This website is operated by INTERSPORT AUSTRIA Gesellschaft m.b.H. (FN 101648h), hereinafter referred to as “we“, “us“ and “INTERSPORT“, with registered office in 4600 Wels, Flugplatzstrasse 10, Austria. As Data Controller in accordance with Art. 4 (7) of the GDPR, we describe in this Data Privacy Notice which data we collect from you when you visit our website and for which purposes we process such data (Point A. of this privacy policy).
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We strictly adhere to the statutory provisions as set forth in the Data Protection Act and the GDPR when collecting and processing your personal data.
In the following, we inform you in detail about the scope and purpose of our data processing as well as your rights as data subject. Therefore, please read our Data Privacy Notice thoroughly before you continue using our website and provide your consent to data processing if applicable.
For all relevant contact data, please refer to point 12. of this Data Privacy Notice.
A. Data Proccessing on our website
1. Personal data
In general, you can use our website without disclosing any personal data. However, the use of individual services can be subject to deviating provisions which we will point out to you separately. If you wish to use our booking and lending services, it will, in particular, be necessary to provide us with certain data for this purpose.
Thus - apart from the cookies described in detail hereinafter - we generally only collect and store such data which you provide to us yourself by entering them into our input screen or through any other active interaction with our website.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your address, telephone number or date of birth, but also any items and services that you book through our booking platform.
2. Use of cookies
2.1. In case of a merely informative use of our website, i.e. if you do not use any of our services or transfer information in any other way to us, we will only collect personal data that your browser transfers to our server. If you wish to visit our website, we will collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (f) of the GDPR:
- IP address
- date and time of the request
- time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- content of the request
- access status / http status code
- the transferred data volume
- website from which the request originates
- browser used
- operating system and its interface
- language and version of the browser software
2.2. In addition to the above-mentioned data, cookies will be stored on your computer when you use our website; these are small text files that are stored on your hard disk as assigned by the browser that you use and which allow the entity placing the cookies (in this case, us), to transfer certain information. On the one hand, we need these cookies to recognise you as a user of the website and on the other hand, to be able to make the bookings that you place through the shopping basket while using our services transparent.
A basic distinction can be made between first party cookies, third party cookies and third party requests.
- First party cookies
First party cookies are stored in your browser by us or our website itself in order to offer you the best possible user experience. These are functional cookies in particular, such as our shopping cart cookies.
- Third party cookies
Third-party cookies are stored in your browser by a third-party provider. These are usually tracking or marketing tools that, on the one hand, evaluate your user behaviour and, on the other hand, enable the third-party provider to recognize you on other websites you visit. Retarget marketing is based on the function of these cookies.
- Third party requests
Third party requests are all requests that you as a site user make to third parties via our site - for example, if you interact with social network plugins or use the services of a payment provider. In this case, no cookies are stored in your browser, but it cannot be ruled out that personal data will be sent to this third-party provider as a result of the interaction. For this reason, we also inform you in detail in our privacy policy about the tools and applications we use.
2.3. Our website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
- Transient cookies
Transient cookies will automatically be deleted when you close your browser. This includes, in particular, session cookies that store a so-called session ID with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This will allow your computer to be recognised if you return to our website, and these session cookies will be deleted when you log out or close the browser.
- Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies will be deleted automatically after a pre-defined period, which can be different depending on the cookie. However, you may delete the cookies in your browser settings at any time.
2.4. You have the option to change your browser settings in a way in which you will, for example, be able to reject the acceptance of third party cookies or of all cookies. However, we have to notify you that in such a case, you may no longer be able to use all functions of our website.
2.5. We also use cookies on our website so as to be able to identify you on any subsequent visits, if you have an account with us - otherwise you need to newly log in for each visit.
2.6. On our website, we also use so-called local storage functions (also called "local data"). This means that data is stored locally in the cache of your browser, which continues to exist and can be read even after you close the browser - as long as you do not delete the cache or data is stored within the session storage.
Third parties cannot access the data stored in the local storage. If special plug-ins or tools use the local storage functions, you are informed within the description of the respective plug-in or tool.
If you do not wish plug-ins or tools to use local storage functions, you can control this in the settings of your respective browser. We would like to point out that this may result in functional restrictions.
3. Collection and processing of personal data & storage period
