III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal dataWe only collect and use personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as
well as our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only
with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real
reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
I
nsofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. 

3. Data erasure and storage time
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

IV. Collection of data for Compass products (information accoring to Art. 14 DSGVO)

1. Scope of the processing of personal data
Compass-Verlag GmbH has been operating as an address book publisher for 150 years. It publishes data on Austrian companies in its business databases, using other registers and editorial research as a source in addition to the commercial register. In the interest of our customers, we are concerned about completeness and accuracy. (Link to company presentation: https://compass.at/de/ueber-compass) Where data of natural persons are processed, our activities fall under the General Data Protection Regulation and the Austrian Data Protection Act.

The core activity consists of

  • collecting and structuring
  • publicly available and self researched data
  • from different sources
  • with regard to Austrian economically active units
  • and importing into your own databases
  • as a convenient information product in various technical formats

for a fee. This information is used by our customers to continuously monitor their own customer relationships and to combat fraud.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The activities of Compass-Verlag GmbH are primarily governed by Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR; processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the person responsible or a third party. We may refer you to recital 47, which defines the prevention of fraud as a legitimate interest and states that the processing of personal data for the purpose of direct marketing can also be regarded as processing serving a legitimate interest.

Where data subjects provide us with data, we are pleased to receive their consent in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We are aware that the transfer of third parties’ data (employees of the respective companies) must first be regulated internally, but we assume that this clarification has been carried out within the company.

3. Purpose of data processing
Compass-Verlag GmbH has several trade licences to provide its services:

  • Address publisher and direct marketing company § 151 GewO 
  • Credit agency about credit relations § 152 GewO
  • Book publisher pursuant to § 103 Abs. 1 lit. b Z. 7 GewO 1973
  • Book trade pursuant to § 103 Abs. 1 lit. b Z. 6 GewO 1973, limited to the sale of the publisher's own reference works, as well as the purchase and sale of reference and address books and works of economic literature from other publishers
  • Services in automatic data processing and information technology
  • Advertising agency according to § 103 Abs. 1 lit. b Z. 55 GewO 1973, limited to reference works, address books and works of economic literature.

The purpose of data processing pursuant to Article 5 para 1 lit b GDPR is therefore to support the provision of services expressly permitted by law in accordance with the trade regulations.

4. Source of personal data
Among other things, Compass-Verlag GmbH uses personal data as a source: Commercial register, trade register, trademark register, patent register, supplementary register of other affected parties, medical association, telephone directories of information services, register of associations, chamber of notaries, dentists, veterinarians, Federal Ministry of Health, chamber of trustees, Austrian Chamber of Commerce, financial market supervision.

5. Categories of personal data
All data categories from the underlying public registers are stored. The following data can be included: Internal ID, name, title, gender, date of birth, contact details, public ID (e.g. ZVR number).

6. Categories of recipients
The recipients of the data are users of the Compass services.

7. Storage time
We store the data permanently, as historical data is of great value to us and our customers. Compass books from the interwar period were used as a crucial source for dealing with restitution issues. We have digitized the entire database from 150 years of publishing activities and offer this historical data in our own product.

8. Possibility of opposition and elimination
Article 14 of the GDPR provides for information requirements where personal data have not been collected from the data subject, but paragraph 5 of this Article again provides for exceptions to these information requirements. Two of these exceptions also apply to us:

Paragraphs 1 to 4 (= the duty to provide information) shall not apply if and to the extent that

(b) the provision of such information proves impossible or would require a disproportionate effort

(c) obtainment or disclosure by legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and which takes appropriate measures to protect the relevant information.

Almost all data of Compass products originate from freely accessible public databases. The further use of such data is regulated in the European PSI Directive and the Austrian Information Processing Act. This legislation contains a reference to the data protection provisions and therefore falls under point c). Moreover, informing millions of people would require a disproportionate effort. We therefore make this information available to the public, as provided for in Article 14 para. 5 lit. b, last sentence, GDPR.

V. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user's operating system
(3) The IP address of the user
(4) Date and time of access
(5) Websites from which the user's system reaches our website
(6) Websites accessed by the user's system via our website
(7) The user's request

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of
the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 3 months at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Possibility of opposition and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

VI. Use of cookies

1. Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic character string that enables a unique identification of the browser when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

(1) Log-in information
(2) Whether the cookie notification was viewed
(3) Invoice address if desired

We use cookies on our website which enable an analysis of the user's surfing behaviour.

In this way, the following data can be transmitted:

(1) Frequency of page views
(2) Survey of the Austrian Web Analysis (ÖWA)

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data will not be stored together with other personal data of the users.

