Data protection statement

Data Protection Declaration (DSGVO)

1. Personal data

We, FloorBridge International GmbH, in compliance with data protection and civil law provisions, collect, process and use your personal data exclusively after obtaining your express consent and/or being commissioned by you, within the scope of an existing contractual relationship or a contract to be concluded with you for agreed purposes or in the case of any other legal basis in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We only collect personal data which is necessary for the execution and processing of our services or which you have made available to us on a voluntary basis.

Personal data means all data containing individual references to personal or factual circumstances such as name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, social security number, video footage, photos, etc. Sensitive data, such as health data, may also be included.

2. Information and deletion

As a data subject, you are entitled to access your stored personal data and obtain information on its origin, the recipients and the purpose of data processing, you have the right to have your personal data corrected and transmitted, you may object to or restrict data processing, and you are entitled to block or delete inaccurate or unlawfully processed data at any time.

Please inform us of any changes to your personal data.

You have the right to withdraw your consent for the use of your personal data at any time. Requests regarding information, deletion, correction, objection and/or data transmission, provided that this does not involve a disproportionate effort in the latter case, can be sent to our company to the address indicated at the end of this data protection statement.

If you suspect that your personal data is being processed in violation of applicable legal regulations or your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the competent authority is the data protection authority.

3. Data security

The protection of your personal data is ensured by appropriate organisational and technical measures. These measures concern, in particular, protection against unauthorised, unlawful or even accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation. Notwithstanding our efforts to maintain a consistently high level of due diligence, it cannot be ruled out that the information you have made available to us over the internet may be viewed and used by third parties.

Please note that we therefore accept no liability of any kind for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission and/or unauthorized access by third parties which we are not responsible for (e.g. hacking of email accounts or telephone lines, interception of fax messages).

4. Use of data

We shall not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by the contractual relationship, the consent you have given or by a provision in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This does not apply to the use of data for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been rendered anonymous.

In order to fulfil the contractual relationship, we may also be required to pass on your data to third parties, courts or authorities. Your data will be transmitted exclusively on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), specifically in order to fulfil the contractual relationship or on the basis of your prior consent.

Some of the aforementioned recipients of your personal data are located outside your country or process your personal data there. The level of protection of personal data in other countries may not be the same as in Austria. However, we shall only transfer your personal data to countries with a level of protection that the European Commission has deemed adequate, or we will take measures to ensure that all recipients enjoy an adequate level of data protection by including standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).

6. Notification of personal data breaches

We make every effort to ensure that data breaches are detected at an early stage and, if applicable, reported immediately to you or the responsible supervisory authority, including information on the respective data categories that are affected.

A cookie is a small text file that we transmit to your browser’s cookie file on your computer’s hard drive via our web server. This enables our website to recognize you as a user whenever a connection is established between our web server and your browser. Cookies help us to determine the number of visits to, and users of, our website. The content of the cookies we use is limited to an identification number that precludes the personal identification of users. The primary purpose of cookies is to recognize repeat visitors of a website.

Two types of cookies are used on this website:

Session cookies: These are temporary cookies which remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave our website and are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether the data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place.

13. YouTube with expanded data protection integration

This website integrates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of these websites on which YouTube is integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads that are played in extended data protection mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which contain personal data similar to cookies and can be used for recognition. Details on the extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and TKG 2021, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TKG 2021. This consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information on how YouTube handles user data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

14. Google AdWords

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online promotional program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites, if the user enters certain search terms into Google (keyword targeting). It is also possible to place targeted ads based on the user data Google has in its possession (e.g., location data and interests; target group targeting). As the website operator, we can analyze these data quantitatively, for instance by analyzing which search terms resulted in the display of our ads and how many ads led to respective clicks.

The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 165 (3) TKG 2021. You may revoke your consent at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/controllerterms/.