We use any personal data that we collect through the above-mentioned cookies or by your explicit provision for the purpose of maintaining our website services, to enable the bookings you make through our booking tools and, subsequently, for direct marketing purposes. While certain data you provide on our booking tool will be collected for the purpose of taking steps prior to entering into a contract or for the performance of a contract, we process data to maintain our services and for marketing purposes on the basis of our legitimate interest.
In certain tools it is possible that you provide us with data and grant consent for an intended data processing, but, in such case, we will give you a separate notice. Otherwise, we will use the personal data provided by you exclusively to fulfil the purpose of processing indicated in each case, e.g. to send advertising and information material to existing customers by observing the TKG [Telecommunications Act], as well as for the initiation and processing of purchases and reservations via our web store.
The purpose of the processing of your data is (in this connection), essentially, the operation of our website and the targeted provision of company-specific information, including the presentation of goods and services we offer (marketing). Any further use of your data only takes place to the extent that you provided us with your prior and express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future - as set forth in more detail below.
In general, we store data which you provided us with only for customer support or for marketing and information purposes, until expiry of five years after our last communication. However, we will erase your data before expiry of such period if you so request to the extent this is not prevented by applicable statutory provisions.
In the event of a contract initiation or conclusion, we will process your personal data after the full performance of the contract until the expiry of the guarantee, warranty, limitation and statutory retention periods to which we are subject, and until conclusion of any legal disputes for which we need the data as legal evidence.
4. INTERSPORT Rent
We use this reservation platform together with our contractual partners, the INTERSPORT dealers, whom you can search for and select at https://www.intersportrent.at/en/locations.
When we reserve sporting goods for you, it is necessary to collect some personal data, such as your contact details and details of your weight, height, shoe size and riding skills, as well as details of those travelling with you who are also making a reservation. Such information is necessary to tailor sporting goods to your needs in advance of your on-site reservation and to provide you with the greatest possible comfort and safety. You are welcome to contact our sites directly if you do not wish to provide such information on our website.
After your reservation request has been made in our system and forwarded to the respective INTERSPORT retailer, a contractual relationship is usually established between you and the specific local rental company, over which we have no further influence. Depending on the choice of retailer, you can pay for the selected products via one of our payment providers.
After successful completion of the reservation and, if applicable, payment, we transmit the data entered in our system to the respective cooperation partner selected by you or automatically involved in the course of processing according to the favourability principle, who ultimately carries out the fine-tuning and handover of the reserved goods on-site. If data is transferred to Switzerland in this context, we base this transfer on the adequacy decision of the European Commission
It is possible that we not only collect this data from you on www.intersportrent.at ourselves and update it in the process but also via your details on other platforms such as www.intersportrent.de, www.intersportrent.ch, www.intersportrent.it, www.intersportrent.com or via cooperation partners from the B2B sector, via partners from our affiliate programme or travel providers cooperating with us (https://www.intersportrent.at/en/cooperations).
We process the personal data that you provide in the course of the reservation process ourselves for the duration of any statutory retention periods, but in any case for five years. We also do this in your interest, in order to be able to offer you the products you have used and hopefully found to be good, such as skis, ski boots or other sports equipment, again in the configuration suitable for you in any subsequent reservations.
5. Use of your data for direct marketing purposes
When you visit our site or use our reservation service locally at one of our contractual partners, we collect some personal data, which we also process for legitimate interest to analyse your user behaviour and send you customised direct advertising.
In any case, as part of our marketing activities, we take care to advertise in a targeted and tailored manner. Accordingly, through the applications described in our cookie banner and our marketing, we record which customers and prospects are interested in which products and how often they actually enter into a contractual relationship with us. Influenced by this, we also coordinate advertising measures in order, for example, to inform regular customers more frequently about our product range. On the other hand, we select the content and scope of advertising measures for occasional interested parties according to other aspects.
We use the data provided by you and generated via Google Analytics to subsequently inform you, on the one hand, about possible upgrades to your previous reservation (e.g., further possible equipment components) or to send you other tailored advertisements based on your usage behaviour.
You can find information about the analytics and marketing tools used under section 8 of this privacy policy.
6. Newsletter
You have the option to subscribe to our free newsletter. With this newsletter, you can regularly receive all the latest news and information about our company and tailored advertising on the sports articles available at our stores and our locations.
