We do, of course, observe the data protection requirements applicable to us.

1. Automatic data collection and data handling

Generally, for access and use of the OFIL Europe GmbH website for informative purposes only, it is not required to provide any personal data.

As it is standard practice with many websites, we automatically gather and process the following non-personal data when accessing a website belonging to our website:

IP address of the calling computer,
Name and URL of the file accessed,
Date, time and duration of the site/page was accessed,
Data volumes transferred,

Name of your Internet access provider.

This data cannot be assigned to a particular person. This data is not merged with any other data, nor is data forwarded, nor is a personal user profile compiled.

Data is processed solely for the purpose of facilitating the use of the website (establishing a connection), for internal system-related purposes that affect technical administration and system security, and for statistical purposes, such as to be able to adapt the website better to meet your needs by anonymously evaluating general user behavior (see below 2 and 3).

2. Cookies

When you visit our website, our web servers do not store any cookies.

3. Collection, processing and use of personal data

Personal data such as your name, mailing address or e-mail address are only collected, processed and used when you sent this data to us, or entered it on our website.

The use of certain services of our website as contact forms and requests makes it necessary to collect, process and use personal data.

In this case we feel committed to the principle of data minimization and collect only such personal data (marked as mandatory) that are necessary for the purpose of utilization and processing of the relevant services.

Information to personal data provided in other sections is voluntary and is used by us for the purpose to be able to address you individually and in person or to increase the service for you.

We also process personal data when you purchase goods or services from us, e.g. in the context of processing orders and contracts or for delivery and invoicing.

Moreover, if a certain data collection, processing or use, such as for the subscription to a newsletter, is necessary, we will ask for your prior consent.

This declaration of consent is recorded by us and can be accessed by you at any time. You are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time, in whole or in part with future effect. Such a revocation will be recorded by us.

When processing your personal data, we adhere to the following legal grounds:

The fulfilment of a contract with the individual concerned or for pre-contractual measures at their request
legitimate interests; including, for example, the interest in customer care and communicating with customers, including outside a contract; in marketing activities; for the purpose of getting to know our customers and other individuals better; in improving products and services and developing new ones; in administration and traffic within the internal group, as required within a group with a division of labour; in the fight against fraud, and preventing and investigating offences; protecting customers, employees and other persons and data, secrets and assets of OFIL Europe GmbH; in ensuring IT security, especially pertaining to the use of websites, apps and other IT infrastructure; in guaranteeing and organising business operations, including the operation and further development of websites and other systems; in corporate management and development; in the sale or purchase of companies, parts of companies and other assets; in the enforcement or defence of legal claims; and in compliance with austrian law and internal rules
for consent, where we make a separate request for consent.

5. Data transfer to third parties

Personal data gathered in the course of using our website is generally neither forwarded to third parties nor transferred in any other way. Exceptions include the transfer of personal data to government institutions and authorities and private rights holders if legally required or upon judicial or governmental decisions and in legal or criminal proceedings upon infringement of our rights.

Your personal data may also be forwarded to subsidiaries of OFIL Europe GmbH or to external service providers for purposes previously notified. Such external service providers we may engage to operate our website or to process certain services on our website process personal data solely on our behalf and are contractually obliged to comply with legal provisions regarding data protection and data security.

The recipients of your personal data may also be located outside Austria – even outside the EU or the EEA. The countries concerned may not have laws that protect your personal data to the same extent as in Austria, the EU or the EEA. Should we transfer your personal data to such a country, we are obliged to ensure the protection of your personal data in an appropriate manner. One way of doing this is to enter into data transfer agreements with the recipients of your personal data to ensure the necessary data protection. Please contact us (see sec. 11 below) if you would like a copy of our data transfer agreements.

6. Data security

Data gathered and stored is treated strictly confidential and protected from loss, amendment and unauthorised third-party access by implementing appropriate technical and organisational precautions. Data transferred between your computer and us via our website is partially SSL encrypted.

7. Your rights

You may object to data processing at any time, in particular data processing relating to direct marketing (e.g. against e-mail advertising).

You are within the scope of the law applicable to you entitled to at any time require access to your personal data that is being processed by us.

You have within the scope of the law applicable to you the right at any time to amend, freeze or block your personal data that is being stored. If deletion of the data violates statutory, contractual, commercial or fiscal laws, in particular the law on retention periods, or overriding interests the data will be frozen instead of deleted.

You also have the right to revoke consent at any time. Such revocation will however not affect the legality of data processing carried out until such revocation.

If you wish to make use of your right to amend, freeze or delete data, or if you wish to revoke your consent to process and use your personal data either in whole or in part, please contact us by using any of the contact details set forth in point 11.

If you wish to write us an email, please note that the content of unencrypted emails may possibly be read by third parties. We would therefore recommend you sending confidential information in encrypted form or via regular mail.

8. Data retention

We store your personal data in personal form for as long as it is necessary for the specific purpose for which we have collected it, for contracts as a rule at least for the duration of the contractual relationship. We also save personal data if we have a legitimate interest in storing it, e.g. for documentation and evidence preservation purposes and for safeguarding and defending legal claims. In addition, we store your personal data as long as they are subject to a statutory retention obligation.

9. Amendment of the Privacy Statement

It might become necessary from time to time to adapt this Privacy Statement, in particular to further develop this website or to company with changes of laws. Therefore, OFIL Europe GmbH reserves the right at any time to change the Privacy Statement with effect for the future. We therefore recommend that you read this Privacy Statement periodically.
