Your personal data will be processed with your consent or based on one of the other legal bases provided by GDPR.

Data processing within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 (a), 7 GDPR)

When you give us your consent for processing of your personal data, it will be processed exclusively for the purposes and to the extent agreed in the declaration of consent. We use your personal data to provide you with information about our services and products, or products and services of third parties and for communication with you.

We process company, contact, administrator and other contractual data for the provision, administration and invoicing of products and services purchased by you, the customer, from A1 Digital, as well as for the fulfilment of (pre-)contractual obligations with you, our supplier or business partner.

In such case, we will inform you immediately about the transfer, unless we are obliged to keep this information confidential by law or by order of a court or administrative authority. We reject requests for information without an appropriate legal basis.

Data processing for purpose of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR)

Data processing may be carried beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract for purpose of our legitimate interests or legitimate interest of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require protection of personal data. A data processing for the protection of legitimate interests is carried out, for example:

  • for the protection of the company's assets as well as our employees and business partners or according to due diligence requirements based on the A1 Compliance Guidelines, such as:
    • Integrity checks of existing and potential contractual partners (checks against official sanctions lists and media sources)
    • Credit checks (checks on previous payment history and credit from credit agencies)
  • for the evaluation and selection of the provider in accordance with the vendor selection process (information related to tendering and bid solicitation phase, contract preparation or conclusion)

These checks do not lead to any automated decision making with regard to existing or potential contract and business relationship. However, if information is not compatible with our compliance guidelines or information is missing, we may refrain from concluding a contract with you or demand additional information. If you have any objections, simply use our contact options and indicate your concerns.

We also use automated data processing procedures to improve our services. Such procedures are referred to as "profiling" and include in particular processing:

  • to maintain an overview of your interest in our services, as well as to assign internal user categories to you, so that we can recommend products and services tailored to your interests
  • to improve and personalize your experience and display more relevant information or advertisements on our website or on third party sites
  • to identify and correct possible defects in our services and also to further improve our services
  • for fraud investigation and to detect abuse
  • to provide better products and services that are appropriate to user behavior and to improve contact with users


Who are the recipients of the personal data?

For the purpose of registration, activation of the products or services you have selected, we may need to transfer certain data, such as your company and contact details, to the respective licensor, supplier and partner of these products or services. In case of reselling of products and services, the service or license terms of the respective provider apply to the use of such third party services, and with regard to the processing of personal data, the relevant data protection terms of the respective provider apply.

We will not transfer your data to unauthorized third parties without your consent. However, we may be legally obliged to transfer your data to courts, public prosecutors, police or other authorities. If you do not comply with your contractual obligations, we may commission a debt collection agency. In this case, you will be notified in advance so that you can take any action.

In order to provide service support to the products or services you have selected, we may transfer your personal data to Telekom Austria AG and its subsidiaries. We may also engage third parties to perform certain tasks on our behalf, such as IT and cloud services, invoice printing, administration and troubleshooting tools, logistics, sales, etc. Even if we engage such processors, we remain responsible for the protection of your data. For this reason, all processors are of course contractually obliged to keep your data confidential and to comply with data protection regulations. We only use processors outside the European Union if the European Commission has issued an adequacy finding for such third country or if we have agreed appropriate guarantees or binding internal data protection rules with the processor.

Security of processing

We have implemented effective technical and organisational measures to protect your data, and our employees are also trained on how to safely handle personal data.

How long is personal data stored?

We generally delete your personal data after termination of the contractual relationship, but at the latest after all legal obligations to retain data have expired. A longer storage period exists if this data is still needed to charge or collect fees, to process complaints or to fulfil other legal obligations. In addition, access to the above-mentioned data is restricted.

Your usage data, insofar as this is not required for the purpose of charging fees, will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements, after legal obligations to retain data have expired.

It is also possible that instead of deleting the data, it may be made anonymous. In this case, any personal reference will be irretrievably removed, meaning that the obligations to erasure of data under data protection law will no longer apply.

What rights do you have?

You can exercise the following rights with regard to the processing of your data:

  • Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR - You can demand confirmation from us as to whether and to what extent we are processing your data.

    • you dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period of time which enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.

If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
