Each time you contact us via a contact form or by sending us an email, the data you provide (for instance, your email address, name, telephone number, address and any other information you provide) will be stored by us for the purpose of processing and answering your questions.

Data processing when establishing contact with us is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR based on your consent, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on overriding legitimate interests in processing and responding to user requests.

c. Using our MACO Partner Portal and the online services offered on it

Should you wish to use our Partner Portal, you must register by entering your email address and a password of your choosing. Such data are stored on servers located within the European Union using the Azure Cloud of the Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. We use what is known as double-opt-in for the registration process, i.e. your registration is only complete once you have confirmed your registration by entering a code sent to you in advance by email. The provision of the aforementioned data is necessary for use of the customer portal. Upon completion of the double opt-in procedure, further personal data (such as title, first name, surname, desired language of communication and details of the company you work for) are requested to identify you clearly as a B2B user and not as a consumer within the meaning of the applicable consumer protection laws. Further, we need this information to be able to offer you online services that are adapted to meet your market needs and provided in your desired language. All these data are stored in our CRM system, which is hosted in our in-house data centre within the European Union.

Using our customer portal, you can view your master data that we have stored about you at any time and have it modified and amended upon request. We use this data for the management of customer data, for granting personal authorisation for online services and for personalised direct advertising. Furthermore, you can subscribe to the MACO newsletter and specify subjects of particular interest to you. When making a booking request for an online service, you give your consent to our Terms of Use and General Terms and Conditions. We record the date on which you give your consent so as to inform you of any updates to the Terms of Use and General Terms and Conditions. In addition, we record the date on which you were granted authorisation for the online service and, in the case of the booking of an online service subject to payment of a fee, your service-related data are linked to the company data assigned to you for the purpose of processing the transaction, which you provided during user registration. We also use this data for the purpose of managing customer data and for personalised direct advertising, such as newsletters.

Please refer to section 3. d of this Privacy Policy for more information on data protection when making use of the newsletter service.

Information that you make available in the MACO Partner Portal may be linked in a customer profile to other information we have stored about you. In doing so, we adhere to and observe the principle of purpose limitation and only link data collected for the same purposes (e.g. for personalised advertising). MACO may provide information from your customer profile to suppliers or service providers if you have given your consent, which can be revoked at any time, to such a transfer or if the transfer is absolutely necessary to process your inquiry. MACO will only disclose and pass on your data to the extent necessary. Third parties are required to provide adequate protection for your data and use it in accordance with the law.

The legal basis for the processing of your data when using the MACO Partner Portal are Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (if and to the extent you give your consent) and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (fulfilment of a contract or implementation of pre-contractual measures when booking online services). You are under neither a legal nor a contractual obligation to provide information. However, use of the Partner Portal is only possible if you provide the mandatory information mentioned above.

d. Subscribing to our newsletter

You can subscribe to our newsletter in our Partner Portal (see section c) in order to receive information about all of the latest products and services as well as technical information from MACO.

We have previously checked your email address using the so-called double-opt-in procedure for the purpose of the newsletter subscription. By checking the box for newsletter subscription and submitting the form in the MACO Partner Portal, we record the times at which you subscribe to or unsubscribe from the newsletter. This enables us to verify your subscription and, if necessary, investigate any possible misuse of your personal data.

You are under neither a legal nor a contractual obligation to provide information. However, you are only able to make use of our newsletter service if you provide the mandatory information mentioned above.

We use solutions from the external service provider eworx Network & Internet GmbH, Hanriederstraße 25, 4150 Rohrbach-Berg, Austria (hereinafter "eworx") as data processor within the meaning of Article 4 no. 8 GDPR for the sending of newsletters and the subsequent evaluation of your user behaviour. This may result in eworx having access to your personal data. The data recorded are stored on eworx servers.

Please note that we use our newsletter to evaluate your user behaviour. This can be done manually or by using an algorithm. If you click on a link in a newsletter, you will be redirected to one of our websites via an eworx server. As a result, eworx evaluates various parameters; for instance, when you click on which links in the newsletter and which of our pages you visit.

