Data protection policy

A. General

The controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (hereinafter also "GDPR") and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data protection provisions is:

Flughafen Wien Aktiengesellschaft
Flughafen
1300 Wien-Flughafen
Österreich
Tel.: +43 1 7007-0
Website: www.viennaairport.com

hereinafter also referred to as "FWAG" or "we".

The role of the "controller" is characterised by the fact that the controller decides on the purpose and means of the processing of personal data.

Personal data is regularly processed in the course of the operation of an airport. This is not always done by the airport operator. For example, the processing of personal data related to flight operations is carried out under the responsibility of the respective airline.

This privacy statement only covers processing activities for which FWAG is the controller.

The FWAG data protection officer can be contacted at:

datenschutz@viennaairport.com

and by post: Vienna Airport AG, P.O. Box 1, 1300 Vienna Airport with the addition of "General Secretariat / Data Protection Officer".

Personenbezogene Daten sind alle Informationen, die sich auf eine identifizierte oder identifizierbare Person beziehen, wie etwa Name, Geburtsdatum, Anschrift aber auch der Inhalt von E-Mail-Korrespondenz oder das Verhalten auf Internetseiten (im Folgenden auch „personenbezogene Daten“ oder nur „Daten“). Unter den personenbezogenen Daten gibt es besondere Kategorien, die gesetzlich besonders geschützt sind. Darunter fallen etwa Daten, aus denen die religiöse Überzeugungen oder die Gewerkschaftszugehörigkeit hervorgehen, Gesundheitsdaten, etc.

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of data subjects only,

  • if the data subject consents to the processing of his/her data, or
  • insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, administration and performance of contracts or for the provision of our services, or
  • to the extent that it is necessary for compliance with legal requirements or we are obliged to do so by law, or
  • to the extent that it is justified on the basis of a legitimate interest

In points B and below, we describe each processing activity in detail. Please note that not all processing activities described below are carried out in relation to all data subjects. For example, the information provided under the point "Lounges" only applies to individuals who visit our lounges and the information provided under the point "Competitions" only applies to individuals who participate in our competitions.

Wir legen personenbezogene Daten nur Anderen (sogenannten „Empfängern“) gegenüber offen, wenn und soweit dies erforderlich und zulässig ist. Details zu den jeweiligen Empfängern finden Sie unten bei den einzelnen Datenverarbeitungen. Im Anlassfall legen wir Ihre personenbezogenen Daten darüber hinaus möglicherweise gegenüber einer zuständigen Behörde oder einem zuständigen Gericht offen.

Zudem bedienen wir uns teilweise externer Dienstleister (sogenannte „Auftragsverarbeiter“), die personenbezogene Daten in unserem Auftrag verarbeiten. Diese wurden von uns sorgfältig ausgewählt und beauftragt, sind an unsere Weisungen gebunden und werden regelmäßig kontrolliert. Wenn wir Auftragsverarbeiter zum Einsatz bringen, sind diese unter dem Punkt „Empfänger“ der jeweiligen Verarbeitungstätigkeit genannt.

It may happen that personal data is transferred by us to countries outside the European Economic Area (so-called third countries). In this case, we ensure that the legal requirements for such transfers are complied with so that the personal data is protected accordingly. For transfers to third countries, we comply, for example, with adequacy decisions of the European Commission, enter into standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission, comply with binding internal data protection rules or rely on the exemptions for certain cases regulated by law. If we transfer personal data to third countries or intend to do so, you will find the relevant information under the item "Recipients" or a separate item of the respective processing activity.

The applicable data protection law grants you, as a data subject, comprehensive data subject rights vis-à-vis us, the data controller, with regard to the processing of your personal data, of which we inform you below. To exercise these rights (with the exception of the right to complain to the competent data protection authority), please contact datenschutz@viennaairport.com.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data that you dispute is being verified, if you object to the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved or if you have objected on the grounds of your particular situation as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds prevail.

Right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 of the GDPR

If we process your personal data within the framework of a balancing of interests on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO), you have the right to object to this processing with effect for the future at any time on grounds arising from your particular situation.

If you exercise your right to object, we shall cease processing the data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling overriding reasons for the processing which override your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If your personal data is processed by us for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing. If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data concerned for direct marketing purposes.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.  

