These data are stored for 4 months until their automatic deletion.

The processing serves the following purpose:

The temporary storage of the user’s IP address by the system is necessary in order to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s computer.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 Item f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in the above-mentioned purpose.

In order to make your visit to our website as pleasant as possible, we make use of the content delivery network of our hosting provider. A content delivery network (CDN) is a distributed network of servers with which static web contents (images, JavaScript, CSS files) can be efficiently transmitted to users and made available based on their region as quickly as possible, in order to minimise the loading times. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 Item f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in the above-mentioned purpose.

Data analysis / Matomo

Our website uses the open source software "Matomo" (https://matomo.org/) as a web analysis tool. This enables us to create an analysis of the use of the website. The purpose of this analysis is to improve the website for you by, among other things, detecting navigation problems in the website and adapting functions and offers according to your preferences.

Matomo sets the cookies listed. The data collected by the cookies is automatically anonymised immediately by shortening the IP address and thus making it impossible to trace it back to your end device or person.

In addition, the data is stored exclusively on our server and is not transmitted to other servers or third parties. The determination with immediate anonymisation of your data is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website.

Information on the rights of the data subjects

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, data subjects have the following rights:

Right to receive information

Each data subject has the right – after verifying its identity – to request information from ASFINAG as to whether its personal data is being processed. If this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to obtain further information on the purposes and legal basis of the processing, the categories of data concerning it, the data sources, the recipients of its data, the (non-)existence of an automated decision-making process including profiling, instructions regarding its rights and obligations, and a copy of the personal data.

Right to rectification and erasure

If the personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, the data subject may request the rectification, completion or erasure of data relating to it as part of the processing purposes, if necessary by means of a supplementary declaration. In particular, ASFINAG is obliged to erase personal data if the erasure is prescribed by law or if any existing consent for processing has been revoked, if there is no further legal basis for processing, or if personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it had originally been collected.

However, the right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation of ASFINAG or to perform a task that is in the public interest or that is performed in the exercise of official authority or is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject has the right to have the processing of its personal data restricted. One of the following conditions must be fulfilled for this:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period of time long enough to allow ASFINAG to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject rejects the deletion of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  • ASFINAG no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes and, at the same time, the data subject needs it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • If the data subject has objected to the processing, until it has been established whether the legitimate reasons of ASFINAG outweigh those of the data subject.

However, limited data may still be used to protect the rights of another person, for important public interest or to assert, exercise or defend ASFINAG's legal claims.

Right to data transferability

The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning it that it has provided to ASFINAG in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format or – if technically possible – to have such data transferred to another responsible party. However, this right only exists if the processing is based on the legal basis of a contract or the consent of the data subject.

Right to object

The data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning it on grounds relating to its particular situation. This right shall apply only if the processing

  • is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest, or
  • takes place in the exercise of official authority vested in ASFINAG, or
  • is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of ASFINAG or a third party.

ASFINAG will then no longer process the personal data unless it can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to object to direct marketing

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning said data subject for the purposes of such marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Right of appeal to the supervisory authority

Every data subject has the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, dsb@dsb.gv.at.