Subject to your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR provides the legal basis for the aforementioned data processing. You can revoke your consent at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the link in any newsletter email or by unsubscribing in the MACO Partner Portal. The data collected in this context will be stored until you revoke your consent.

On our website we offer you the possibility to apply online for jobs with us via the job application portal. For this purpose, we use the e-recruiting system developed by Prescreen International GmbH, Mariahilfer Strasse 17, 1060 Vienna (hereinafter "Prescreen"). Under this arrangement, Prescreen acts as processor within the meaning of Article 4(8) GDPR.

If you send us an application, we will process the data in your application to complete the job application process. You can rest assured that the personal data contained in your application will only be disclosed to the internal departments and specialist departments responsible for filling the specific position.

6. Web analysis

We use the web analysis software developed by Matomo, InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on our website. This software helps us search our website for errors and analyse them. Furthermore, this web analysis software helps us evaluate the use of the website with a view to identifying measures for its further development. Your personal data (in this case your IP address) is anonymised immediately after it has been collected. There will therefore be no storage of personal data above and beyond this. The data collected with this web analysis software is transmitted to InnoCraft Ltd. and stored in data centres within the European Union.

Article 6(1)(f) GDPR provides the legal basis for this. You have the possibility of using our cookie manager to manage how your usage behaviour is analysed. You can object to such analysis in the cookie manager.

7. External media content

a. Issuu

A plug-in developed by Issuu Inc., 131 Lytton Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA, is integrated on our website. This plug-in enables you to access some of our publications as e-papers. If you visit one of our pages that has an integrated Issuu plug-in, Issuu sets cookies and transmits personal data, such as IP address and information about the time and duration of use, to Issuu servers located in the United States. This also happens if you are not logged in to Issuu or do not have an account with Issuu. If you are logged in to your Issuu account, you allow Issuu to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this from happening by logging out of your Issuu account. Consent is recorded in the form of a cookie stored on your computer that is valid for a maximum of one year for all content embedded on the maco.eu website, provided that you do not delete the cookies in your browser or remove this consent cookie via our cookie manager.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further information on the use of the data Issuu collects can be found on this website: https://issuu.com/legal/privacy.

b. YouTube

We have integrated YouTube videos from YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA ("YouTube") on our website. These videos are stored at https://www.youtube-nocookie.com and can be played directly from our website. YouTube videos are integrated to enable you to use the website in a convenient way. Subject to your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR provides the legal basis for this.

The YouTube videos on our website are all embedded using "enhanced privacy mode"; this means that less information about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you choose not to play the videos. Only if you actually play a video will the following data be transmitted to YouTube. We have no influence on this transfer of data.

If you watch a video, YouTube is informed that you have accessed the relevant subpage of our website. In addition, the log data specified in section 3. a of this Privacy Policy will be transmitted. This happens regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to your Google account, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish such information to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before visiting our website. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to suit your needs. Such an evaluation is performed in particular (even in the case of users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

You have the option of giving your prior consent to the integration of YouTube videos in order to prevent personal data from being disclosed to Google and to prevent Google from placing tracking cookies on your computer when you access a MACO website with embedded YouTube videos. Google will only set appropriate cookies and data will only be transferred to Google if you give your consent. Consent is recorded in the form of a cookie stored on your computer that is valid for a maximum of one year for all content embedded on the maco.eu website, provided that you do not delete the cookies in your browser or remove this consent cookie by using our cookie manager.

YouTube is a company affiliated with Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

In its Privacy Policy, you will also find further information on your rights and the optional settings available to you to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google operates data centres worldwide (both in and outside the European Union and United States). We do not know whether your data will also be transmitted by Google to servers located outside the European Union and United States.

c. Google Maps

On our website, we use the services of Google Maps provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA ("Google"). This allows us to display interactive maps directly on our website and enables you to make convenient use of the map function. Subject to your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR provides the legal basis for this.

By visiting our website, Google is informed that you have accessed the relevant subpage of our website. In addition, the data specified in section 2. a of this Privacy Policy are transmitted to Google. This happens regardless of whether you have a Google user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to your Google account, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish such information to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before visiting our website. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to suit your needs. Such an evaluation is performed in particular (even in the case of users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right.