You can only sign up for a newsletter once you have created an optional customer account. As a new customer, after submitting your reservation request you will receive an e-mail informing you that you can open a customer account. If you wish to open a customer account, you can initiate this by clicking on the activation link contained in the e-mail. Subsequently, you can confirm the account activation. Once you have opened a customer account, you can then sign up for newsletters by agreeing to receive them. When you first register for the newsletter, we save the date and time of your registration in order to be prepared for security reasons in the event that a third party misuses your e-mail address and subscribes to our newsletter without your knowledge. No other data is collected or processed by us for the newsletter subscription; the data is used exclusively for the subscription of the newsletter.
Unless you object, we will transmit your data within our group and to the sites cooperating with us for the purpose of analysing your user behaviour and, based on this, to send you information for advertising purposes. Within the group of companies, the data that you provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be matched with data that we may collect elsewhere (e.g., when you purchase a product or book a service) in order to enable customised advertising.
This linkage is essentially also carried out via cookies, which are stored in our system depending on how you react to our newsletter. These provide us with information about which contents and articles of our newsletter were particularly interesting for the recipients and should therefore be promoted as a service in the interest of our customers in the future.
The data collected and linked in this way is managed by us in a central customer database maintained by INTERSPORT and used as part of an individualised campaign management system "DynaCampaign" to plan, control and implement (partially) automated and customised marketing campaigns.
Your newsletter registration data will not be passed on to third parties who do not belong to our group of companies or are connected with us in the course of a franchise agreement. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. You will find information on how to unsubscribe in your customer account and in each individual newsletter. Please note that for technical reasons it may take up to 48 hours for the deregistration to take effect.
7. Data transfer to the USA
We occasionally offer some services in the course of which data is or may be transferred to the USA. The transfer of data to the USA has always led to legal challenges in recent years. There are several legal bases for a legally compliant data transfer to the USA, whereby we generally rely on two different legal bases:
Data transfer based on the existence of an adequacy decision:
On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted a new adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR for the USA - namely the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
However, this adequacy decision only applies to those data importers in the USA that are registered on the Data Privacy Framework List (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search).
We check for each of our service providers who are to receive personal data in the USA as data importers whether they are registered on the Data Privacy Framework List. If this is the case, this is stated in our privacy policy for the respective service provider.
You can find the EU Commission's press release on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Network at: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_3721.
Consent:
However, if a data importer is not registered in the Data Privacy Framework List, it is necessary - unless there is another justification, such as the fulfilment of contractual obligations - that you consent to the use of your data collected via these services, including in the USA (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
This is because we are not yet able to assess how jurisdiction will develop as a result of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Network. We collect this consent - depending on the service - via our cookie banner or separately by means of a corresponding declaration of consent directly before using a service offered.
Your consent is required as, according to the most recent official and court decisions and the case law of the ECJ, the USA is not recognised as having an adequate level of data protection when processing personal data (C-311/18, Schrems II). These official and court decisions are particularly critical of the fact that access by US authorities (FISA 0702) is not comprehensively restricted by law, does not require authorisation by an independent body and there are no relevant legal remedies available to those affected in the event of such interventions.
Apart from the contracts concluded with US service providers, we have no direct influence on the access of US authorities to personal data that is transferred to service providers in the USA when using these services. Even if we assume that our service providers take the necessary steps to guarantee the promised level of protection in accordance with the contractual agreements concluded with us, access by US authorities to data processed in the USA is nevertheless conceivable.
We therefore request your consent to the processing of data in the USA before using such services. We will point out separately for each service or application that there is a possibility of data being transferred to the USA. that there is a possibility of data transfer to the USA.
8. Tools and applications used
8.1. Links to other websites
Our website also contains links to other websites such as our affiliate partners, our locations and other cooperation partners. These links are made available to you for information purposes only, insofar as there is no joint responsibility for the reservation portal. All of these third-party websites are not under our control and are therefore not subject to the provisions of this privacy policy. If you activate a link, the operator of such website may collect data on you and process them in accordance with their data privacy notice, which may deviate from ours. We accept no liability whatsoever for any damage arising from your use of third-party websites or the information and materials contained therein. Access to and use of third-party websites is at your own risk. We therefore recommend that you carefully read the data protection guidelines of every website you visit.

