2) Data collection when you visit our website

If you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called‘server log files’). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, technically required for us to display the website:

Our visited website
Date and time at the time of access
The volume of transmitted data in bytes
Source/link from which you came to the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used (if applicable: in anonymised form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website and evaluating system security. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. Your data will not be used to draw conclusions about you. Information of this kind is only statistically evaluated to optimise our internet presence.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for the data used to display the website when the respective browser session is ended.

However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are specific indications of unlawful use.

3) Cookies

We use cookies on various pages to make visiting our website more appealing and to enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit (so-called persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain individual user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can find the duration of the respective cookie storage in the overview of the cookie settings of your Web browser.

In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g. remembering the contents of a virtual shopping basket for a later visit to the website). If personal data is also processed by individual cookies that we use, the processing is carried out either in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of granted consent, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

Please note that you can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept or reject cookies, in specific cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages the cookie settings. This is described in each browser’s help menu, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find this for each browser at the following links:

4) Contact

When you contact us (e.g. using a contact form or by e‑mail), personal data is collected. What data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are stored and used solely for the purpose of answering your enquiry or for establishing contact and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of these data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures). Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request.

5) Data processing for contract fulfilment

In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, personal data is collected and processed if you provide it to us for the purpose of executing a contract. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We store and use the data you provide for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. After complete fulfilment of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be deleted with due regard to tax and commercial law retention periods (currently 7 years).

When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis.

6) Data processing for order processing and for event registration

In order to process your order, we work together with the following service provider(s), who support us in whole or in part in the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data is transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

The personal data collected by us will be forwarded to the transport company contracted for delivery as part of the contract processing, if this is necessary for delivery of the goods. Your payment is processed directly by Six payment services and no payment data is stored in the shop. The legal basis for the forwarding of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

MEDIAUNIT and Cornèrcard collaborate on the design of this website. However, MEDIAUNIT is solely responsible for the processing of your personal data in connection with the use of this website. Your personal data may be passed on to Cornèrcard, for example when registering to participate in events or competitions.

7) Web analysis services

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a Web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’). Google (Universal) Analytics uses so-called‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your device, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your abbreviated IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on its servers, and may also be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the United States.

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’, which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by shortening it; this prevents linking the data to a specific person. As a result of the extension, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other member states of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google LLC server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

All the processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the website.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service in the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.

For the transmission of data from the EU to the US, Google relies on the so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European standard of data protection in the US.

8) Rights of the data subject

The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive rights vis-à-vis the data controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we will inform you below:

Right of access according to Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the source of your data if not collected by us from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended impact of such processing on you, as well as your right to be informed of the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR for the transfer of your data to third countries;
Right to rectification under Art. 16 GDPR: You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or to have incomplete personal data completed;
Right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you where one of the grounds listed in Art. 17 (1) GDPR applies. However, this right does not apply in particular if the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the correctness of your data, which you dispute, is being verified, if you refuse the deletion of your data due to unauthorised data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you require your data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved or if you have objected to processing on grounds relating to your particular situation, pending the verification of whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
Right to be informed pursuant to Article 19 GDPR: If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.
Right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller, where technically feasible;
Right to revoke consent granted pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR: You have the right to revoke consent granted for the processing of data at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, we will immediately delete the data concerned, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until its withdrawal;
Right to lodge a complaint in accordance with Article 77 GDPR: If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Austria, the Austrian Data Protection Authority) without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

8.2 Right to object

If your personal data is processed on the basis of our overriding interest, you have the right at any time to object to this processing with effect for the future. However, we reserve the right to further processing if there are compelling reasons for further processing.

In the event of a contradiction between the German and the French and/or Italian language versions, only the German language version is decisive and legally valid.
