Privacy Policy of the Austrian Water Rescue

The Austrian Water Rescue (ÖWR) considers the protection of your personal data a special concern and takes your data protection very seriously. The ÖWR therefore treats your personal data confidentially and exclusively on the basis of legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). This privacy policy informs you about how the ÖWR processes data collected by it. It is expressly pointed out that data transmission on the Internet can generally be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed with absolute certainty despite the utmost care. However, without electronic data processing, the ÖWR would no longer be able to fulfill the tasks assigned to it.