When you visit our website, an information banner informs you about the use of cookies for analytical purposes and refers you to this data protection statement.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For this it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.

We need cookies for the following applications:

(1) Log-in information
(2) Remember the billing address
(3) Non-display of cookie notifications

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

The analytics cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through the analytics cookies we learn how the website is used and can thus continuously optimize our offer.

The analytics cookies count the visitors to the websites and record the behaviour on our website. This allows us to optimize our websites so that users can find the most frequently used functions more quickly.

For these purposes, our legitimate interest also lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website.

VII. Newsletter

1. Description and scope of data processing
You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.

The following data is collected during registration:

(1) E-mail address
(2) Name
(3) IP address of the calling computer
(4) Date and time of registration

In the course of the registration process, your consent is obtained for the processing of the data and reference is made to this data protection declaration.

In connection with data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, no data is passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

In addition, the creation and use of interest and consumer behaviour profiles for target group segmentation is a legitimate and therefore permissible data processing for direct advertising purposes without the consent of the data subject. In cases of missing or incorrect consent, we therefore see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO as an effective legal basis.

3. Purpose of data processing
The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to send the newsletter.

The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

5. Possibility of opposition and elimination
The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

This also makes it possible to revoke the consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

VIII. Contact form and e-mail contact

1. Description and scope of data processing
There is a contact form on our website which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. This data is:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Title
  • Company
  • E-Mail
  • Subject
  • Message

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

  • The IP address of the user
  • Date and time of registration

Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data within the scope of the sending process.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 exp. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only for processing the contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have finally been clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

5. Possibility of opposition and elimination
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

A revocation of the consent and a contradiction of the storage can take place at any time over datenschutz@compass.at.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

IX. Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

1. Scope of the processing of personal data
On our website we use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on the user's computer (see above for cookies). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

  • Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system
  •  The accessed website
  •  The website from which the user has accessed the accessed website (referrer)
  •  The sub-pages accessed from the accessed website
  •  The time spent on the website
  •  The frequency with which the website is accessed

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. The personal data of users is only stored there. The data will not be passed on to third parties.

The software is set so that the IP addresses are not completely stored, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for processing users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. We are in a position to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website by evaluating the data obtained. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, it is also in our legitimate interest to process the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, users' interest in protecting their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes.

5. Possibility of opposition and elimination
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

We offer our users on our website the possibility of an opt-out from the analysis procedure. You have to follow the corresponding link (https://analytics.compass.at/index.php?module=CoreAdminHome&action=optOut&language=de%20&backgroundColor=&fontColor=&fontSize=&fontFamily). In this way, another cookie is placed on your system, which signals to our system not to store the user's data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from his own system in the meantime, he must set the opt-out cookie again.

More information about the privacy settings of the Matomo software can be found under the following link:
https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.

XI. Advertising services

1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We use external services to offer you usage-based online advertising. "Usage-based online advertising" is digital advertising based on the anonymous analysis of the surfing behaviour of Internet users and delivered in accordance with the interests they assume. It is safe, transparent and consumer-friendly.

The IP address of the user is processed by an external service provider, subject to the user's consent. In this case he acts as the person responsible; this processing does not constitute order processing by Compass-Verlag GmbH within the meaning of Articles 28 ff DSGVO.

If no consent is given, the personal data will be used for the delivery of non-personalised advertising, but will not be processed further.

2. Person in charge
Responsible for the processing of the User IP is

4. Purpose of data processing
Usage-based online advertising is the collection of information about the surfing behaviour of anonymous users on the Internet with the aim of deriving user profiles.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transmission.

This right to information may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realisation of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.

2. Right of rectification
You have a right of rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you are incorrect or incomplete. The controller shall make the correction without delay.

Your right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudicial the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

3. Right of restriction of processing

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to limitation of processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudicial the achievement of research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.

4. Right to erasure

a) Duty to delete

You may request the data controller to delete the personal data relating to you without delay and the controller is obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent, on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You file an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you file an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data processors who process the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to cancellation does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise freedom of expression and information;
(2) for the performance of a legal obligation required for processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the law referred to under a) is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right of information
If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or limit the processing, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

The controller shall have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another person in charge without obstruction by the person in charge to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

(1) processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) processing is carried out by means of automated methods.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.

7. Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you under Article 6 para. 1 lit. e or lit. f of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The data controller no longer processes the personal data concerning you, unless he can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of Information Society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

You also have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation.

Your right to object may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realisation of the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

8. Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw consent of processing your data at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) the legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject is admissible and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to state his own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or suspect of infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
