This privacy statement is for information purposes only.
The companies of the ASFINAG Group take data protection and confidentiality very seriously and adhere to the current national and European data protection regulations.
Use of the ASFINAG Group’s whistleblowing system can result in the processing of the personal data of the whistleblower, the person who is affected by the report and those persons who are affected by or involved in the follow-up measures. This privacy statement informs the data subjects of processing activities in this regard.
Please carefully read the data protection information before submitting a report.
The relevant company in the ASFINAG Group that has received the report shall be the data controller, as defined in Art 4(7) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), for the processing activities that take place in connection with reports made via the electronic whistleblowing system.
The ASFINAG Group consists of the following companies:
Depending on the situation (for example, in the case of conflicts of interest), Autobahnen- und Schnellstraßen-Finanzierungs-AG may process a report relating to another company in the ASFINAG Group. In this case, it shall also be the data controller.
The direct contact persons for issues relating to data protection law are ASFINAG’s data protection officers, who can be contacted at datenschutz@asfinag.at.
The electronic whistleblowing system allows for concerns regarding violations of ethical principles, misconduct and unlawful activities to be reported anonymously or while disclosing one’s identity. In the case of such a report, personal data of the person who is reporting a concern (the whistleblower), the person or persons affected by the report and the persons who are affected by or involved in any follow-up measures may be processed.
Use of the electronic whistleblowing system regularly results in the processing of the following data:
Use of the electronic whistleblowing system is voluntary. The whistleblower is neither legally nor contractually obliged to provide us with these data. However, the whistleblowing system cannot be used without entering the data marked as mandatory into the report form. We are not able to contact the whistleblower without contact data being entered (for example, to confirm receipt of the report, ask follow-up questions or collect more information).
The processing of these data serves the purpose of fulfilling the obligations under the Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act (HinweisgeberInnenschutzgesetz - “HschG”) as well as to allow for reports to be received via the electronic whistleblowing system, to assess their validity and to enable their further processing and thereby prevent, investigate and, where necessary, prosecute any potential legal violations, prevent harm and protect our company, employees and business partners.
No data shall be transmitted to third countries.
Personal data that are not relevant for the processing of a report or for the purposes of data processing will not be collected. If data are collected unintentionally, such data shall be erased without delay.
We are legally required to retain personal data for a five-year period from the final time it is processed or transmitted; retention may also be required beyond this period for as long as necessary to carry out administrative or judicial proceedings that have already been initiated or investigative proceedings under the Austrian Code of Criminal Procedure (Strafprozessordnung). After the retention obligation has expired, we shall erase these data.
Furthermore, we must retain log data regarding processing procedures that were carried out in the course of case management for three more years after the final time it was processed or transmitted.
The data processing in connection with the operation of the electronic whistleblowing system relates to the legal authorisations and obligations pursuant to Section 8 of the Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(c) and (e), Art. 9(2)(g) and Art. 10 GDPR.
Should the data processing exceed our legal authorisations or obligations, it shall take place on the basis of our legitimate interest in the reporting and detection of company-related irregularities (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Art. 10 GDPR in conjunction with Section 4(3) of the Austrian Data Protection Act).
The GDPR grants the rights described below to persons who are subject to the data processing described above. To assert these rights please contact us via the contact details set out in the attachment.
Restriction of the rights of the data subjects
According to Section 8(9) of the Austrian Whistleblower Protection Act, the rights of the person affected by the report to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and to object do not apply as long as and to the extent that this is necessary to protect the identity of the whistleblower or another person protected under the Austrian Whistleblower Protection and to fulfil the above aims (particularly to prevent attempts to prevent, undermine or delay reports or follow-up measures relating to reports). This applies in particular for the duration of administrative or judicial proceedings as well as investigative proceedings under the Austrian Code of Criminal Procedure.
