Contacting us
If you contact us using our online forms or via e-mail, the personal data you provide will only
be used for the purpose of handling your request. Your data will be stored for six months to
enable us to deal with any follow-up queries in case they arise. We will not transfer your data

contacts you, only the other way round. For more information regarding Microsoft cloud services,
please see the relevant section on “Microsoft Cloud Services” below.

Microsoft Cloud-Services
The Environment Agency Austria uses Microsoft cloud and Microsoft cloud services (so-called “software
as a service”, e.g. Microsoft Office, Microsoft Azure) for the following purposes:
storage and administration of documents, calendar hosting, the sending and receiving of e-mails,
spreadsheets calculation, presentations, exchanges of information, content or documents with
certain specified receivers, publishing of websites, templates or other content and information,
as well as chats and participation in audio/video conferences. All Microsoft cloud services used
by the Environment Agency Austria are operated in EU data centres within the geographical region
of Europe. The processing of personal data also takes place in EU data centres within the
geographical region of Europe.
Data centre locations in the geographical region of Europe are for example Austria, Finland, Ireland
and the Netherlands.
In the context of these processing operations, personal data relating to the respective users will
be processed insofar as they become content of the described services or are part of the communication
process.
These data can be user contact data, contract data, process data, or meta data for the relevant
documents.
Microsoft itself processes data on usage and meta data for security reasons and for service
optimisation. When you use publicly available documents, websites or other content, Microsoft
may store cookies on your computer for the purpose of web analysis or to store user settings.
We use Microsoft cloud services on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6
para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement
between the Environment Agency Austria and Microsoft.
Further information can be found in Microsoft's privacy statement (https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement)
and in the Microsoft cloud services security guidelines (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trust-center).
Microsoft cloud services are provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond,
WA 98052-6399 USA. If data processing is carried out in the United States of America, such
processing in accordance with Article 45 of the GDPR is legally possible under an Implementation
Decision of the European Commission based on Microsoft's Privacy Shield certification
(CELEX:32916D1250)
