Data protection provisions about the application and use of WhatsApp as a means of communication

The controller uses WhatsApp as a means of communication between employees, customers, business partners, shareholders and steakholders. WhatsApp is a widely used application that can be used to chat, make phone calls and send voice messages, among other things. The operating company of the service is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. We use the WhatsApp marketing tool from the company chatarmin.com, based in Vienna, Austria. The purpose of the processing is to handle operational communication.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. WhatsApp is used to handle communication. WhatsApp stores personal communication data and itself accesses personal data, in particular the phone book of mobile devices, more precisely: all phone numbers of the persons stored in the phone are read out.

The communication processed via WhatsApp, the telephone numbers collected and all other data are or could be transmitted to third parties, in particular Facebook or other companies as well as American or international secret services. If you do not want us to store your phone number in one of our mobile devices and/or communicate with you via WhatsApp, please simply inform us.

In such a case, we would of course use alternative means of communication (e.g. telephone call). Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of WhatsApp can be found at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy

Further information about our WhatsApp software can be found on the Chatarmin website.
