Forms Used on the Website
By using the forms on this website, you enable Kultur-Betriebe Burgenland to contact you. We will use your data exclusively for this purpose. Kultur-Betriebe Burgenland stores this data in the Content Management System, e.g., to answer inquiries and to make inquiry management transparent for our customers.
Newsletter
Kultur-Betriebe Burgenland regularly sends newsletters via email. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter using the link provided in the footer of each newsletter.
Double Opt-In and Logging
Subscription to our newsletter uses a double opt-in process. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing using someone else's email address.
Newsletter subscriptions are logged to document the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes recording the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with MailChimp are also logged.
Use of the email marketing service "MailChimp"
Our newsletters are sent via "MailChimp," a newsletter distribution platform provided by the US company Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and analyze the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g., for the technical optimization of newsletter delivery and display, or for business purposes, such as determining the countries of origin of the recipients. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to share it with third parties. We trust in MailChimp's reliability and its IT and data security. MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection regulations. We have also concluded a Data Processing Agreement with MailChimp. This agreement obligates MailChimp to protect our users' data, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its privacy policy, and, in particular, not to share it with third parties. You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here.
Registration Details
To subscribe to the newsletter, simply provide your email address.
Statistical Data Collection and Analysis
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon," i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from MailChimp's server when the newsletter is opened. During this retrieval, technical information such as browser and system details, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or to analyze target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times.
The statistical data collection also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. While this information can be technically associated with individual newsletter recipients, it is neither our intention nor MailChimp's to monitor individual users. Rather, the analyses serve to help us understand our users' reading habits and to tailor our content accordingly, or to send different content based on our users' interests.
Online Access and Data Management
There are instances where we redirect newsletter recipients to MailChimp's website. For example, our newsletters contain a link that allows recipients to view the newsletter online (e.g., if there are display issues in their email program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as their email address. MailChimp's privacy policy is also only accessible on their website.
In this context, we would like to point out that MailChimp's website uses cookies, and therefore personal data is processed by MailChimp, its partners, and service providers (e.g., Google Analytics). We have no control over this data collection. You can find further information in MailChimp's privacy policy.
Cancellation/Revocation
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. This simultaneously revokes your consent to its distribution via MailChimp and the statistical analyses. A separate cancellation of the MailChimp newsletter subscription or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible. Newsletter notice based on a template by attorney Dr. Thomas Schwenke.

The data subject is not personally identifiable. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, and where the processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

She also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

In the event of such an objection, Burgenland Tourismus GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
Where Burgenland Tourismus GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing of their personal data by Burgenland Tourismus GmbH for direct marketing purposes, Burgenland Tourismus GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by Burgenland Tourismus GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Burgenland Tourismus GmbH directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
