General information and mandatory information

Data protection

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

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Note on Data Transmission over the Internet

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. A simple informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to File Complaints with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of data protection violations, the data subject has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority (www.dsb.gv.at).

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Blocking, Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have the right to correct, block, or delete these data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

Data collection on our website

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

Social media

Facebook plugins (like & share buttons)

Our website includes plugins for the social network Facebook,

Facebook Inc.

1 Hacker Way

Menlo Park, California 94025, USA

The Facebook plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the Like button on our site.
For an overview of Facebook plugins, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. This enables Facebook to receive information that you have visited our site from your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like button” while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our site to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate visits to our site with your user account. Please note that, as the operator of this site, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Facebook or of how Facebook uses these data.
For more information, please see Facebook’s privacy policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.

Twitter plugins

Functions of the Twitter service have been integrated into our website and app. These features are offered by

Twitter Inc.

1355 Market Street, Suite 900

San Francisco, CA 94103, USA

When you use Twitter and the “Retweet” function, the websites you visit are connected to your Twitter account and made known to other users. In doing so, data will also be transferred to Twitter. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by Twitter.
For more information on Twitter’s privacy policy, please go to https://twitter.com/privacy

Your privacy preferences with Twitter can be modified in your account settings at https://twitter.com/account/settings

Linked plugins

Our site uses functions from the LinkedIn network. The service is provided by

LinkedIn Corporation

2029 Stierlin Court

Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn features is accessed, your browser establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our web pages from your IP address. If you use the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website to your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by LinkedIn.

More information can be found in the LinkedIn privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Analytics and advertisement

Google Adwords and Google conversion tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from

Google Inc.

1600 Amphitheater Parkway

Mountain View, CA 94043, United States

This feature makes it possible to link target audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

Plugins and tools

Youtube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is

YouTube LLC

901 Cherry Ave.

San Bruno, CA 94066, USA

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Google web fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

When you call up a page of our website that contains a social plugin, your browser makes a direct connection with Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Google maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by

Google Inc.

1600 Amphitheatre Parkway

Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of Google at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies that allow an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated about your use of this website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our website and to regularly improve it. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and apply the EU Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via our consent management tool.

Zoho

We use various services provided by Zoho Corporation B.V. (Netherlands) and Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd. (India), including Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, Zoho Campaigns, Zoho Forms, Zoho Recruit, and Zoho Books. In the context of these services, personal data such as name, email address, phone number, communication content, usage data, and, where applicable, payment and billing information may be processed.
The processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) in the efficient management of our business processes, customer and user support, as well as marketing activities, or on your consent where required.
Zoho may also process data outside the EU. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Zoho and apply appropriate safeguards (including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Live chat

Live Chat Inc.

Boston, MA 02110-2619, USA

Live Chat Inc. is registered with Safe Harbor and is subject to the terms of this agreement. For more information about LiveChat’s privacy policy, please visit https://www.livechatinc.com/privacy-policy/

When Live Chat is invoked, Live Chat temporarily collects the IP address at the beginning to identify the country from which the live chat started.

If you do not wish to submit data to LiveChat, you can prevent cookies from being set by LiveChat by setting them in your browser.

You will also be deleted, after your request has been completed.

In addition, we delete the communication when your request has been handled safely.

Protection your personal data

Protecting your personal data is a top priority for us. When processing your data, we strictly comply with the applicable legal provisions, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telecommunications Act 2003 (TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we would like to provide you with the most important information on data processing in the context of our application process.

Purposes and legal basis for data processing

The data is stored in our applicant tracking system (ATS) for the purpose of processing your application. In addition, only employees involved in the application process are authorized to access your personal data to ensure the confidentiality of your data. Furthermore, these employees have been expressly obligated to maintain confidentiality.

By submitting your application documents, you consent to the processing of personal data such as name, title, address, telephone number, date of birth, education, work experience, salary requirements, and all data and images contained in your cover letter, resume, references, or other documents submitted. This data is stored in our applicant tracking system. In the case of unsolicited applications, we assume that you wish to be included in our applicant database and that you consent to being kept on record.

We process your data based on the following provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

On the one hand, due to the necessity of pre-contractual measures (in connection with the processing of your application prior to a possible employment) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit b EU-DSGVO.
In addition, we use your data to protect our legitimate interests (such as the retention of unsolicited applications, data retention in our company, and the exercise or defense of legal claims) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit f EU-DSGVO.
In addition, we process your data to fulfill legal obligations (to which ByteSource Technology Consulting GmbH is subject) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit c EU-DSGVO.
Finally, we process your data based on your consent (regarding retention) pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit a EU-DSGVO.

Retention period and deletion period

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the respective purposes, namely conducting the application process and selecting applicants. It should be noted, however, that different national statutes of limitation or retention requirements may apply. Please note that in certain cases, such as under § 1163 in conjunction with § 1478 of the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB), there is a retention period of up to 30 years. If your application is rejected, your application documents including personal data could also be stored for a period of up to seven months after the rejection. In these and other cases (e.g., keeping records of unsolicited applications), we may also store your data beyond the period of the intended use.

Data transfer to third parties

Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

Your rights

You are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority, whose website can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/
