3. Data processing of visitors to our website

When visiting our website, our web servers do not store any of your personal information without your express consent. However, the temporary storage of cookies enables a better use of our website, which is why you are asked for your consent. Nonetheless, you are not obliged to provide your consent and can use the website without providing it - although under possible limitations.

Should you provide your express consent to the storage and use of log files and the use of cookies, our web servers temporarily store each access in a log file. The following data is collected and stored here:

 In this context, we point out that an analysis of the IP address only takes place upon attacks to our network infrastructure.

Without your consent, data which has been stored upon access to our Internet offerings will only be transferred to third parties to the extent we are obliged to do so for legal reasons or due to a court ruling or where the transfer of such data is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the case of attacks of our Internet infrastructure. A transfer for other non-commercial or commercial purposes will not take place.

We do not carry out all processing activities ourselves with regards to stored log files, but also rely on the support of carefully selected and reliable partners (=processor), namely [ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich]. These also ensure the security of your data through appropriate and state-of-the-art technical and organisational measures. Our partners are not permitted to use the personal data provided for purposes other than those intended.

The storage duration of the collected data is 190 days.

4. Cookies

If you have provided your express consent to the storage and use of log files and the use of cookies upon accessing our website, our website will use cookies in several areas of our website. They serve to make our offerings more user-friendly and effective. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer by your browser.

5. Use of Google Analytics:

If you have provided your express consent to the storage and use of log files and use of cookies when accessing our website, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc.

Google Analytics also uses cookies, i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (included your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, in the case of the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, the IP address of Google users will be truncated within the member states of the European Union or with users from other contracting states of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. IP anonymisation is active on this website.

Google uses this information to assess your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operator and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet. Google will also transfer this information to third parties, where necessary, provided this is prescribed by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. In no case will Google associate your IP address with other data which is stored by Google.

You can also prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. Furthermore, you can also prevent the collection of data received and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the corresponding browser plugin under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7124332?hl=de
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/

The provision of the log files or the use of cookies is neither legally nor contractually required and is not required for the conclusion of a contract. There is therefore no obligation to provide this data, use cookies or allow their use. The only legal basis for the use of log files and the use of cookies is the consent you have issued (Art 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR). If consent is not granted, the use of log files and cookies is prohibited.

6. Use of Facebook

Plugins of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, are integrated on our website. You can recognise the Facebook plugin on our website by the Facebook logo or the 'Like' button. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugin here:  https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

If you have granted your express consent for the storage and use of log files and cookies when accessing our website, a direct connection will be made by the plugin between your browser and the Facebook server. Through this, Facebook receives the information that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click on the Facebook 'Like' button while you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can link the content on our website to your Facebook profile. Through this, Facebook can assign the visit of our website to your user account. We point out that we as the provider of the website are not aware of the content of the data transmitted nor its use by Facebook. You can find further information in Facebook's data protection declaration under https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you don't want Facebook to be able to assign your visit of our website to your Facebook user account, please log out of it.

7. Data processing of subscribers to our newsletter

Should you grant your express consent to receive the newsletter, then we may send you an electronic newsletter for advertising purposes with content of a commercial type. The data provided when signing up for the newsletter will only be used for the purposes of sending such. You can terminate your subscription to the newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or under https://seu.cleverreach.com/f/17925-130456/wwu/. The data collected from you for this purpose (email address and optionally first name and surname) is stored by us for the time period in which you receive the newsletter and have not declared the withdrawal of your consent for receiving such.

Our newsletter is not sent by ourselves, but by our partner (=processor) [CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG]. It also ensures the security of your data through appropriate and state-of-the-art technical and organisational measures. Our partner is not permitted to use the personal data provided for purposes other than those intended.

The provision of the data for receiving the newsletter is neither legally nor contractually required and is not required for the conclusion of a contract. There is therefore not obligation to provide this data or your consent to receive the newsletter. The only legal basis for receiving the newsletter is the granted consent (Art 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR). If consent is not granted, the newsletter will not be sent.

8. Flight schedule subscription

If you have granted your consent via the form on the website to receive the printed flight schedule per post, we can send you the flight schedule biannually when it starts. The data provided when signing up for the flight schedule will only be used for the purposes of sending such. You can end your flight schedule subscription at any time by sending an email to marketing@remove-this.flughafen-graz.at or calling +43 (316) 2902 0. The data collected from you for this purpose is stored by us for the time period in which you receive the flight schedule and have not declared the withdrawal of your consent for receiving such.

We do not send out the flight plan ourselves, as this is done by our partner (=processor) via e.g. a mailing service. It also ensures the security of your data through appropriate and state-of-the-art technical and organisational measures. Our partners are not permitted to use the personal data provided for purposes other than those intended.

9. Data collection according to the Flugabgabegesetz

Pursuant to the federal law introducing flight tax (Flugabgabebesetz) Sec. 10 para. 3 and 4, the aircraft operator is required to report the data summarised for the month to both the tax office and the airport operator. This notification is to be made by the aircraft operator by the 15th of the month following the month in which the tax liability arose, to the operator of the domestic airport from which the relevant flights departed in the relevant month.

