Personal data

The Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation collects, processes and uses your personal data for the agreed purposes only with your consent or in accordance with another legal basis pursuant to the GDPR in compliance with regulations regarding data protection and civil law. We only collect the personal data required to perform and process our services or which you have provided to us of your own accord. Personal data are all data containing specific information about personal or factual circumstances such as name, address, email address, and telephone number.

Access and erasure

At any time you have the right to access your stored personal data, information concerning their origin and recipients, and the purpose of their processing as well as the right to rectification, portability, objection, restriction of processing, and blocking or erasure of inaccurate or unlawfully processed data. If there are changes in your personal data, we kindly ask you to notify us accordingly. You have the right to withdraw at any time any consent given to use your personal data. Your request for access, erasure, rectification, objection and/or portability, in case of the latter if it does not involve disproportionate effort, can be addressed to the contact address office@kiesler.org.

If you think that the processing of your personal data by us violates applicable data protection legislation or that your rights under data protection legislation have been otherwise injured, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the Data Protection Authority is responsible for this.

Data security

We take appropriate organisational and technical precautions to protect your personal data. These precautions relate in particular to safeguards against unauthorised, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation. In spite of all efforts to uphold a constantly appropriate high degree of diligence, it cannot be ruled out that information which you make available to us via the internet may be viewed and used by third parties. Please bear in mind, therefore, that we assume no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors during data transmission not caused by us and/or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacker attack on email account or telephone, fax interception).

Use of data

We will not process the data made available to us for any purposes other than those to which you have given your consent or which are covered by regulations in accordance with the GDPR. Exempt from this is use for statistical purposes if the data made available have been anonymised.

Transfer of data to third parties

Transfer of your data is performed exclusively in accordance with the GDPR, in particular to complete your order or based on your prior consent. Some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside of your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to the level existing in Austria. However, we only transfer your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has determined that they have an appropriate level of data protection, or we employ measures to ensure that all recipients have an appropriate level of data protection, for the purpose of which we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).

Reporting of data mishaps

We aim to ensure that data mishaps are detected as soon as possible and that they are reported immediately, taking the respective data categories into consideration, to you or the supervisory authority having jurisdiction.

Retention of data

We will store data no longer than is necessary to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations and to defend ourselves against any liability claims.

Cookies

This website uses “cookies” to help us make our service more user-friendly, effective and safe. A “cookie” is a small text file which is sent by our web server to the browser’s cookie file on your computer’s hard disk. This allows our website to recognise you as a user when your browser connects to our web server. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our internet pages. The content of the cookies we use is limited to an identification number that does not allow any personal reference to the user. The main purpose of a cookie is to identify visitors to the website.

This website uses two kinds of cookies:

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser’s cookie file until you leave our website and that are automatically deleted when you end your visit.
• Persistent cookies: To improve user-friendliness, these cookies stay on your device and allow us to recognise your browser next time you visit our website.

You can configure your browser to inform you whenever cookies are set and only allow cookies individually, to deny them in certain cases or always, and to have cookies automatically deleted when your close your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Newsletter

We offer the opportunity to subscribe to our email newsletter free of charge. We only send this newsletter with your consent. We do not send the newsletter to you directly but rather through our subcontractor Newsletter2Go GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin (https://www.newsletter2go.at/impressum) whose server is situated in Germany. However, Newsletter2Go will not use your data to contact you themselves.

The data are not passed on to any third parties in connection with processing the data for sending newsletters.

We obtain your consent and draw attention to this Privacy Statement for processing these data for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We use the “double opt-in” registration process. After registering, you will receive an email prompting you to click on a link to confirm your registration. This allows us to prevent unauthorised persons from registering with your email address.
The data you indicate are stored for as a long as the subscription is active. You can cancel the subscription at any time. Every newsletter contains a cancellation link for this purpose. This also allows you to withdraw your consent. The legal basis for processing your data once you have given your consent to receiving newsletters is article 6 para 1 lit. a GDPR.

Our newsletters may contain “tracking pixels”, which are pixel-sized files that are downloaded from our server or the server of Newsletter2Go when you open the newsletter. These tracking pixels do not contain any personal data and are used solely for statistical purposes to ascertain whether and which links contained in the newsletters are clicked on. This information cannot be linked to individual newsletter recipients.

Server log files

To optimise this website with regard to system performance, user-friendliness, and delivery of useful information about our services, the provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in “server log files” that your browser automatically sends to us. This information comprises your Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your internet service provider, and the date/time. These data are not associated with any sources of personal data. We reserve the right to check these data at a later date if we become aware of any concrete evidence of unlawful use.