We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our websites to their full extent. Based on the web analysis and marketing tools described below and used by us, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server with your consent. We have no influence on the scope of the information transmitted in this context and the further use of the data by Google. The scope and purposes of the processing known to us are described in the respective tools.
Google also processes your data in the USA. Before you give your consent to the storage of cookies through the use of Google, please read the relevant information in our privacy policy. Google LLC is registered in the Data Privacy Framework List.

Google Ireland Limited is the data controller for the processing of information used to train Google AI models for use in services provided by Google Ireland Limited in the European Economic Area or Switzerland.
Google also processes personal data in the USA, which is why we have concluded the so-called Standard Contract Clauses (SCC) with Google, which have been approved by the European Commission for international data exchange. This means that we fulfill the so-called appropriate guarantees required for a third country transfer (outside the EU) of data.The basis for these clauses is based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. Both this decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses can be found at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
8.2.1. Google Analytics
The cookies used in this process generate information about your use of this website and are usually transferred to a Google server and stored there.
Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
The storage of cookies required by Google Analytics can be prevented by our cookie banner or by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, this may result in you not being able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

8.2.2. Google Tag Manager
We use the service Google Tag Manager on our website. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
When the Tag Manager is started, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers, which are mainly situated in the US. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
You can find out exactly where Google data centers are located here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/
Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface. This enables us to embed code snippets such as tracking codes or conversion pixels into our website without interfering with the source code. In this process, Tag Manager data is only transferred, it is neither collected nor stored. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data, because it is used solely to manage other services used on our website based on our legitimate interest according to Art 6 paragraph 1 lit f GDPR. The Tag Manager triggers other tags which in turn collect data under specific circumstances. However, the Tag Manager has no access to this data. If you have chosen to deactivate cookies on our site in general or to deactivate specific cookies, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags that are implemented using the Tag Manager.
To prevent this service, you can install a JavaScript blocker. However, this may result in the website no longer functioning as usual.

8.2.3. Google Maps
We use the services of Google Maps on our website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on our website to show you the locations of our stores and contractual partners and to enable you to make a quick selection.
Each time the “Google Maps” component is called up, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when the page on which the “Google Maps” component is integrated is displayed. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand. When you visit our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subsite of our website, and the personal data listed under point 1. This takes place regardless of whether you are logged in via a Google account or not. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish this to happen, you must log out of Google before using this service. Google uses your data for the purposes of advertising, market research and needs-based website design. You have the right to object to the use of your data in this regard, which must be addressed directly to Google.

8.2.4 YouTube
On our website we use the service „YouTube“ to give you an interactive word of advice for a varied and unforgettable holiday. Using this tool allows us to show you to watch videos conveniently without leaving our website.
YouTube is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland ("YouTube").
Normally, your IP address is sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer when you access a page with embedded videos. However, we have embedded our YouTube videos with the extended data protection mode - in this case, YouTube still contacts Google's Double-Click service, but according to Google's privacy policy, personal data is not evaluated. As a result, YouTube no longer stores any information about visitors unless you watch the video. If you click on the video, your IP address is transmitted to YouTube and YouTube learns that you have watched the video. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information will also be assigned to your user account. You can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before watching the video.
However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not excluded by the extended data protection mode. We have no knowledge of and no influence on the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. You can find more information in YouTube's privacy policy at http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy. We also refer you to our general description in this privacy policy for the general handling and deactivation of cookies.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). YouTube also uses local storage on your device (see section 2.6.). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent attempts at fraud.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time for the future.

8.2.5. Google Ads
The service Google Ads is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google") and is used on this website for the purpose of analyzing, optimizing and economically operating our online offering.
Google Ads is Google's in-house online advertising system.It is important for us to know whether an interested visitor ultimately becomes our customer. In order to be able to measure this, there is the so-called "conversion tracking". Furthermore, we would like to be able to address visitors to our website again and in a targeted manner. We achieve this through so-called "remarketing (retargeting)".
Google Ads is used for both "conversion tracking" and "remarketing", i.e. we can see what happened after you clicked on one of our ads. In order for this service to work, cookies are used and visitors are sometimes added to remarketing lists in order to be served only with certain advertising campaigns.
Our aim is to use Google Ads to target the offer of our website to those visitors who are actually interested in our offer. The data from "conversion tracking" enables us to measure the benefit of individual advertising measures and optimise our website for our visitors.
When you visit our website, Google receives the information that you accessed our website and will place cookies. Your data will, in this context, also be transferred to the USA and analysed there. If you are logged in to your Google account, your data can directly be assigned to it. If you do not want the data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out.
We have no influence on how Google uses the data. According to information from Google, however, the data is stored in encrypted form on secure servers.
Participation in conversion tracking by Google Ads is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

