Business Purpose & Product

The operator's business comprises advertising and market communication, management consultancy and information technology (IT) services. As part of this activity, the operator develops and provides "EagleDesk", a multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for the Austrian temporary-agency-work sector (Arbeitskräfteüberlassung / staff leasing). The product supports personnel service providers in the lawful, structured and data-protection-compliant administration of their leased workers (Leiharbeiter).

EagleDesk is built around a security-by-design and privacy-by-design approach. It features per-tenant field-level encryption (CipherSweet/AEAD, with a separate key derived individually for each tenant), encrypted documents and employee photographs (AES-256), and blind-index search that allows querying encrypted data without exposing plaintext. An audit log without plaintext personal data, configurable retention periods with an automated deletion run, and a GDPR data-subject-access export support compliance with data-protection obligations. Access is governed by a roles-and-permissions model, secured by app-based two-factor authentication (TOTP), encrypted sessions and enforced HTTPS/TLS.

The application is hosted within the EU (Germany) and operated using Docker containers behind a Traefik reverse proxy, with TLS certificates issued via Let's Encrypt. The website itself sets only technically necessary session and CSRF cookies; it uses no tracking, no analytics and no newsletter functionality.

Applicable Professional and Trade Law Provisions

The operator's activities are subject, in particular, to the Austrian Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung – GewO) and the relevant trade-law authorisations for advertising and market communication, management consultancy and information technology. Where staff-leasing matters are concerned, the provisions of the Temporary Agency Work Act (Arbeitskräfteüberlassungsgesetz – AÜG) may additionally be relevant to our customers as the responsible employers.

Further key provisions include the Commercial Code (Unternehmensgesetzbuch – UGB), the E-Commerce Act (E-Commerce-Gesetz – ECG), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / DSGVO) together with the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz – DSG), and the Media Act (Mediengesetz – MedienG). These legal texts can be accessed free of charge in the Austrian Legal Information System (RIS) at www.ris.bka.gv.at.

Supervisory / Trade Authority & Chamber Membership

The competent trade-supervisory authority (Gewerbebehörde) is the District Administration of Vöcklabruck (Bezirkshauptmannschaft Vöcklabruck). The operator is bound by the applicable provisions of the Austrian Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act, which can be consulted in the Legal Information System at www.ris.bka.gv.at.

The operator is a member of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (Wirtschaftskammer Österreich – WKO), specifically in the professional groups for Advertising & Market Communication, Management Consultancy and Information Technology. As a chamber member, the operator is subject to the trade-law rules governing these activities.

Disclosure and Basic Editorial Direction pursuant to § 25 Media Act

Media owner and content provider of this website is Webagentur Hochmeir e.U., with the company details set out above. The owner / managing director is Jonathan Hochmeir; he holds 100% of the sole proprietorship. There are no shareholdings in other media undertakings or media services that would be subject to disclosure.

The basic editorial direction (Blattlinie) of this website is the provision of information about the "EagleDesk" product and its functions, as well as the presentation of the operator and its services. The website does not pursue any political or ideological orientation; it serves business-information and business-development purposes.

Allocation of Data-Protection Roles

With respect to its own website and the initiation of business relationships (business development), the operator acts as the controller within the meaning of Article 4(7) GDPR for the personal data processed in that context, in particular data contained in enquiries directed to us.

In the operation of the "EagleDesk" application, however, the operator processes the personal data of the leased workers entered by its customers (the personnel service providers) exclusively on the customers' behalf and on their documented instructions. In this respect the operator acts as a processor within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR; the customer remains the controller. The details are governed by a separate data processing agreement (DPA) concluded with each customer pursuant to Article 28(3) GDPR.

Liability for Content

As a service provider, the operator is responsible for its own content on these pages in accordance with the general statutory provisions and §§ 13 et seq. of the E-Commerce Act (ECG). The content has been prepared with the greatest possible care; nevertheless, no guarantee can be given as to its accuracy, completeness or topicality.

Pursuant to §§ 13 to 17 ECG, the operator is not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general statutes remain unaffected; any liability in this respect arises only from the point in time at which knowledge of a specific infringement is obtained. Upon becoming aware of any such infringements, the operator will remove the content concerned without undue delay.

Liability for Links

This website may contain links to external third-party websites over whose content the operator has no influence. The operator therefore cannot accept any liability for such external content. Responsibility for the content of linked pages always lies with the respective provider or operator of those pages.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal infringements at the time the link was created, and no unlawful content was discernible at that time. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is, however, not reasonable in the absence of concrete indications of an infringement. Upon becoming aware of any legal infringements, the operator will remove such links without undue delay.

Copyright & Image Credits

The content and works created by the operator on these pages are subject to Austrian copyright law (Urheberrechtsgesetz – UrhG). Reproduction, processing, distribution and any form of exploitation beyond the limits of copyright law require the prior written consent of the operator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted only for private, non-commercial use.

Insofar as the content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected; in particular, third-party content is identified as such. The graphics, logos and product depictions used in connection with "EagleDesk" originate from the operator or are used with the appropriate authorisation. Should you nevertheless become aware of any copyright infringement, the operator requests a corresponding notice and will remove the affected content without undue delay.

Data Sources

Postcode, place and coordinate data for Austria and Germany (postcode reference, place lookup and radius search in the "EagleDesk" application): GeoNames (www.geonames.org), licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). An extract (postcode, place, federal state, district, coordinates) is imported into the application's own reference table; duplicate entries for the same postcode and place are merged in the process. The data is used solely to assign a place and federal state to a postcode and to calculate approximate distances.

Distances are calculated locally on our own servers as straight lines between postcodes; no addresses or other personal data are transmitted to GeoNames or any other external service. GeoNames provides the data without any warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Applicable Law & Place of Jurisdiction

This website and the legal relationships arising from its use are governed exclusively by Austrian law, to the exclusion of its conflict-of-laws rules and of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the state in which a consumer has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

For disputes with business clients (entrepreneurs within the meaning of the UGB), the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the court with subject-matter jurisdiction for the registered seat of the operator. For consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

Consumer Dispute Resolution

The operator is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. This information is provided in order to comply with the statutory disclosure requirements; it does not constitute a commitment to take part in such proceedings.

Reference to Separate Privacy Policy & Right of Withdrawal

Detailed information on the processing of personal data, on the legal bases for processing, on retention periods and on your rights as a data subject (in particular the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority) is set out in our separate Privacy Policy.

Information on a statutory right of withdrawal, where applicable, for consumers in the case of distance and off-premises contracts is provided in our separate Withdrawal Instructions (Widerrufsbelehrung). The provisions set out there take precedence over this Legal Notice with respect to their specific subject matter.
