General Terms and Conditions for Order Processing

If we process your personal data when providing the service, our General Terms and Conditions for Order Processing apply.General Terms and Conditions for Order Processing.

 

Use of the website

It is generally possible to use our website without providing personal data. Your IP address is stored or processed in anonymised form. If further personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, i.e. with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

Our concern in terms of the GDPR is the improvement of our offer and our website. As the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymised.

Access data

If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not provide us with any other information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • Our visited website

  • Date and time at the time of access

  • Amount of data sent in bytes

  • Source/reference from which you reached the page

  • Browser used

  • Operating system used

  • IP address used (in anonymised form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 45 days and then deleted. If data must be stored beyond this period due to legal retention obligations, it is excluded from deletion for this period.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Making contact

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. by email). This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

What rights you have to your data

You have the right to information, correction, deletion or restriction as well as a right to data portability in accordance with the requirements of data protection law. Complaints can be addressed to the responsible data protection authority (https://www.dsb.gv.at).

In addition, you have the right to revoke your consent to data processing in writing to datenschutz(at)world-direct.at. This does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Where we send your data

We do not pass on your personal data that you send us when you contact us, including your address and e-mail address, to third parties without your express consent, which you can revoke at any time. Exceptions to this are our service partners who require the transmission of data in order to provide their services (e.g. the shipping company commissioned with the delivery and our partner companies). In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the necessary minimum in line with the basic principle of data minimisation.

Is data transferred to a third country or to an international organisation?

Data is only transferred to third countries (countries outside the European Union - EU or the European Economic Area - EEA) if this is necessary to fulfil your orders, is required by law, if you have given us your consent or if one of the exceptions in Article 44 et seq. of the GDPR is fulfilled. In addition, it is ensured that an adequate level of protection is guaranteed in individual cases, for example through further security measures.

Newsletter subscription

We offer you a newsletter in which we inform you about current events and offers. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide a valid e-mail address. By subscribing to the newsletter, you agree to receive the newsletter.

Information about the data protection provisions of the mailing service providercan be found here (www.eworx.at/datenschutzerklaerung).

Personal data is collected, stored, processed and used to send the newsletter, insofar as this is necessary for sending the newsletter.

Revocation and cancellation: You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus cancel your newsletter subscription. You will find the cancellation link at the end of each newsletter. This does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until cancellation.