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the personal data and the log files is our legitimate interest, which lies in the pursuit of the above-mentioned purposes, in particular ensuring the functionality of the website and guaranteeing the security of our information technology systems (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

c) Recipient

The personal data is disclosed to IT service providers for the purpose of maintaining the functionality of the online services. In order to make the website available in a technically barrier-free manner, purely technical data (IP address, web browser, referrer website) is transmitted to the processor AccessiWay GmbH (Austria) and to the sub-processors AccessiWay S.R.l (Italy) and, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the Commission, AccessiBe Ltd (Israel).

d) Retention period

K. Easy Parking

When you book "Easy Parking" and drive your car into the Easy Parking zone, we record your name, email address/phone number and registration number. This ensures that you receive your car key and information about the parking space as quickly as possible on your return. Furthermore, we take a photo documentation of your vehicle with a mobile device to check the damage. If necessary, we can access the photos to clarify whether damage to your vehicle was already present before the Easy Parking service or only occurred in the course of it.

The legal basis for the collection of the contract data and the photo documentation is the "fulfilment of the contract" (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).

The vehicle takeover, photo documentation and transfer of the vehicles is carried out by our subcontractor, "check-in carwash GmbH & Co KG" (Blumengasse 18/2, 1180-Vienna; FN 525526 h).

L. Boarding pass control PaxControl

At the entrance to the airside, which is the area in the terminals that is only accessible to certain people (e.g. passengers, crew members, employees), your boarding pass is scanned to check whether you are authorised to enter the airside. This also serves airport security purposes in particular. The following data will be processed: Name, PNR code, destination, airline, flight number, date, class, seat, sequence number (of the airline), status (if indicated by the airline), frequent flyer number (if indicated by the airline) and fast track indicator.

The processing activity serves to fulfil our legal obligation under Commission Regulation No 2015/1998 of 5 November 2015 laying down detailed measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR) as well as our legitimate interest, which lies in the pursuit of the above purposes, in particular airport security (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

In the context of boarding pass control, personal data are disclosed to the following recipients:

  • IT service provider

We keep the personal data for 48 hours, after which it is deleted again.

M. Biometric boarding pass control Paxcontrol "Star Alliance Biometrics"

Star Alliance Biometrics (hereinafter: "SBH") is a product of Star Alliance Services GmbH (Frankfurt Airport Center 1, 5th Floor, 60546 Frankfurt / Main; hereinafter: "Star Alliance") and enables the voluntary biometric identification (facial recognition) of passengers at the airport. Flughafen Wien Group currently supports the use of the biometric identification service offered by SBH at individual, clearly marked boarding pass control gates before the security check ("Pre-security gates").

At these clearly marked gates, which have SBH's biometric identification service integrated, if you wish to use the biometric identification service, you will be asked to record a short video sequence, which will subsequently be transmitted to Star Alliance for the purpose of biometric matching with your biometric profile stored at SBH.

For this subsequent data processing in connection with the biometric matching in the area of responsibility of Star Alliance as well as for the registration with SBH and the use of the associated Star Alliance Navigator App, the Star Alliance Privacy Policy applies, which can be found at  https://staralliance.com/de/apps-privacy-policy

In case of a successful matching of your captured facial images with the SBH database, Star Alliance will transmit all necessary data of your boarding pass to Flughafen Wien Group (see pt. K), the airlock will open and you can continue your journey.

Please note:

Unless you have given or revoked consent in the Star Alliance Navigator App, you are neither permitted nor able to use the biometric identification service (successfully). Alternative means of boarding pass verification (e.g. boarding pass scan) are available to you. There is no obligation to use the biometric identification service.

Should you attempt to use the biometric identification service without being registered with SBH or without having given your consent to be identified at Vienna Airport - contrary to the express notice at the correspondingly marked airlocks - a video sequence/photo will nevertheless be taken of you and transmitted to the Star Alliance for biometric comparison. However, the identification will then fail and the identification process will end with an error message.

The legal basis for this processing is your express consent given in the Star Alliance Navigator App to be identified at Vienna Airport via the Star Alliance biometric identification service (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO). Star Alliance handles the consent management for Flughafen Wien Group.

The facial images are transmitted to the Star Alliance identification service. Star Alliance generates the biometric features from one of these facial images and matches them with the biometric template stored in their database and assigned to a specific passenger. The identification service requires a biometric database. This database is also provided by Star Alliance. There, the passenger voluntarily registers in advance by providing personal details, taking a photo, scanning an identification document and selecting the airports and airlines where the passenger wishes to have their person identified through the biometric process outlined above. For more information on this processing of your data by Star Alliance:  https://staralliance.com/de/apps-privacy-policy

The captured facial images are deleted immediately after transmission to the Star Alliance and are therefore not stored by Flughafen Wien Group.
