Transmittal of personal data to third parties and/or to foreign countries

Your data are not generally transmitted to third parties and/or to foreign countries. Should transmittal of data to a foreign country or to third parties be provided for or required, you will be separately informed of this in connection with the particular processing of your data.

Your data are basically only stored for as long as they are required or statutorily allowed in connection with the particular processing. On the particular storage period you will be informed separately in connection with the data processing in question.

Information about your rights

Right to information

You may demand information from AIT whether and, if so, which of your personal data and within what scope your personal data are processed.

Right to correction

If your data are processed by us incompletely or incorrectly, then you are at any time entitled to demand correction and/or supplementation (taking the particular processing purposes into account).

Right to deletion

You may demand deletion of your personal data from AIT if

  • they are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected,
  • you have revoked your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing, or
  • they were processed illegally, or
  • their deletion is necessary to meet a legal obligation.

Please note that there may also be reasons preventing immediate deletion, such as:

  • Fulfilment of a legal obligation or performance of a task lying in the public interest,
  • Statutorily regulated archiving purposes lying in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, or
  • The assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Withdrawal right

If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent in writing at any time. The contact details for the withdrawal of your consent can be found within the information on data protection in connection with the data processing in question. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before the withdrawal.

Right to restriction of processing

You may demand restriction of processing your personal data if

  • you dispute the correctness of the data and, more specifically, for the period of time making it possible to test the correctness of the data;
  • the processing of the data occurred illegally, but you reject deletion and instead demand a restriction on use of the data;
  • the data are no longer needed for the intended purpose, but you still need the data for assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  • you have filed objection to processing of the data as long as it has not been established whether our legitimate interest in processing outweighs other considerations.

Right to data portability

You may demand from AIT that the data you provided are made available to you in a structured, conventional and machine readable format, provided

  • such data are being processed on the basis of consent given by you and revocable by you, and
  • such processing occurs with the aid of automated processes.

This right does not apply to any processing for the exercise of a task which lies in the public interest.

Right to object

You may, for reasons emerging from your own peculiar situation, at any time file an objection against the processing of personal data relating to you, provided

  • the processing is required to defend the legitimate rights of AIT or rather a third party
  • or required for performance of a task lying in the public interest,
  • the processing is being done for scientific or historical research purposes or rather for statistical purposes, unless the processing is required in fulfilment of a task lying in the public interest.

After such an objection, your data will not be processed any further unless there are compelling protectable reasons for their processing which outweigh your rights and freedoms or if processing is necessary for assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right of appeal

If you are of the opinion that AIT is breaching Austrian or European data protection law in processing your data, we request you to contact us in order to quickly clear up any eventual issues. Of course, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian data protection authority or any competent public authority within the EU.

Availing of your rights

If you wish to avail yourself of any of the above rights, please contact us.

In the course of asserting your rights, it is possible that we have to require additional information to confirm your identity (e.g. official ID). This serves exclusively for your protection so that it can be excluded that third parties receive information about your data without authorisation.

AIT endeavours to react to all of your legitimate queries as quickly as possible and in accordance with statutory regulations and deadlines.

controlinroad.org reserves the right to undertake at any time amendments or supplements to this declaration. Such amendments and supplements will be brought to your notice in this place.
