Scope

This data protection notice clarifies users about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and usage of personal data on this website by Startup Carinthia, Lastenstraße 26/1, A-9020 Klagenfurt. It only applies to the content on our server and does not include the websites linked on it. The protection of your data is very important to us. In order to inform you fully about the use of personal data, we kindly ask you to take notice of the following data protection notice.

Personal data

Personal data electronically transmitted by you on this website, such as your name, e-mail address, address, or other personal information, will only be used for specified purposes, kept safe and not be passed on to third parties. The provider automatically collects and stores information on the web server such as the browser used, operating system, reference page, IP address, time of access, etc. This data cannot be assigned to specific persons without checking other data sources and we will not evaluate this data any further as long as there is no illegal use of our website.

Form data and commentaries

When website visitors leave comments or form entries, the data entered and their IP addresses will be saved. This is done to be on the safe side in case someone writes illegal content (such as insults, left-wing or right-wing extremist propaganda, hate postings, etc.). In this case, we are interested in the identity of the author.

Newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, you will regularly receive information about the startup ecosystem per e-mail. In order to send electronic mail, the data is automatically collected, stored and processed by Startup Carinthia. If you no longer wish to receive information, you can unsubscribe at any time via a link in the newsletter.

Data protection notice for the usage of Mailchimp

We use MailChimp to send our newsletter. MailChimp is an offer from The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Ste 404 Atlanta, GA 30318. If you register for our newsletter, the data you provide will be transmitted to MailChimp and stored by them.

Integration of third-party services and content

It can happen that content from third parties, such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites get integrated within this online offer. This always assumes that the providers of this content (following referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, these providers could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We strive to only use content whose respective providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on the third-party providers who store the IP address, e.g., for statistical purposes. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about it or anonymize the IP as far as it is technically possible for us.

Privacy Policy for our Smartphone App

Our app (SC LIVE) accesses your location information even if the app is closed or not in use. We do this to make use of small Bluetooth transmitters (called iBeacons) to draw your attention to places of interest near you. The app can also send you notifications based on your whereabouts. Your current whereabouts are shown on maps to give you a better overview. Ultimately, we save this data so that we don’t always make the same suggestions.

Privacy is important to us. We do not save any personal data and use location-related data very sparingly. We do not pass this data on to third parties under any circumstances.

The app asks you if you want to grant this permission. If you deny this authorization, you can still use many of the app’s functions. All in all, granting this authorization helps you to have a better user experience and more relevant tips. Thanks.

Which other data does the app save:

  • The use of individual location markers (QR code, NFC tag or iBeacon) at individual locations and their frequency.
  • Answers to the puzzles, but without data from the person who entered them.
  • Data on the delivery of the content in order to be able to measure its quality.
Due to its content and since we do not store any personal data in the app or in the app backend, the app is safe and also suitable for a young audience.

Firebase Crashlytics

We use Firebase Crashlytics to control and promptly remedy any errors that might occur in our app.
Should the app crash, certain information on the crash such as time of the crash, device type, operating system and other technical data (including installation UUID and crash traces) of your mobile device will be sent to Crashlytics. These crash reports do not include the IP address or personally identifiable information.
The lawfulness of processing is the legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest pursued is being able to continuously improve the app to offer you an error-free and functional application.
For more information on Firebase Crashlytics, specifically the processing period, please refer to the Privacy Statement of Google Firebase: Data Processing and Security Term.
