II. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of the personal data
In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the maintenance of a functional website and the provision of our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data generally occurs only following receipt of the user’s consent. An exception is made in cases where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for practical reasons and where the processing of the data is permitted by statutory regulations.
This privacy policy only covers the data processing operations described below. In addition, further processing of the personal data of the users can take place, especially by group companies of the STRABAG Group as the sole data protection officer. In this respect, the special data protection declarations made available for the respective data processing by STRABAG SE or Group companies apply.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) a of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis.
Where the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) b of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This shall also apply to all processing operations required for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (statutory conditions) to which our company is bound, Art. 6 (1) c of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6 (1) d of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, and the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned legitimate interest, Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for processing.
3. Deletion of data and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject are deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for their storage no longer applies. Storage beyond this point may take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted once the storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time this website is accessed, our system records data and information from the computer system of the calling computer by means of an automated system.
The following data are collected as part of this process:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s Internet service provider
(4) The user’s IP address
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system has come to our website
(7) Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The system temporarily stores the user’s IP address in order to make the website available on the user’s computer. To do this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functional capability of the website. The data also help us to optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. No data are evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
This is also the reasoning behind our legitimate interest in data processing under Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR.
4. Storage duration
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. When data are collected in order to make the website available, this is the case when the respective session ends.

5. Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is necessary for operating the website. Therefore, there is no possibility for the user to object.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
We configured Matomo in such a way that:
no cookies are placed on your end-device; the IP address is shortened by the last two bytes and is thus anonymised; in addition to the pages opened, only the data transmitted by your browser when you access the website is recorded / this data recording is limited to the respective duration of the sessions; on opening the website, your data transmitted by the browser and the anonymized IP address are irrevocably replaced by a pseudonym ID on a session basis, so that no identifiability and thus no personal reference can be established, whereby this pseudonym ID is also deleted after a maximum of 24 hours.
We use our own Matomo instance on our company’s servers within the European Economic Area, so that no data is transmitted to Matomo or other third parties.
In addition, you have the option of activating the “Do Not Track” option in your browser. In this case Matomo does not store or process any data from your website visit.
If you have not activated the “Do Not Track” option and do not agree with the collection and analysis of the aforementioned data, you can object to this processing on our website at any time. For this purpose, we provide you below with a special inline frame that is linked to our Matomo system. By deactivating the checkbox (opt-out), a cookie is stored on your end-device that prevents the collection and processing of any session data on our website by Matomo. Please note that deleting your cookies will also delete this cookie and you may need to reactivate it.
