Third parties

We use third parties to perform certain tasks for us.

You may arrive at our services or our website via another website (which mentions our services). Filamente e.U. has no influence whatsoever on the websites of third parties to which or from which you are linked.

We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the operation and/or content of third party websites.

Security

We recognise our responsibility in relation to the protection of the data you entrust to us. We have taken appropriate measures to protect your personal data against accidental loss and against unauthorised access, use, alteration and disclosure.

These measures provide adequate security in view of the current state of the art as well as the implementation costs and relate to the risks associated with the processing and the type of data to be protected. In addition, these measures are intended to protect against the unnecessary collection as well as further processing of your personal data.

Unfortunately, the transmission of data on the Internet is not 100% secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data you transmit to our website. The transmission of personal data is always at your own risk. We are not responsible for any circumvention of privacy settings or protections on our website.

Your rights

You may exercise your rights of access, rectification and erasure, limited processing and data transfer. You have the right to object to the use of your personal data. However, we may reject your request if we have compelling legitimate grounds for doing so that override your interests; or if the processing is for the purpose of claiming, exercising or defending legal rights. For security reasons, we reserve the right to verify your identity before allowing you to access personal data. We will respond to your request free of charge, but reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for complying with your requests if your request is excessive or your request is clearly unfounded.

Please send the request to assert your rights to jonathan.amon@filamente.at. Please formulate your e-mail as clearly and precisely as possible. In any case, please indicate which right you wish to assert and for what reason(s). We will respond to your request within one month of receipt, unless we need more time. Within one month of receiving your request, we will advise you that we need a maximum of a further two months. Within this time, we will notify you whether or not we grant your request. If we cannot grant your request, we will also give reasons.

If you have a complaint about our privacy policy, please feel free to contact us at jonathan.amon@filamente.at in the first instance. Together we can try to mitigate the cause of your complaint. You are entitled at any time to send a complaint in connection with our data protection guidelines to the competent supervisory authority. In Austria, it is the data protection authority.

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will post those changes on our website. We encourage you to review the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the amended Privacy Policy, we will not be able to continue to provide the Website and our services to you.