Graz Airport provides a web portal to keep the effort required by the airlines and aircraft operators minimal. The data collected in this way is done  pursuant to the applicable legal provisions and the principles for the GDPR.

10. Links to other providers

Our websites may contain links to other providers and links to our social media offerings. This data protection information applies for websites and services that belong to us and are operated by us. We have no influence on external links included in our services. We bear no responsibility for whether these providers or social media platform operators comply with the legal data protection regulations.

11. Competitions

Any competitions are carried out by Flughafen Graz Betriebs GmbH either as part of a promotional event (trade fairs, events, etc.) or online. Online means that the competition is communicated on the Graz Airport website or Facebook page and participation takes place via email. In both cases, an email address and/or telephone number will be recorded for contacting in the case of winning, as well as - on a voluntary basis - first name and last name for the purpose of personal salutation. Registration for the newsletter will be offered in the competition as a voluntary option. The data (email address and/or telephone number, if necessary first name and surname) are processed internally within Flughafen Graz Betriebs GmbH for the purpose of determining a winner. Until the withdrawal of consent, only the winner's data will be stored for the purpose of prize notification, as well as the data of those who have consented to receive the newsletter and will receive such until said consent is withdrawn. Consent to data processing granted in the conditions of participation can be withdrawn at any time via email to marketing@remove-this.flughafen-graz.at.

12. Technical data protection

We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data processed by us against random or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

13. Integration of services and contents of third parties

It may be that contents of third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps or graphics from other websites are integrated within our Internet offerings. This always presupposes that the providers of such content always use the user's IP address, as without the IP address they can't send the content to the relevant user's browser. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to only use such content where the relevant operator only uses the IP address to deliver the content. However, we do not have any influence on the third party storing the IP address, for statistical purposes, for example. As far as we know this to be the case, we will inform the user accordingly. In any case, agreements on data processing pursuant to the GDPR have been made with all third parties.

If necessary, data processing beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract may be carried out within the framework of balancing interests in favour of Flughafen Graz Betriebs GmbH or a data processor in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or data processors. In the following cases, data processing is carried out to protect legitimate interests:

You have the right to object to this processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons by writing to Flughafen Graz Betriebs GmbH, 8073 Feldkirchen or emailing datenschutz@remove-this.flughafen-graz.at. If you exercise your right to object to data processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

  • For other forms of direct marketing, we will only process your data if you have given your express consent to the processing of your data (point (a) of Art. 6°(1) GDPR). If you have consented to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time without giving reasons by writing to Flughafen Graz Betriebs GmbH, 8073 Feldkirchen or emailing datenschutz@remove-this.flughafen-graz.at. The processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising is not necessary for the processing of our contractual relationship.


Recipients of your data

Your data will be disclosed to those offices or employees who need it to fulfil contractual and legal obligations as well as legitimate interests. In addition, contract processors and other recipients commissioned by us: in particular companies based in the EU such as IT, cloud and telecommunications service providers, printing, scanning and data destruction service providers, external auditors and experts, audit offices, arbitration bodies and authorities (including courts or state government and funding authorities), auditors and tax consultants, insurance companies, debt collection service providers and credit agencies, consulting companies, back-office service providers, lawyers and companies within the Holding Graz - Kommunale Dienstleistungen GmbH group (see the holding's current organisation chart on the website www.holding-graz.at) receive your data, insofar as they require the data for the fulfilment of their respective service. All contract processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process it only within the scope of the service provision.
Since various recipients and processors change on a regular basis, it is not possible to name them specifically.

Storage period of your data:

We process your personal data, as far as necessary, for the duration of the entire business relationship as well as beyond that for the duration of legal storage and documentation periods, in particular the Federal Tax Code (BAO).

According to Art. 207°(2) in conjunction with point (a) of Art. 208°(1) BAO, duties become statute-barred after ten years with the expiry of the year in which the duty claim arose. According to Art. 132 BAO, books, records and receipts relevant to tax law must be kept for seven years. Therefore, your data will generally be deleted after ten years from the termination of our contractual relationship.

Longer storage can take place beyond that in the event of the controller or data subject's legitimate interests. A legitimate interest may exist in particular for the enforcement or defence of legal claims, in the case of a pending legal dispute, a legally binding execution title (which has not been fulfilled yet) or in the case of unfulfilled outstanding claims and similar circumstances (up to 30 years).


15. Data processing by video surveillance at Graz Airport

We use video surveillance to ensure the safety of passengers, employees and other persons present at the airport and to protect the property and infrastructure of Graz Airport from danger, damage, burglary, theft and other damaging behaviour. Video surveillance also serves to provide evidence of possible criminal offences and to protect passengers' property during security checks. Only those areas are monitored whose surveillance is relevant to safety.

The legal basis for data processing is the protection of our legitimate interest according to point (f) of Art 6°(1) GDPR and Art. 12 DSG.

Recipients of your data:

The stored video recording shall be disclosed exclusively due to a written decision by the public prosecutor's office.

•    Competent authority or competent court (for securing evidence in criminal cases)

The scope and specific purpose of the data processing results from the individual content of the service contracts. If business partners do not want to provide the data, the conclusion of the contract or execution of the order may be impossible under certain circumstances. An existing contract can no longer be performed under these circumstances and may have to be terminated.
