3. General information and mandatory details

Data Protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Information on the data controller

The data controller for data processing on this website is:

skiCHECK GmbH
Dorfplatz 1
6263 Fügen

Telephone: +43.50.312
Email: info@skicheck.at

The data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Retention period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it is processed no longer applies. If you make a valid request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be erased, provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.

Email: info@skicheck.at

Note on the transfer of data to the USA and other third countries

Our website incorporates, amongst other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 of the GDPR)

Where data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data in question, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection under Article 21(2) of the GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place where the alleged infringement occurred, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to them infringes this Regulation.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, following the conclusion of a contract involving a fee, you are required to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number for a direct debit authorisation), these details are required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using standard payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser bar.

With encrypted communication, the payment details you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, erasure and rectification

In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified, restricted or erased. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this matter or any other questions relating to personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purposes of asserting, exercise or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in accordance with the legal requirement to provide an imprint for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional communications, such as via spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our website uses so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain any viruses. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyse user behaviour or to display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide specific functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Where cookies are used by third parties or for analytical purposes, we will inform you of this separately within this privacy policy and, where necessary, seek your consent.

Cookie consent with Cookiebot

Our website uses Cookiebot’s cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. This technology is provided by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter ‘Cookiebot’).

When you visit our website, a connection is established with Cookiebot’s servers to obtain your consents and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser so that it can associate the consents you have given – or any withdrawal thereof – with your session. The data collected in this way is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. You may amend or withdraw your consent to the use of statistical, analytical and/or marketing cookies at any time:

Open cookie settings

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Cookiebot. This is a contract required under data protection law, which ensures that Cookiebot processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the technically fault-free display and optimisation of its website – to this end, the server log files must be recorded.

Enquiries via the contact form, email or telephone

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form – including the contact details you have entered there – will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will be retained by us until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, or until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analytics tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used and the user’s origin. This data is aggregated into a user ID and assigned to the website visitor’s respective device.

Furthermore, Google Analytics enables us, amongst other things, to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and employs machine learning technologies in its data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognised for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google regarding the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Further details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymisation

We have enabled the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.

Browser plug-in

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Google Signals

We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, amongst other things, your location, search history and YouTube history, as well as demographic data (visitor data). This data may be used for personalised advertising via Google Signals. If you have a Google account, the visitor data from Google Signals will be linked to your Google account and used for personalised advertising. The data is also used to compile anonymised statistics on our users’ behaviour.

Data processing on behalf of a client

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Retention period

Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. Further details can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme provided by Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display adverts in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when a user enters specific search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted adverts can be displayed based on user data held by Google (e.g. location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analysing which search terms led to our adverts being displayed and how many adverts resulted in corresponding clicks.

The use of Google Ads is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its services and products as effectively as possible.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Further details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads Remarketing enables us to assign people who interact with our online offering to specific target groups, so that we can subsequently display interest-based advertising to them on the Google Display Network (remarketing or retargeting).

Furthermore, the advertising audiences created using Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device features. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages – which have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) – can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can opt out of personalised advertising via the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

Use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can determine whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can analyse which buttons on our website are clicked and how often, and which products have been viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to compile conversion statistics. We are informed of the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and the actions they have carried out. We do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification purposes.

The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Where consent has been sought (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

6. Plugins and tools

Google Web Fonts (locally hosted)

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure a consistent display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection is made to Google’s servers.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In order to use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence over this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the purpose of ensuring consistent font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interests of presenting our online services in an appealing manner and ensuring that the locations specified on our website can be easily found. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where consent has been sought, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Further details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Push notifications from PushPanda.io

We use browser push notifications from PushPanda.io. Browser push notifications are messages that can be displayed on your device without you having to open the website or the relevant app.

No unique user data, such as IP addresses or similar, which could lead directly to the identification of the respective user, is stored in this process. When you subscribe (opt-in procedure) to the notification list, only an identification key and the user’s geographical IP information (country and federal state) are transmitted and stored in the PushPanda.io database. This key is assigned by the relevant browser manufacturer (Google, Mozilla, Apple, etc.) and enables notifications to be sent to the relevant browser at a later date. Notifications are sent directly via the browser manufacturers.

If the opt-in for push notifications is withdrawn (opt-out), all data stored by PushPanda.io will be deleted and the identification key will become invalid.

Information on opting out of push notifications can be found at www.pushpanda.io/de/links/abmeldung/. PushPanda.io is a service provided by Project K GmbH, based in Innsbruck, Austria.

Cooperation with data processors and third parties

Where, in the course of our data processing, we disclose data to other individuals or organisations (data processors or third parties), transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done solely on the basis of a legal authorisation (e.g. where the transfer of data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), you have given your consent, a legal obligation requires it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.). Where we engage third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called ‘data processing agreement’, this is done in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
