Data protection

This website is operated by RELIEFGOODS.AT, hereinafter “we”, “us”, based in LINZ (see imprint). In this data protection declaration, we, as the person responsible in accordance with Article 4 Paragraph 7 of the EU GDPR, describe what data we collect when you visit our website and for what purpose we process it. Please find all relevant contact details at the beginning of the page.

Since the protection of your personal data is particularly important to us, we strictly adhere to the legal requirements of the DSG and the EU GDPR when collecting and processing your personal data. Below we will inform you in detail about the scope and purpose of our data processing as well as your rights as a data subject. Please read our data protection declaration carefully before you continue to use our website and, if necessary, give your consent to data processing.

 

Personal Data

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. However, there may be different regulations for the use of individual services, which we will point out to you separately.
So - apart from the cookies described in detail below - we only collect and store the data that you provide to us by inserting it into our input masks or by actively interacting with our website in some other way.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth, but also your IP address or geolocation data that allows conclusions to be drawn about you.

 

Use of cookies

a. If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register for a service or otherwise provide us with information - for example via a contact form - we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you would like to visit our website, we may collect the data listed below that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you and to ensure its stability and security in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f EU GDPR to ensure:

IP address

Date and time of the request

Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Content of the request

Access status / http status code

Amount of data transferred in each case

Website from which the request comes

Browser used

Operating system and its interface

Language and version of the browser software

b. In addition to the data mentioned above, it may be that when you use our website, first and third-party cookies are stored on your computer; These are small text files that are stored on your hard drive associated with the browser you use. The entity that sets a cookie (here this is done by us and the third parties listed below) receives certain information. We need these cookies on the one hand to recognize you as a user of the website and on the other hand to be able to understand the use of our services. Finally, we may use cookies for marketing purposes to analyze your usage behavior and, if necessary, to send you targeted advertising.
A basic distinction can be made between first-party cookies, third-party cookies and third-party requests.

 

First party cookies
First party cookies are stored in your browser by us or our website itself in order to offer you the best possible user experience. These are in particular functional cookies, such as shopping cart cookies.

​

Third party cookies
Third party cookies are stored in your browser by a third party. These are mostly tracking or marketing tools that, on the one hand, evaluate your user behavior and, on the other hand, offer the third-party provider the opportunity to recognize you on other websites you visit. Basically, retarget marketing, for example, is based on the function of such cookies.

 

Third Party Requests
Third-party requests are all requests that you as a site user make to third parties via our site - for example, if you use social network plugins or use the offer of a payment provider. In this case, no cookies will be stored in your browser, but it cannot be ruled out that personal data will be sent to this third party through the interaction. For this reason, we also inform you in detail about the tools and applications we use in our data protection declaration.

​

c. Our website(s) use the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:

 

Transient cookies
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include, in particular, session cookies, which store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. These session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

​

Persistent cookies - (not used on this site)
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. However, you can delete the cookies yourself at any time in your browser settings.

d. It is possible for you to change your browser settings so that, for example, you can refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. In this case, however, we must point out that you may no longer be able to use all of the functions of our website.

​

 

Collection and processing of personal data

Personal data that goes beyond the information stored by cookies will only be processed by us if you voluntarily provide them to us, for example when you register with us, enter into a contractual relationship with us or otherwise contact us. This only concerns contact details and information about the concerns with which you approach us.
We only use the personal data you provide to the extent necessary to fulfill the respective purpose of processing (e.g. registration, sending newsletters, processing an order, sending information material and advertising, running a competition, etc.). Answering a question, enabling access to certain information) is necessary and this is permitted by law (in particular in accordance with Article 6 EU GDPR) (e.g. sending advertising and information material to existing customers).
The purpose of processing your data is to operate our website and to provide targeted company-specific information, including the presentation of our range of goods and services (marketing). Any further use of your data will only take place to the extent that you have previously expressly consented. You can revoke your consent at any time in the future, as explained in detail below.

 

Storage period

We generally store data that you have provided to us exclusively for customer service or for marketing and information purposes until three years after our last contact. However, if you wish, we will delete your data before this period expires, provided there is no legal obstacle to this.
If a contract is initiated or concluded, we will process your personal data after the contract has been fully processed until the expiry of the guarantee, warranty, limitation and statutory retention periods applicable to us, and beyond that until the end of any legal disputes in which the data are needed as evidence.

 

Use of the inquiry form

When you send a request via the form, personal data is saved. By submitting the inquiry form, the user agrees to the processing and storage of his/her data.

Data transmission

In principle, your data will not be transferred to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, the data transfer is necessary to carry out a contractual relationship concluded between us or you have previously expressly consented to the transfer of your data. External processors or other cooperation partners will only receive your data if this is necessary to process the contract or if we have a legitimate interest in it, which we always announce separately if necessary. If one of our processors comes into contact with your personal data, we ensure that they comply with the provisions of data protection laws in the same way as we do. We will not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties outside the group. If our contractual partners or processors are based in a third country, i.e. a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you about the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.
