Mailchimp

• Purpose: Mailing and Newsletter

• Address: Intuit Inc., 2700 Coast Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA

To do this, we pass on the following personal data to Mailchimp: email address, first name, last name. Mailchimp is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us when it comes to sending our newsletter. The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or contract. Without your consent and the transmission of your personal data, we cannot send a newsletter to you.

In addition, Mailchimp collects the following personal data using cookies and other tracking methods: information about your device (IP address, device information, operating system, browser ID, information about the application you use to read your emails and other information via hardware and internet connection. In addition, usage data is collected such as the date and time when you opened the email / campaign and browser activity (e.g. which emails / websites were opened). Mailchimp needs this data to ensure the security and reliability of the Systems to ensure compliance with the terms of use and the avoidance of misuse. This corresponds to the legitimate interest of Mailchimp (according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 point. f GDPR) and serves to implement the contract (according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 point b GDPR). Mailchimp also evaluates performance data, such as email delivery statistics and other communication data. This information is used to compile usage and performance statistics of the Services. Mailchimp additionally collects information about you from other sources. Within an unspecified period and scope, personal data is collected via social media and other third-party data providers. We have no influence on this process.
Further information on objection and removal options for Mailchimp can be found at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/#3._Privacy_for_Contacts

​

The legal basis for this processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. There is a corresponding link in all mailings. You can also revoke your consent using the contact options provided. Declaring your revocation will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that has taken place so far.

​

Your data will be processed as long as you have given your consent. Apart from that, these will be deleted after the contract between us and Mailchimp has ended, unless legal requirements require further storage. Mailchimp has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers. These apply to all global activities where Mailchimp processes personal data of individuals in the EU. These measures are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). For more information, see: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/

 

Data transfer to third countries

​

We only transfer or process data to countries outside the scope of the GDPR (third countries) if you consent to this processing or there is other legal permission. This applies in particular if the processing is required by law or necessary to fulfill a contractual relationship and in any case only to the extent that this is generally permitted. In most cases, your consent is the most important reason why we have data processed in third countries. Processing personal data in third countries such as the USA, where many software manufacturers provide services and have their server locations, may mean that personal data is processed and stored in unexpected ways.

We expressly point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently only an adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA if a US company that processes personal data of EU citizens in the USA is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can find more information about this at: https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en

Data processing by US services that are not active participants in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework may result in data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may have access to individual data. It can also happen that collected data is linked to data from other services from the same provider, provided you have a corresponding user account. If possible, we try to use server locations within the EU, if this is offered.
We will inform you in more detail about data transfer to third countries in the appropriate places in this data protection declaration, if this applies.

​

Legal bases for processing your personal data

The GDPR sets out a number of different reasons for which an organization may collect and process your personal data. We rely on the following legal bases:
Consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 point a GDPR)

• In specific situations, we will collect and process your information with your consent. We will always make it clear to you what you are consenting to and what information is necessary for which services.

Contractual obligations (Article 6 paragraph 1 point b GDPR)

• In certain circumstances, we need your information to carry out our contractual obligations.

Legal obligations (Article 6 paragraph 1 point c GDPR)

• If we are required to by law, we may need to collect and process your information.

Legitimate interests (Article 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR)

• In specific situations, we require your information to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which you might reasonably expect as part of running our business and providing the services of the Club, and which will not materially impact your rights, freedoms or interests.

In the case of special category data, we will seek your explicit consent in line with our obligations under the GDPR.

 

Data storage period

If no explicit storage period is stated during the collection (e.g. as part of a declaration of consent), we are obliged in accordance with Art. 5 Paragraph 1 point e GDPR to delete personal data as soon as the purpose for processing has been fulfilled.  We generally store data in personal form until the end of a business relationship or until the expiry of applicable guarantee, warranty or limitation periods, beyond that until the end of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence, or in any case until the expiry of the stored and stored for three years after the last contact with a business partner.

 

Your rights

You are generally entitled to the rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or 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 websites you can find at https://www.dsb.gv.at/.
