General information on data protection in Austria

Since 25 May 2018, the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) has been in force in the European Union (also known as GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation). This Regulation defines how personal data may be processed and specifies the form in which they must be protected.  

What is the DSGVO/GDPR?

Definitions of terms:

scope of application
(According to DSGVO Article 4 paragraph 1)
The regulations of the DSGVO and the Austrian Data Protection Act are only to be applied to personal data of natural persons ("data subject") who thereby become directly or indirectly identifiable. For example, by assigning it to a name or an identification number, such as a social security number.

The data are stored anonymously, are not linked to the respective user and are automatically deleted after a few weeks. They can only be used by ARTS Asset Management GmbH for statistical evaluation in order to find out which content is used how frequently, to what extent and from which country.

Registration as user
Users can register on the ARTS Asset Management GmbH website with their own user account. A name, a valid e-mail address and a password are required for registration. As an alternative to entering your own password, the user can use your user account with an external provider (currently: Google, Facebook, LinkedIn) for authentication. In this case, the registration process takes place via the platform of the third party provider. ARTS Asset Management GmbH does not receive the access data that the user uses to log in. ARTS Asset Management GmbH only receives a user ID from the third party provider, which is linked to the respective user profile on the ARTS Asset Management GmbH website. ARTS Asset Management GmbH has no influence on which data the third party provider stores about the user. This depends solely on the privacy settings of the user at the provider concerned. 

Closing of the account and deletion of user data
A registered user can close his account at any time and without giving reasons via the account settings. Alternatively, the user can request the closure by e-mail to or by post to the business address (ARTS Asset Management GmbH, Siegfried-Ludwig Platz 2, 3100 St. Pölten, Austria). ARTS Asset Management GmbH will comply with the request within 5 working days of receipt and confirm the deletion by e-mail to the address given in the user account.

ARTS Asset Management GmbH will irrevocably delete all data in connection with the user profile when the account is closed.
