Privacy
Protecting your privacy is of special importance to us; that being said, we exclusively process your data in conformity with the applicable law (GDPR, Austrian Telecommunications Act - 2003). The following privacy policy statement informs you about the most relevant aspects of data processing within the scope of our website.
1. Name and address of the individual /entity responsible for processing data
Responsible within the meaning of the GDPR:
SAPS 3 research group
Langenzersdorferstraße 28, 1210 Wien
+43 (1) 9522842 10
office@saps3.org
2. Collection of personal data
Upon visiting our website, we merely store access data via so-called server-log files; these are data your browser automatically provides, without any specific reference to individuals, that is:
- Type/version of browser
- Language setting of browser
- Operating system in place
- Referrer-URL (previously visited page)
- Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
- Time and date of server query
These data cannot be traced to any specific individuals; furthermore, the data are not combined with other data sources; besides, these data are deleted after a statistical analysis. To this end, user traffic on our website is stored in server log files, including the IP–address. In this process, the IP address is automatically anonymized by deleting the last two digits. These log files are prepared monthly for statistical purposes by way of analysis software and subsequently deleted; we have no way of tracing these data to any specific individual while using them.
Some functional features on our website ask the user to state personal data such as name, e-mail address etc; name and other data may be provided voluntarily here. Data voluntarily provided by users via the “Registration” form are stored in an encrypted server-site database. The data collected are intended to be used for the purpose of sending the SAPS3 research group newsletter and further communications concerning the participation in the SAPS3D study project. These data are not to be shared with any external parties.
We process your data on servers located in Austria, hence within the purview of the EU Data Protection framework.
3. Data Processing on behalf
Based on a separate agreement concerning the processing of personal data on behalf your data (as set forth in point 2) will be collected, processed and used by our web host all-inkl (https://all-inkl.com) within the purview of processing data on behalf as set forth in Art 28 GDPR in conformity with the respective applicable provisions; access data are exclusively stored on servers located in Austria; however, this does not imply a transfer of your data to a third party in terms of data protection; it is the SAPS3 research group that is accountable to you in terms of data protection.
4. Rights of individuals concerned
The right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw or revoke your consent to storing your personal data at any time; as well, you have the right to revoke, at any time, the consent to collecting and storing any additional data you provided voluntarily. We would like to point out that we check your identity for the purpose of protecting your privacy and security before you may adopt any such measures. If you want to withdraw your consent as to the future use of your data and/or wish to revoke your consent granted, you want to turn to the following address, ideally by supplying a copy of your ID: dataprotection@saps3.org; in the event you revoke your consent to storing, processing, and using your personal data, we will immediately erase and block access to them.
Erasure, deletion (“the right to be forgotten”), and rectification of your personal data
You also have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data we have stored, to withdraw consent, to have access blocked to them, to have them erased and to have them rectified, respectively; in addition, you also have the right to get your data transferred to other parties.
