Privacy policy
The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us. We make great efforts in technical, organizational and personnel terms to ensure a moderate and maximally secure handling of your personal data, about which we would like to inform you in more detail in this statement:
What is personal data?
The term "personal data" is defined in Art. 4 1 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as "information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person". This includes personal information such as name or email address, as well as surfing and communication behavior. Health data is defined by Article 9 of the GDPR as "special categories of personal data" - strict regulations apply to their processing.
Which (personal) data do we process?
- Cookies
- Contact details in business transactions
- Applicant data
- Patient data (first name, last name, date of birth, address, e-mail address, telephone number), as well as special categories of personal data - especially health data

In addition or alternatively, you can also use browser add-ons such as Ghostery (for all common browsers), Disconnect or Noscript (for Mozilla). Such tools give you transparency about which types of trackers are placed on each visited website and allow you to allow or prevent this individually.
If you delete or block cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of websites (e.g. preferences and language settings).
Please also note that by completely blocking cookies, the "cookie banner" appears with each page view and does not disappear permanently even when you click on "Agree", as the necessary cookie cannot be set.
The following cookies are set on the Radiology Center's website:
Google Analytics Cookies - As of January 21, 2022, Google Analytics is NO LONGER used on radiology-center.com.
Google Analytics collects the number of users and usage behavior on our website and sends this information to a server in the USA, where it is stored. This information can then be used for reports that inform us about the efficiency of our web strategy. As part of the IP anonymization on our website, your IP address is shortened before it is sent and is therefore not directly traceable to you. You can read more about how this data is handled in Google's privacy policy.
Legal basis:
- Legitimate interest: The analysis of the visit statistics of our website serves to optimize our content offer for our visitors. We use Google Analytics to measure which of our website contents are accessed for how long, from which countries and cities the users come and with which devices and browsers (e.g., iPhone, Android, Firefox, Chrome) they access the website. This is valuable information for us, so that we learn which contents are well received and with which devices and browsers our site is preferably used.
Deletion periods:
- The cookies set via Google Analytics are usually stored permanently
Recipient:
- The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization in Google Analytics. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Opt Out Option
- You are free to install the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics to prevent your data from being shared for processing.
- Alternatively, you can also use the options named under "block third party cookies" to block cookies and trackers.
ad 2. Contact information in business transactions - B2B
In the course of business initiation and transaction with our customers, we store contact data, contract data, order data, billing data, and correspondence.
Legal basis
- For existing customers, processing is necessary for the performance of the contract or pre-contractual measures.
- For potential customers, we rely on the legal basis of a legitimate interest in initiating business.
- In the context of invoicing services, we are obliged under the Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), the Corporate Code (UGB), and the Value Added Tax Act (UStG) to retain the data for the purpose of tax calculation, tax correction, and our accounting obligations. Without the provision of your data, we cannot comply with our obligations.
- Various legal regulations or ordinances result in obligations for us to retain data, such as:
- Poison Ordinance
- Medicinal Products Act (AMG)
- Pharmaceutical Operation Regulation (AMBO)
- Hospitals and Health Resorts Act (KAKuG)
- Tissue Safety Act (GSG)
- Chemicals Act (ChemG)
- Waste Management Act (AWG) in connection with the Waste Evidence Regulation (ANV)
- Medical Practitioners Act (ÄrzteG)
- General Radiation Protection Ordinance (AllgStrSchV)
Retention periods
- We store the data of existing customers as long as the business relationship is maintained. After termination, we keep the contact data as long as the aforementioned legal provisions provide for this (up to 30 years).
- All billing data will be retained in accordance with legally required retention periods (usually for 7 years) and will then be deleted or anonymized, unless the aforementioned special regulations stipulate a deviation from this.
Recipients:
- In addition to our internally authorized employees, only the billing data will be passed on to our tax consultancy (and thus to third parties).
ad 3. Applicants
We sometimes receive personal data from candidates in application letters and CVs. However, we also proactively approach potential employees who have been recommended to us, or whose profiles have stood out to us as promising on an online platform, for example. In addition to the contact information, professional experiences, skills, interests, and hobbies that we receive in the application letter and resume, from the first interview held at our location, we also record the status of the hiring phase and the first impressions we have gained.
Legal Basis
- In the case of applicants who send us their data themselves, the processing serves pre-contractual measures.
- Whenever we proactively approach potential employees, we act based on our legitimate interest in expanding our team with the best minds in the industry and making an attractive offer to applicants.
- In the best case, we come to an agreement and we are happy about the addition to our team. However, the profile does not always fit exactly to the currently available position, even if it is very interesting for us. In these cases, we ask the applicants for their consent to keep the data on file.
Retention periods
- If an employment relationship with potential employees does not materialize, the data will be kept for 6 months in order to be able to respond to any legal claims. Only with the consent of the applicants to keep the data on file, the data will be stored beyond this period, but no longer than until the consent is withdrawn.
Recipients:
- Only those internally responsible for recruiting and the relevant executives have access to data from applicants. Personal data from applicants is not passed on to third parties.
ad 4. Patient data and special categories of personal data (in particular health data)
We process your personal data or your health data (special category of personal data according to Article 9 GDPR) for the fulfillment of treatment contracts concluded with the respective responsible parties. This data is stored as long as we are legally obliged to do so. They are only passed on to the referring doctors, but without your explicit consent, they are not passed on to third parties or abroad.
Your rights regarding your personal data
You have the fundamental rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, and objection.
If we process your data based on your consent (for example, in the case of keeping records for future job opportunities), you can withdraw your consent at any time by simply sending us an email. The processing carried out until the withdrawal remains lawful.
You can reach us at office@radiology-center.com
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection laws or that your data protection rights have been infringed in any way, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, the competent authority is the Datenschutzbehörde (Data Protection Authority) in 1080 Wien, Wickenburggasse 8, Tel.: 01/52 152-0, dsb@dsb.gv.at.
