Privacy policy

WOS Kulturbetrieb GmbH, Leystraße 43, 1200 Vienna, Austria · Email: office@opernsommer.at

We take the protection of your personal data seriously and process it exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (GDPR, the Austrian Data Protection Act DSG and the Telecommunications Act TKG 2021). In this statement we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on this website.

This website sets no cookies for analytics or advertising purposes and does not embed any external tracking, advertising or social media services. Fonts and images are loaded exclusively from our own server – no data is transferred to third parties (such as Google Fonts). A cookie banner is therefore not required.

When you visit this website, our hosting provider processes technically necessary data (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser type, referrer) in order to deliver the website and ensure secure operation. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The log data is deleted automatically after a short time unless it is needed to investigate a security incident. A data processing agreement is in place with the hosting provider.

To understand which content is in demand, we count page views with our own cookie-free statistics on our server. Only the page requested, the date and, where applicable, the domain of the referring website are stored – no IP addresses, no device identifiers, no profiles. It is not possible to draw conclusions about individuals. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving our offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address and the time of sign-⁠up and confirmation. We use the double opt-⁠in procedure: your address is only added to the mailing list once you click the confirmation link in the email. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe link in every issue or by email to office@opernsommer.at; your data will then be deleted. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted automatically after 30 days.

For ticket sales we forward you to the ticket shop of our ticket partner Fever. The data entered when buying tickets is processed directly by Fever; Fever’s privacy notice, available in the ticket shop, applies. Gift vouchers are handled via the voucher shop at tickets.opernsommer.at.

If you contact us by email, we process your details in order to deal with your enquiry and any follow-⁠up questions (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). We do not pass this data on without your consent.

Our website contains links to external websites (e.g. the ticket shop, media reports, social media profiles). Data is only transferred to the respective provider when you click on them; the respective provider alone is responsible for its data processing.

In principle you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection. You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you can complain to us (office@opernsommer.at) or to the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at).
