2. IP ADDRESS

The IP address is transmitted on every server request to let the server know where the response has to be sent. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gives you an IP address as soon as you connect to the Internet, and the ISP can retrace which IP address was assigned to which of its customers at any given time. For as long as the IP address is saved, it is theoretically possible to identify the owner of the Internet connection via the ISP. For this reason, we and our statistics providers do not save the IP address permanently but only temporarily for session recognition and for security reasons (for example to ward off hacker attacks). The IP address is then immediately deleted, so that any collected data are made anonymous and it is no longer possible to identify the user, not even via the ISP.

Protecting privacy and safeguarding your personal data is very important to us.

All data applications operated by NOVOMATIC AG comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR for short) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG for short) as well as other industry-specific regulations. In accordance with Art. 5 para. 1 of the GDPR, all employees are obliged to process your personal data lawfully, in good faith and in a manner that can be understood by you, and to comply with the rules on data confidentiality as defined in Section 6 of the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG).

Compliance with the data protection and data security regulations is guaranteed across the entire Group by the following binding measures:

• Privacy Concept
• Privacy Policy
• Privacy Program
• Privacy Management System

5.2. Privacy Concept

The Privacy Concept lays down the desired level of data protection security (the protection requirements) as defined by the legal representatives of the NOVOMATIC AG. This serves as the basis for the development of the demands on Privacy Policy and on the continuous privacy improvement process within the entire NOVOMATIC AG.

5.3. Privacy Policy

On account of the assessment of privacy-related processes and the relevant data protection legislation, a written Privacy Policy was drawn up for the NOVOMATIC AG to serve as a basis for the implementation of the Privacy Program and the establishment of the Privacy Management System.

5.4. Privacy Program

As part of the Privacy Program, data protection goals are continuously being specified and the measures to be implemented are defined in the form of a work program and provided with corresponding implementation deadlines.

5.5. Privacy Management System

The Privacy Management System defines the rules, policies, measures, resources, methods, responsibilities, procedures and organization structures for implementing and monitoring the Privacy Program.

Modeled on the international standards ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2017, our Privacy Policy was designed along the lines of the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) model to achieve continuous improvement.

5.6. Processing activities

In accordance with Article 30 GDPR, NOVOMATIC AG maintains a so-called "record of processing activities" in which the data applications operated by NOVOMATIC AG as well as the relevant processing activities are documented.
