Collection and Processing of Personal Data

We do not collect or process any personal data (such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, or email addresses) via our website, unless you voluntarily provide us with such data (e.g. by registering for municipal services/applications such as a citizen portal, a citizen participation platform, an application for the registration of citizen notifications, participation in surveys, contacting the municipality, or subscribing to a newsletter, registering for events, etc.).

 

Purpose of Collecting and Processing Personal Data

In general, we use the personal data voluntarily provided by you to answer your inquiries, process your registration, provide you with access to certain information or to enable targeted electronic communication or processing of official procedures or other business relationships with the municipality (e.g. for submitting citizen notifications, applications). For these purposes, it is necessary for us (or a third party acting on our behalf) to process and store your personal data. The collection and processing of voluntarily provided personal data is carried out exclusively in accordance with the provisions of Art. 6 GDPR. We would like to point out that you have the possibility to exercise your rights under the GDPR.

 

Your Rights with Regard to the Collection and Processing of Personal Data

You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation, and objection to the processing of your personal data. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated, you have the option of filing a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
The municipality provides a range of online forms on its homepage for convenient electronic application within the scope of official procedures, ordering of municipal services, registration for municipality services, and for other concerns to the municipality. The use of these online forms and the associated electronic recording of the necessary - partially personal - data required for the respective transaction is voluntary and only one of several ways to submit requests to the municipality (such as personal application on-site during the opening hours of the responsible department). Please note that the processing of the data you provide using the online forms is carried out exclusively in accordance with the provisions of Art. 6 GDPR.
