[7.] Cookies and social plug-ins

[7.1] We use cookies to gather data automatically. A cookie is a small text file which stores web settings. Almost every website uses cookies technology. The file is downloaded by your web browser when you first visit the website. When you next visit that website using the same device, the cookie along with the information stored in it is either sent back to the website which generated it (first-party cookie) or sent to another website to which it belongs (third-party cookie). This allows the website to determine that it has already been accessed before via the browser in question, and in some cases it then varies the displayed content.

[8.] Rights of the parties involved

Your rights with regard to data processing are as follows:

[8.1] Right to information: you are entitled to request a notification indicating whether and to what extent personal data about you are undergoing processing.

[8.2] Right to correction: if we process incomplete or incorrect personal data about you, you are entitled at any time to demand that the data be corrected or rendered complete. If you have set up a user account, you are entitled to access your personal data at any time and correct them or add to them yourself. Furthermore, you are entitled to close your user account at any time.

[8.3] Right to delete: under any of the following circumstances you are entitled to demand that your personal data be deleted: the reason for which the data were gathered no longer applies; unlawful data processing has occurred; the data processing disproportionately infringes upon your justified interests; or the data processing is based on your consent and you have revoked that consent. However, please bear in mind that there may be other reasons which may prevent immediate deletion of your data (e.g. statutory mandatory storage; pending legal proceedings; assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims).

[8.4] Right to place constraints on processing: under any of the following circumstances you are entitled to demand that constraints be placed on processing of your data:

  • you dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period of time that allows us to check whether the data are accurate;
  • processing of your data is unlawful, but you do not want your data to be deleted and instead would prefer that constraints be placed on how the data are used;
  • we no longer need the data for the purpose in question, but you still need the data in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
  • you have submitted an objection to processing of the data.

[8.5] Right to transferability of data: you are entitled to demand that the data supplied by you be provided to you by us in a standard, structured, machine-readable format, insofar as we are processing the data based on your consent or in order to fulfil an agreement between us and the processing is being carried out via automated methods.

[8.6] Right to submit an objection: if we process your data in order to perform tasks which are in the public interest or in order to exercise official authority, or if, when processing the data, we invoke the need to uphold our legitimate interests, you may submit an objection to the processing of the data, insofar as you have predominant justified interests in your data. You may object at any time to the sending of advertising materials without having to give reasons.

[8.7] Right to submit a complaint: if you believe that when processing your data we are in breach of Austrian or European data protection law and thereby infringing your rights, please get in touch so that we can clarify the matter. Naturally you are also entitled to submit a complaint to the Austrian Data Protection Authority or a European supervisory authority.

[8.8] Right to revoke: at any time you may revoke any consent which you have given, independently of all other statements of consent. If you revoke your consent, from that date on we will cease processing your data for the purposes indicated in the statement of consent, and hence we will no longer be able to benefit from the rights, advantages etc.

You may invoke any of these rights directly by contacting Porsche Holding GmbH (e-mail: holding(kwfat)porsche.co(kwfdot)at).