You have the option of giving your prior consent to the integration of interactive maps by Google Maps in order to prevent personal data from being disclosed to Google and to prevent tracking cookies from being placed on your computer when you access a MACO website with embedded content from Google Maps. Google will only set appropriate cookies and data will only be transferred to Google if you give your consent. Consent is recorded in the form of a cookie stored on your computer that is valid for a maximum of one year for all content embedded on the maco.eu website, provided that you do not delete the cookies in your browser or remove this consent cookie via our cookie manager.

Please refer to Google's Privacy Policies for more information about the purpose and extent of data collection and processing by Google.

We do not know whether your data will also be transmitted by Google to servers located outside the European Union and United States.

d. Matterport

On our website we use the 3-D data platform of Matterport Inc, 352 E. Java Dr. Sunnyvale, CA 94089, USA. This enables 3D models to be captured. 

The following data is processed by Matterport when you visit our website: IP address, browser version and displaying device, origin and destination URL and the ID of the respective 3D tour.

Matterport processes data outside the EU or the EEA (third country). For data processing in the USA, the appropriate level of data protection results from the standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art 46 (2) and (3) DSGVO. Matterport thus guarantees compliance with the European level of data protection.

The lawfulness of the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO, because the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller (appealing presentation of our online offers).

You have the option of giving your prior consent to the integration by Matterport in order to prevent personal data from being disclosed to Matterport and to prevent tracking cookies from being placed on your computer when you access a MACO website with embedded content from Matterport. Matterport will only set appropriate cookies and data will only be transferred to Matterport if you give your consent. Consent is recorded in the form of a cookie stored on your computer that is valid for a maximum of one year for all content embedded on the maco.eu website, provided that you do not delete the cookies in your browser or remove this consent cookie via our cookie manager.

You can access Matterport's privacy policy at the following link: https://matterport.com/legal/privacy-policy.

9. Data security

When you visit our website, we use the common TLS (Transport Layer Security) procedure in conjunction with the very highest level of encryption supported by your browser. In addition, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to help secure and protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, and destruction, as well as to prevent any unauthorised access of your data by third parties. Our security measures are continuously being improved in keeping with the latest technological developments. However, MACO is unable to guarantee the security of the data transmitted by you as a user. All data transferred by the user is therefore transmitted at the user's own risk.

10. Your rights

You have the right:

• under Article 15 GDPR, to obtain access to information about the personal data concerning you that are being processed by us. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of the processing of data, the categories of personal data concerned, the categories of recipients to whom your data have been or will be disclosed, the envisaged period for which the data will be stored, the existence of a right to request rectification, erasure, restriction of processing of data or to object to processing, the right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data (where the data are not collected by us), as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on the details;

• pursuant to Article 16 GDPR, to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data stored by us and to have incomplete personal data completed;

• provided for in Article 17 GDPR, to obtain the erasure of your personal data stored by us, save in those instances where the processing of data is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, for reasons or public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

• referred to in Article 18 GDPR, to obtain a restriction of the processing of your personal data where (a) you contest the accuracy of the data, (b) the processing is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of the data, and (c) we no longer need the data, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or (d) you have objected to the processing of your data in accordance with Article 21 GDPR;

• pursuant to Article 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to have such data transmitted to another controller, where the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 para 1 lit a GDPR) or on a contract (Article 6 para 1 lit b GDPR), and the processing is carried out by automated means;

• under Article 7(3) GDPR, to revoke at any time the consent previously given to us. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue processing the data on the basis of this consent in the future; the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the revocation is not affected.

To exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please send an email to dataprotecion@maco.eu or use the contact details provided in section 2..

Right to object:

If we process your personal data to safeguard legitimate interests within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing on grounds relating to your particular situation under Article 21(1) GDPR. Pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes, without having to give any reason for doing so. To exercise your right to object, all you need to do is notify us informally, e.g. by sending an email to dataprotecion@maco.eu.

Right to lodge a complaint:

In accordance with Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you are of the view that the processing of the personal data relating to you infringes the General Data Protection Regulation. The competent supervisory authority in Austria is the Data Protection Agency (https://www.dsb.gv.at).
