you are logged in to YouTube via a user account, this information is also assigned to the user account. This can be prevented by logging out of YouTube before viewing the video. We have no knowledge of and no influence on the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. You can find more information on the processing of your data in YouTube's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

The content provided by Instagram is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the website.

By providing content through Instagram, Instagram is informed which subpage of our website you have accessed, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram.

The information about the subpages of our websites that you have visited, as well as your IP address, is transmitted by your browser directly to a Twitter server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Twitter, Twitter can directly assign your visit to the respective website to your Twitter account. If you interact with the Twitter plugins, for example by clicking the "Tweet" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Twitter server and stored there. The information is also published on your Twitter account and displayed there to your contacts.

If you do not want Twitter to assign the data collected via our websites directly to your Twitter account, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Twitter plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript".

We also use this data to send you our editorial newsletters and to send you offers for our company's products, provided you have given your consent to this (see also point 4.2).

In the event of a download of whitepapers, your data will also be passed on to our partners if you have given your consent for this.

In these cases, the legal basis is consent in accordance with Art 6 (1) a DSGVO. This consent can be revoked at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

If you have registered for one of our events, we use your data to process the order accordingly. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of the contract in accordance with Art 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

In addition, we will provide you with information on similar event products of our own. We rely on the legitimate interest pursuant to Art 6 (1) f) DSGVO to provide advertising.

In the course of organising events, a list of participants is passed on to sponsors and exhibitors. We make this disclosure based on your active consent given in this regard in the course of registration (or at a later point in time) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

5.3 Data transfers

We do not sell postal or e-mail distribution lists, nor do we pass on your details to other companies in return for payment. Data is only passed on in these cases:

To trustworthy order processors, such as printers and dispatch service providers (electronic and postal) or the Austrian Post for the purpose of postal delivery. For more information write to info@industriemedien.at.

To our partners in the event sector, if you have expressly agreed to this.

To our partners who provide so-called "white papers" free of charge and contact forms in advertorials ("QuestionLead"). Here, too, we clearly ask for your consent in the course of the download process.
To our payment service providers (Stripe) for the purpose of payment processing.

6. storage period

We delete data collected from contractual relationships upon termination of the business relationship after the end of the retention obligation or after expiry of the period for asserting or defending against warranty and damage compensation obligations.

We delete data that we process for marketing purposes as soon as you withdraw your consent to the processing.

Different storage periods are used when cookies are used. You can find these in our Cookie Policy.

7. data subject rights

Data protection law gives you, as a data subject, the following rights:

Right to informationUpon request, we will provide you with information free of charge about the scope, origin and recipient(s) of the stored data as well as the purpose of the storage. Please use the linked request for information. In the event of excessive requests for information (more than 4 times per year), we reserve the right to charge a fee.

Right of rectificationIf, despite our efforts to ensure that the data is correct and up to date, incorrect or incomplete information is stored, we will correct it at your request.

Right to erasureUnder certain circumstances, you have a right to deletion, for example in connection with an objection or if data was collected unlawfully. Provided that the legal requirements for deletion are met (i.e. no legal obligations or overriding interests conflict with this), we will immediately carry out the requested deletion.

Right of restriction of data processingYou can also request restriction of data processing for the reasons that justify a right to erasure - in this case, the stored data must remain stored (e.g. for purposes of preserving evidence), but may no longer be used for other purposes.

Objection / Right of revocationYou can object to data processing that we carry out on the basis of a legitimate interest - as far as data processing for direct advertising purposes is concerned, this right of objection is absolute. Consent given can be revoked at any time in writing and free of charge.

Right to transfer the data to third parties: If you wish to give the data you have disclosed to another data controller, we will provide it in an electronically transferable format.

Right of appeal to the data protection authorityWe also draw your attention to your right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the General Data Protection Regulation or other provisions of data protection law. However, you are also welcome to contact us directly at any time.

To exercise these rights, please use the contact information under point 1 and the data subject rights form available here. Please do not forget to include the documents specified in the form: We need to verify your identity to protect your data against unlawful processing (disclosure to unauthorised third parties).

We will revise this privacy policy if the nature of the data processing changes. The use of your data is subject to the current version, which can be accessed at industriemedien.at/datenschutz. We will announce any changes to this privacy policy via the above-mentioned websites or by e-mail to the e-mail address linked to your user account with our media.

9. protection of your data under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework

The framework ensures that companies that participate and transfer data from the EU to the US must adhere to strict data protection requirements, which:

Provide substantial guarantees for the protection of privacy and personal data of European citizens.
Ensure mechanisms for transparency and the enforcement of data protection rights through appropriate monitoring and review procedures.
Provide opportunities for EU citizens to lodge complaints and seek redress if they feel that their data has not been adequately protected.

Possible risks and your rights

Despite the improved protection provided by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, it cannot be completely ruled out that US authorities may have access to personal data on the basis of national laws. However, we would like to reassure you that Google is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your data and will only act in accordance with the established legal framework.

As a user, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about you, to have it corrected or deleted and to object to data processing. Further information on your rights and how you can exercise them can be found in our privacy policy.
