**3. General Information and Mandatory Information**

**Data Protection**
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

**Notice Regarding the Responsible Entity**
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Be accepted GmbH
Vegagasse 4/2
1190 Vienna
Phone: +43 664 75106460
Email: office@be-accepted.com

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

**Storage Duration**
Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

**General Information on the Legal Bases of Data Processing on This Website**
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Data will be shared with third parties if necessary for the contractual processing.

**Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries**
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that no data protection level comparable to the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without the affected person being able to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

**Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing**
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

**Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as well as to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)**
**IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARAGRAPH 1 LETTER E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR SPECIAL SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING RELIES CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLAIMS UNDER LAW (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARAGRAPH 1 GDPR).**

**IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED TO CONDUCT DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS USED FOR SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARAGRAPH 2 GDPR).**

**Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority**
In the case of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

**Right to Data Portability**
You have the right to receive the data we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible entity, this will only take place to the extent technically feasible.

**Right to Information, Deletion, and Correction**
You have the right to free information at any time about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data within the framework of applicable statutory provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions related to personal data.

**Right to Restriction of Processing**
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
– If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the examination period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
– If the processing of your personal data was unlawful or is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer need your personal data but you need them to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
– If you have objected to processing according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance between your and our interests must be made. Until it is clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

**4. Data Collection on This Website**

**Cookies**
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Sometimes, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our site (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertisements.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar tracking technologies, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If cookies from third parties or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately about this within the framework of this privacy policy and may request consent.

**Contact Form**
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

**5. Newsletter**

**Newsletter Data**
If you want to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No other data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The consent given for storing the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example, via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider, or until the purpose of storing the data ceases (e.g., after canceling the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies). We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored on a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. Data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
