2. On what basis do we utilize your data?
We process your data according to the applicable legal regulations (GDPR, DSG, TKG 2003). We gather and store personal data only with your consent, or to fulfill a contractual or legal requirement, including our own legal protection.
- Fulfillment of contractual obligations (art.6, para 1, b. DSGVO)
In order to fulfill our contractual obligations we must process your personal data. This includes pre-contract information and contact you initiated to request information from us. The intent of this data processing is first and foremost in accordance with our professional products and services. In order to fulfill the conditions of our contract we require, for example, your telephone number or e-mail address in order to initiate contact with you.
- Based on consent (art 6, para 1, a. DSGVO):
When you grant us your consent to process your data (e.g. in order to receive our newsletter as per § 107 TKG 2003 or for the use of cookies, pursuant to point 5) this processing occurs only for the purposes and agreed upon scope laid out in the respective declaration of consent.
You can retract consent at any time in writing via e-mail or a letter to the address listed below under point 9. This retraction applies to future consent. I.e. Retraction of consent has no legal bearing on the use of your data undertaken prior to the retraction.
- Fulfillment of legal obligations (art.6, para 1, c. DSGVO):
Personal data can be processed based on legal requirements (specifically: keeping business communications and documents pertaining to contracts) which we reasonably feel are necessary. These legal requirements can originate, for example, from the official guidelines of “business statutes” (UGB), “federal submissions requirements” (BAO), or “general civil law” (ABGB). Should your data be kept due to such a legal requirement, they will be deleted only after the requirement is no longer in effect.
- Safeguarding our legal interests (art.6, para 1, f. DSGVO)
If it is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party, we can process your data. An example of such an interest would be improving our commercial offers to tailor them to those viewing our website. You benefit from more personalized offers and more relevant, meaningful product offerings. Processing your data helps us provide these more relevant, beneficial offers. Our legitimate interest in processing your data also exists for our own and our partners’ marketing goals, development of customer loyalty, or legal direct marketing via a newsletter (those for which no consent is required). Additionally, there is a legitimate interest in processing data within the framework of a legal prosecution as well as internal business needs.
3. Personalized offers
On our website we ask you at various opportunities (e.g. completion entry, newsletter registration) about your interests. When you provide us your interest, it helps us determine the expectations visitors to our website have. This way we can better structure our offer for you. Provided that you have provided your interests when you signed up for the newsletter, we will use that information to include information in the newsletter that is of personal interest to you. Providing your interests is always voluntary and there is absolutely no downside to not providing your interests. However we cannot customize our offer for you without your support.
4. Forwarding of information to third parties
Your personal data will only be provided to a third party when it is required to dissolve a contract and legally permissible. Data will also be forwarded only after you have expressly given consent. Third parties would be:
- Service providers and subcontractors we have engaged (e.g. IT personnel, delivery persons, logistics support), when they require your data in order to complete their tasks. These subcontractors are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for their specific assignments.
- Internally at Fischer Sports only those employees or departments who need your personal data to fulfill specific contractual and legal duties, as well as our legitimate business interests, have access to your data.

This information (including your IP address) is transferred by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA where it is stored.
