Collection and processing of personal data

Personal data is collected and processed in the ORF.at network exclusively for legally permitted purposes and to the extent specified by law. This is the case, for example, if the processing of your data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or a legal obligation affecting us.

Data will also be stored and used if you have given your consent to the processing of personal data for one or more specific purposes.

Personal data is data from which a natural person can be identified. Therefore, all data that allows conclusions to be drawn about your person are personal data, e.g. your name in connection with an address, many, but by far not all e-mail addresses.

Personal data also includes data that only in combination with other data, often from another data processor, enables the identification of a person, e.g. your IP address in combination with a time when you were online.

ORF and its subsidiaries process your data, for example, when you order something from the online shop or via our customer service, enter a competition or contact us in any other way.

We process data such as your IP address and browser or app identifiers for technical operation and further development whenever you use the services of the ORF.at network.

We use the personal data you provide only to the extent necessary to fulfil the respective purpose; e.g.

- for the fulfilment of a contract
- to fulfil a legal obligation
- for the technical provision of our services
- when registering for one of our online offers requiring registration
- for sending newsletters
- for processing an order in the online shop
- for sending information material and advertising
- for the handling of a competition
- to measure the use and performance of ORF's online services
- to answer a question that you ask us.

We only store and process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the respective purposes.

The duration of data processing also depends in particular on the statutory retention periods and the limitation periods for potential legal claims.
