Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of STK engineering. In principle, it is possible to use the STK engineering website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to STK engineering. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about the rights to which they are entitled by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, STK engineering has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

STK engineering’s privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms in this Privacy Policy, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as „data subject“). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data Subject
Data Subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the Data Controller.
(c) processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination: restriction, deletion or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
(e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse aspects relating to that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movement of that natural person, or Predict.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not used by an identified or identifiable person. natural person.
g) The controller
Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
(i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
j) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
k) Consent

E-mail: office@stk-engineering.at
Website: www.stk-engineering.at

3. Cookies

The STK engineering website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, STK engineering can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The STK engineering website collects a series of general data and information every time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, STK engineering does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by STK engineering on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

6. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of access
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to obtain information from the controller at any time, free of charge, about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. In addition, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data that are processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations
if possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning him/her or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: all available information on the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject
In addition, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the rectification without undue delay of inaccurate personal data concerning him/her. In addition, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement, taking into account the purposes of the processing. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws his or her consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by STK engineering, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of STK engineering will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately. If the personal data has been made public by STK engineering and our company as the controller is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 (1) GDPR, STK engineering shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data: inform that the data subject has requested from such other data controllers the deletion of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data, to the extent that the processing is not necessary. The STK engineering employee will arrange for the necessary measures to be taken on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.
If one of the above-mentioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by STK engineering, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of STK engineering will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him/her, which have been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. It also has the right to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and that the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, when exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of STK engineering at any time.
g) Right to object
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.In the event of an objection, STK engineering will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. in order to engage in direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes vis-à-vis STK engineering, STK engineering will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out by STK engineering for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of STK engineering or any other employee directly. Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject shall also be free to exercise his or her right to object in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated decision-making on a case-by-case basis, including profiling
Every person affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him/her, provided that the decision (1) does not apply to the is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is carried out with the explicit consent of the data subject. If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, STK engineering shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express one’s own point of view and to challenge the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise rights in relation to automated decision-making, he/she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise his/her right to withdraw consent, he/she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

7. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

8. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I (b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

9. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

10. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

11. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

12. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
