Privacy Policy
This privacy policy covers noyb.eu, support.noyb.eu and the noyb.eu newsletters.
(1) When you browse our main page https://noyb.eu
In brief: We provide you with this page, make sure it stays secure and get an anonymous statistic to see if we succeeded in doing so.
Purpose: We process your personal data for two purposes: (A) to provide this page to you (“traffic data” such as your IP address) and (B) to use your personal data for ensuring the security of the page.
Storage: (A) Traffic data is not stored. (B) Security log data (e.g. when the software identifies an “incident”) are deleted within 6 months, unless there is a particular reason to keep information for a longer period of time (e.g. individual IP addresses are blocked).
Legal Basis: (A) Your consent to receive our page and (B) our legitimate interests (for security reasons we process personal information, IP addresses, on this page) in maintaining the security of our page and fulfilling our legal duty to keep the page secure.
Processors: We only use trustworthy processors that only process your personal data on our behalf (“processors”) – our current hosting provider is Hetzner Online GmbH. The particular provider may be subject to change over time.
Other Recipients: Usually none. The only exception can be our external backend support (nycro UG, Hütten 118, 20355 Hamburg, Germany) that can have unavoidable access to information when solving technical issues.
Third Country Transfers: None. We process your data within the EEA/EU.
Cookies: We do not use cookies on noyb.eu.
Statistics: In addition to the processing above, we run a statistics system that does not process any personal data.
(2) Additional processing when you become a supporting member and use https://support.noyb.eu
In brief: In addition to the processing described under (1), we process the data that is necessary for managing your noyb membership, such as administering payments and mailings.
More Details: If you become a supporting member, we store the data you have provided in the online forms. We generate a member ID number once you join. We are also legally required to generate a timestamp recording when you join noyb as a member. If you join as a member we store your IP address for reasons of fraud prevention. We keep a record of any changes you make to your membership data to be able to manage the account. This data is only stored in order to manage your membership (the contract between us).
Purpose: The management of your membership and for regular updates via email.
Storage: All data is deleted, should you not complete the sign-up process (“timeout”). If you become a noyb member, your information is kept for the duration of your membership and you can change it at any time by logging in on https://support.noyb.eu/. If you terminate your membership Austrian accounting provisions require 7 years of bookkeeping. There may be other individual situations or exceptional legitimate interests (e.g. if you file a legal claim against us) that would require us to process your personal data furhter, but cannot be forseen.
Legal Basis: In order to enter into and continue performing the contract between our members and us, legal obligations resulting from your membership, and our legitimate interests.
Legitimate Interests: For reasons of fraud prevention we process personal information (IP addresses) and may process data in cases of legal disputes stemming from a membership.

Our bank (Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG, Am Belvedere 1, 1100 Wien, for SEPA payments) needs to receive the relevant transaction information if you choose SEPA payment.
Postal Service: If you do not opt-out from reciving a welcome gift, your address will be used to deliver the welcome gift via the postal service.
Other Recipients: Usually none. The only exceptions are (1) our external technical support (nycro UG, Hütten 118, 20355 Hamburg, Germany) that can have unavoidable access to information when solving technical issues and (2) the Austrian tax authority, but only if you choose that we report your membership fee or donation to have this deducted from your Austrian taxes.
