6. Processor

Processor

The processor commissioned by PSA processes your data where necessary to perform their specific services. PSA contractually obliges its processors to uphold the confidentiality and security of all personal data. At present, PSA uses the following processor:

• Antares NetlogiX Netzwerkberatung GmbH

We have taken suitable technical and organisational steps to protect your personal data. In particular, these measures include provisions to guard against unauthorised access of any kind to your personal data alongside controls on data entry, processing and availability.

MS Teams

PSA offers the option of communicating via Microsoft Teams, a video conferencing tool supplied by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown Dublin 18, Ireland (‘Microsoft Ireland’).

When you use Microsoft Teams, it is possible that personal data may be transmitted to the USA. In order to comply with the requirements of article 46ff of the GDPR, Microsoft Ireland has concluded standard data protection clauses with group sub-processors headquartered in third countries.

For more information on data processing in connection with the use of Microsoft Teams and the Data Protection Addendum agreed between ourselves and Microsoft, please visit:

https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Microsoft-Products-and-Services-Data-Protection-Addendum-DPA

Using Microsoft Teams is not a requirement for communicating with PSA. As an alternative, PSA offers personal meetings and telephone conferences. Where Microsoft Teams is used for communication, Microsoft Ireland will act as processor. For this reason, data is processed on the basis of the fulfilment of contractual obligations (article 6 subsection 1(b) of the GDPR).

Recipient

Owing to legal obligations aimed at detecting criminal offences, preventing money laundering and the financing of terrorism and combating fraud, data is sent to the following recipients:

• Law enforcement agencies/courts
• Austrian Financial Intelligence Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Service (BKA).
   

7.  Clarification regarding website analysis

To avoid the potential transfer of personal data to third countries, PSA deliberately decided against utilising Google Analytics. Instead, PSA cooperates with Matomo to prevent any processing at all of personal data.

This is achieved by ensuring the last six digits of the IP addresses of website visitors are not recorded and so cannot be linked to any individual. From the analysis data, we can only determine from where the website is specifically accessed (i.e. from which federal state).

8. For how long is personal data stored?

• Contract processing: 7 years
• Events: 7 years
• Video surveillance at ATM machines: 90 days
• Legal obligation in accordance with the FM-GwG (Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act): 10 years
• Video surveillance on office premises: 72 hours
   

9. As an affected person, what are my rights?

We would like to remind you that in the first instance, questions concerning rights in connection with the processing of personal data linked to your debit card or credit card should be addressed to your bank as your contractual partner and the entity responsible for data processing.

At all times, you have the right to be informed of the data we store; you also have the right to the rectification or deletion of such data, and to restrict or object to the processing thereof (where data is processed on the basis of a public interest or to uphold a legitimate interest). Furthermore, you have the right to data portability in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

To this end, please email privacy@psa.at or write to PSA Payment Services Austria GmbH, z.H. Datenschutz, Handelskai 92, Gate 2, 1200 Vienna.

In the unlikely event that your right to the lawful processing of your data is breached in spite of our duty to process your data in line with legal requirements, please contact us by post or email as shown above so that we can address your concerns.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian data protection authority (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna) or another data supervisory authority within the European Union (especially in the place where you live or work).
 

10. Am I obliged to supply data?

Although you are not legally obliged to supply us with data, we may be unable to provide services for you if you decline to provide us with your data.

Where data processing is performed with your consent, you may permanently revoke your consent at any time. To do so, please email privacy@psa.at or write to PSA Payment Services Austria GmbH, z.H. Datenschutz, Handelskai 92, Gate 2, 1200 Vienna. However, please note that without your consent, we are unable to provide services.
 

11. Information on automated decision-making, including profiling

PSA does not process personal data as part of automated decision-making processes; no profiling is performed. 
 

12. Updating of data protection information

Owing to rapid developments in technology, legislation and case law, it may be necessary to amend this privacy policy from time to time. For this reason, please be sure to refer to the current version on our web site.