This website uses Userlike, live chat software produced by the company Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany. You can use Userlike to chat with our support employees in real-time. At the start of the chat, the following personal data is collected:
- Date and time of the chat,
- Browser type/version,
- IP address,
- Operating system used,
- URL of the previously visited website,
- Amount of data sent. And if provided by you: first name, surname, and e-mail address.
Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, further personal data may be provided by you in the chat. The nature of this information depends heavily on your request or the problem you are describing.
By accessing the intersportrent.at and accepting the statistic cookies, the chat widget is loaded as a JavaScript file from AWS Cloudfront. The chat widget technically represents the source code executed on your computer that enables the chat.
In addition, we store the history of live chats. The purpose of this is to save our customers from having to go through a long history of requests, and for us to constantly monitor the quality of our live chat service. Processing is permitted pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Book f, GDPR. If you do not wish your live chat history to be stored, please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact details listed below. Stored live chats and any other of your data will then be deleted by us immediately.
The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted under Art. 6 Para. 1 Book f, GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of the data provided in the chat is also Art. 6 Para. 1 Books b and f, GDPR.
Further information can be found in the Data processing terms of Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt).
8.6. WebCare
In order to obtain consent for the use of cookies on our website in accordance with data protection regulations, we use the Consent Banner of DataReporter WebCare. This is a service provided by DataReporter GmbH, Zeileisstraße 6, 4600 Wels, Austria ("DataReporter").
More information about this company can be found at www.datareporter.eu. The Consent Banner records and stores the consent to cookie use for the respective user of our website. Our Consent Banner ensures that statistical and marketing cookies are only set when the user has given his express consent to their use.
We store information on the extent to which the user has confirmed the use of cookies. The user's decision can be revoked at any time by calling up the setting for cookies and managing the declaration of consent. Existing cookies will be deleted after revocation of the consent. A cookie is also set to store information on the status of the user's consent, which is indicated in the cookie details. Furthermore, the IP address of the respective user is transmitted to DataReporter's server for calling this service. The IP address is neither stored nor associated with any other data of the user, it is only used for the correct execution of the service.

WebCare Consent Conserve:
On our website, we have activated the WebCare Consent Conserve function. The provider of this service is DataReporter GmbH, Zeileisstraße 6, 4600 Wels, Austria ("DataReporter").
The WebCare Consent Conserve function enables us both to prove the consent of users of our website via our Consent Banner and to make the users' personal consent history transparent and traceable.
This function generates a unique Consent ID for each user and records every action concerning consent or revocation via our Consent Banner in connection with the Consent ID. The history of the user's decisions is stored in a protected memory area and can be viewed by the user at any time. For us as the website operator, an assignment of a history to a specific person can only take place after knowledge of the respective Consent ID.
Each action via the Consent Banner of a user is stored for 60 days and then automatically deleted. The storage location for the Consent ID is Frankfurt / Germany (EU). No logs are kept on the server that store the IP or other personal data, except for the Consent ID and the data on the actions.
The use of this function is due to our documentation and accountability obligations according to Art 5 GDPR. We assume that these obligations to provide evidence regarding the consent of data subjects will also be strengthened in view of the expected ePrivacy Regulation in the online sector.
More information on this function can be found in the provider's help section at: https://help.datareporter.eu/docs/webcare/webcare_consent_conserve/

WebCare Statistics:
We have activated the WebCare Statistics function on our website. The provider of this service is DataReporter GmbH, Zeileisstraße 6, 4600 Wels, Austria ("DataReporter").

The statistics only record whether the Consent Banner was opened and which actions were carried out (purposes of consent, revocation). Only statistical data and no activities related to the specific user are stored. The visitor's IP address is only used for the purpose of the connection and is completely deleted after the connection is terminated.
The use of the WebCare statistics function is based on our legitimate interest in reviewing the performance of our Consent Banner and the related user-friendliness and accessibility of our online offer.
The statistical data is stored for 30 days, older data is automatically deleted.
