Personal data

We, Weingut Poys, are the owners of the top-level domain www.poys.at and collect, process and use your personal data only with your consent, in the context of contract performance or to achieve the agreed purposes or if there is another legal basis in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO); this in compliance with data protection and civil law provisions.

Only such personal data is collected that is necessary for the implementation and processing of your reservation or user account registration and your order, for contacting you via the contact form, sending our newsletter and for detecting and combating fraud and other illegal activities and data that you have voluntarily provided to us. For more information on our data processing activities, please see below.

Personal data is any data that contains individual information about personal or factual circumstances. This includes the following personal data processed by us: name, account name, account password, IP address, social media data, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender or payment information (bank account data, credit card data, etc.).

Information and deletion

As a data subject, you have the right to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing at any time, as well as a right to rectification, data transfer, objection, restriction of processing and blocking or deletion of incorrect or inadmissibly processed data.

If there are changes to your personal data, we request that you inform us accordingly.

You have the right to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Your request for information, deletion, correction, objection and / or data transfer, in the latter case, provided that this does not cause a disproportionate effort, can be directed to the address provided by us or by e-mail.

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates applicable data protection law or that your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you have the option of complaining to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, the data protection authority is responsible for this (www.dsb.gv.at, T: +43 1 521 52 0, M: dsb@dsb.gv.at). Please still contact us in advance – we assume that we can answer your questions directly in most cases.

Data security

Your personal data is protected by appropriate organisational and technical precautions. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorised, illegal or accidental access, processing, loss, use and manipulation (e.g. firewalls, data encryption, physical access restrictions for our data centres, authorisation controls for data access, etc.).

Notwithstanding our efforts to maintain a reasonably high level of due diligence at all times, we cannot rule out that information you disclose to us over the internet may be viewed and used by others.

Please note that we therefore accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to errors in data transmission not caused by us and / or unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. hacking attack on e-mail account or telephone).

Data processing

We will not process the data provided to us for purposes other than those covered by our contractual relationship with you or by your consent or otherwise by a provision in accordance with the GDPR. This excludes the use for statistical purposes, provided that the data provided has been anonymised.

Transfer of data to third parties

In order to fulfill the agreed purpose, in particular to fulfill your order based on your prior consent, it may also be necessary to forward your data to third parties (e.g. carriers, insurance companies, public authorities, service providers, in particular IT and payment service providers that we use and to whom we provide data, etc.). Your data will only be forwarded on the basis of the DSGVO. We limit the amount of personal data we share to what is directly relevant and necessary to achieve the relevant purpose.

Some of the recipients of your personal data mentioned above are located outside of your country or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in Austria. If we need to transfer your personal data to countries for which the EU Commission has not decided that they have an adequate level of data protection, we take measures to ensure that all recipients have an adequate level of data protection; for this purpose, we conclude standard contractual clauses (2010/87/EC and/or 2004/915/EC).

Disclosure of data breaches

We strive to ensure that data breaches are identified at an early stage and, where appropriate, reported to you or the relevant supervisory authority without delay, including the relevant categories of data involved.

Retention of data

We will not retain data for longer than is necessary to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations and to defend and enforce claims.
