Privacy policy statement
The protection of your personal data is of the utmost importance. Consequently, we carry out our activities by complying with the applicable laws concerning the protection of personal data and data security. In the following paragraphs, you will find out more about (i) what kind of information we may collect, (ii) how we handle that data (iii) for whom we may make this data accessible.
1. Data protection
We herewith confirm the compliance with the legal requirements concerning data protection. In particular, we declare that data are exclusively collected for dealing with orders or with measures aimed at ensuring data security. We thereby make sure that personal data is rightfully used and that it is not made available to unauthorized entities. Contractors, service providers and employees have an obligation of discretion and confidentiality about the data provided by the customers, partners, suppliers or acquired through the website (“data subjects”), as long as no legally grounded reason for the transfer or publication of the entrusted or made available data occurs.
In case of any legal obligations, we reserve the right to publish your personal data, if such publication is requested by legally entitled authorities or law enforcement agencies.
2. Rights of the data subjects
Data subjects have the right to information, corrections and deletion of their personal data as well as the right to the restriction of data processing, the right to data transfer and the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority.
The Austrian data protection authority is located at Barichgasse 40-42,
1030 Vienna, and can be reached by phone +43 1 52 152-0 as well as per E-Mail (dsb@dsb.gv.at). More information can be found at https://www.dsb.gv.at/home.
If data processing requires your consent (Art. 6 Par. 1 let. a GDPR), you have an additional right to withdraw this consent and if data processing falls within our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Par. 1 let. f GDPR), you have the right to raise an objection. A consent withdrawal does not influence the legitimacy of use of the data up until the moment in which the consent withdrawal occurred.
If you want to exercise one of the rights mentioned above, please contact asa technology Produktions- und Vertriebs GmbH per E-Mail (support@asahydraulik.com).
3. Personal data processing
Personal data are to be understood as any information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person, for instance name, surname, e-mail address, etc. (Art. 4 Par. 1 Z 1 GDPR). Through our websites, we collect your IP-address, which under certain circumstances can constitute an instance of personal data. We do not collect directly any further personal data (for instance names, postal addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses), unless you voluntarily provide us with them (for instance through a registration, survey, contact request or newsletter registration), or consent to their collection, or in case the relevant laws on the protection of your personal data allow us to do so.
Data processing ensues based on § 6 Par. 1 let. b GDPR (“necessary for the performance of a contract”) or on the basis of § 6 Par. 1 let. a GDPR (“Consent”), as long as you have granted us a „consent for marketing purposes“.
Only in rare cases, data processing can occur according to § 6 Par. 1 let. f GDPR („legitimate interests“). For instance, in order to fight fraud attempts or in the case of (restricted) video surveillance for security purposes.

In how far the collection, elaboration, and use or your communication-related or use-related information is absolutely necessary depends on the legal regulations concerning data protection and the present Privacy Policy Statement.
