What personal data we collect and why we collect it

On this page you will find information about the processing of your data in connection with your membership and your rights.

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
MILA Mitmach-Supermarkt e. Gen.
Geblergasse 69/2, 1170 Vienna
mitmachen@mila.wien

Cooperative: Purpose and legal basis of data processing

We process personal data that we receive from members when they join for the purpose of implementing and managing membership and implementing the associated legal requirements. This data is therefore processed on the basis of the need to fulfil a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR (declaration of accession/membership) and the need to fulfil a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, in particular the obligation under Section 14 GenG to keep a register of members.

Duration of storage:
If membership of the cooperative does not materialise, the data from the declaration of membership will be deleted, provided that statutory retention or verification periods do not prevent deletion. After admission to the cooperative, the data will be stored for the duration of membership and beyond that if this is necessary due to legal obligations or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data:
The data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so.

Comments

When visitors post comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (which identifies the browser) to help detect spam.

An anonymised character string (also known as a hash) can be created from your email address and sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. You can find the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

By submitting and confirming by double-opt-in by e-mail, visitors agree that the personal data entered and disclosed by them (first and last name, address consisting of postcode, town, street incl. house/flat/flat number, date of birth, e-mail address and telephone) may be processed for the purpose of member administration, support and information.

Cookies

If you write a comment on our website, this can be a consent to save your name, e-mail address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that you don’t have to re-enter all this data when you write another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this website, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up some cookies to save your login information and display options. Login cookies expire after two days and cookies for display options after one year. If you select “Stay logged in” when you log in, your login will be maintained for a fortnight. When you log out of your account, the login cookies are deleted.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain any personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you have just edited. The cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics services

This website uses wp-statistics.com statistics to analyse visitor behaviour. Cookies are set for this purpose. IP addresses are anonymised before the data is saved. No external processing takes place. We use this data to optimise this website and our communication.

How long we store your data

When you post a comment, it is saved indefinitely, including metadata. This allows us to automatically recognise and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the user name cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and change this information.

What rights you have to your data

If you become a member with us, have an account on this website or have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data from us, including all data that you have provided to us. In addition, you can request the deletion of all personal data that we have stored about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be analysed by an automated spam detection service.
