3.1 General points
Unless further details regarding the legal bases for our processing activities are provided, the following applies:
Consent is obtained on the basis of point (a) of Art. 6(1) and Art. 7 et seq. GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without providing a reason. In this respect, the lawfulness of the data processing prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected. Following withdrawal, the data will no longer be used for the purpose for which consent was granted (e.g., sending an email newsletter).
Data processing in connection with pre-contractual measures and the performance of contracts (such as funding agreements) takes place on the basis of point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. Compliance with legal obligations and the implementation of statutory provisions are based on points (c) and (e) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. Where processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, it is based on point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
In accordance with Articles 15 et seq. GDPR, there is generally a right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and objection, and in certain cases data portability, provided that no statutory grounds prevent this.
The retention periods for specific data processing activities are determined either by specific statutory provisions or by the applicable regulations governing the destruction of records. According to Section 3 of the Upper Austrian State Archives Act (Oö. Archivgesetz), the State Government of Upper Austria is required to offer all documents it no longer requires for immediate reference to the Upper Austrian State Archives for acceptance (and assessment of archival value) upon the expiry of a period defined by organisational regulations (regulations governing the destruction of records) or no later than 30 years after their creation (maximum time limits).
The Austrian Data Protection Authority is the competent body for any complaints regarding data protection law.
Please also note that pursuant to Article 22a of the Austrian Federal Constitutional Act and the Austrian Freedom of Information Act, the State of Upper Austria is legally obliged to publish information and provide information upon request and may thus be required to process personal data or subject such data to further processing.
