3.Collection of general data and information
The website of INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH collects a range of general data and information each time you visit the website or an automated system does so. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following data may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH does not draw any conclusions about your person when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH for statistical purposes and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
4.Registration on our website
You have the option of registering on the website of INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH by providing personal data.
This establishes a contractual relationship that remains in effect until terminated. Your data will be stored until the contractual relationship is terminated.
The personal data transmitted to INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use at INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH. INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH.
When you register on the website of INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH, the IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offences to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of your personal data, which you provide voluntarily, enables INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH to offer you content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH database.
5.Subscription to our newsletter
The personal data transmitted to INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
You can only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) you have a valid email address and (2) you register for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you entered for the first time for the newsletter distribution using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that you, as the owner of the email address, have authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system you used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any (possible) misuse of your email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH.
The personal data collected when you subscribe to the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH or notify INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH in another way.
The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing until revocation.
6.Newsletter tracking
The newsletters from INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH can recognise whether and when an email has been opened by you and which links in the email have been clicked on by you.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to tailor the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. You are entitled to revoke your separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH. INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as revocation.
The storage period is until the termination of the free contractual relationship.
7.Contact option via the website
Due to legal regulations, the website of INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH by e-mail or via a contact form, your transmitted personal data will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted by you to INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.
The storage period is until the termination of the free contractual relationship.

INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH has integrated components from the company Facebook into this website.
The operating company of Facebook is Meta Platforms, Inc. (‘Meta’), 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If you live outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grands Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, your internet browser is automatically prompted to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Meta’s IT system. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Meta receives information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.
If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Meta recognises every time you visit our website and, for the entire duration of your visit to our website, which specific subpage of our website you are visiting. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to your Facebook account. If you click on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, such as the ‘Like’ button, or if you post a comment, Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Meta always receives information via the Facebook component that you have visited our website if you are logged into Facebook at the same time as visiting our website; this happens regardless of whether you click on the Facebook component or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to Meta, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your Facebook account before visiting our website.
The privacy policy published by Meta, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Meta. It also explains the settings options Meta offers to protect your privacy. In addition, various applications are available that allow you to suppress data transmission to Meta, such as the Facebook blocker from the provider Webgraph, which can be obtained at http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/. You can use such applications to prevent data from being transferred to Meta.
As Meta’s headquarters are located in the USA, data may be transferred to the USA. The adequate level of protection for transfers to the USA is ensured by Meta’s membership of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
10.Data protection provisions regarding the use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Alphabet Inc. (‘Google’), 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH uses the add-on ‘_gat._anonymizeIp’ for web analysis via Google Analytics. This suffix is used by Google to shorten and anonymise your IP address when you access our website from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by INiTS Universitäres Gründerservice Wien GmbH and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, your internet browser on the information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
As described above, you can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of your Internet browser accordingly and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, you have the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to your use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, you must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information relating to visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If your IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, you must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by you or another person within your sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policies can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
