Use of an AI-supported processing system for order and invoice processing

For the efficient and error-reduced capture of incoming orders, supplier invoices, and incoming email correspondence, we use a technical processing system based on artificial intelligence.

In doing so, the contents of orders, incoming invoices and incoming emails (e.g. company name, contact person, business contact details, the content of email correspondence, order and invoice line items, delivery and billing information, payment data) are automatically analyzed and transferred into structured data for our internal ERP and financial accounting systems.

The controller responsible for this processing is the STASTO Automation KG, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria.

The technical implementation is carried out by our affiliated group company STASTO International KG as a processor within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. A data processing agreement has been concluded with this company.

As part of the processing, STASTO International KG uses the technical service providers OpenAI, L.L.C., 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA, and Anthropic, PBC, 548 Market Street, PMB 90375, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA, as sub-processors. A contract pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with each of these providers. In the course of use, personal data may be transferred to a third country (USA). The transfer is carried out on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission.

The processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of the proper execution and handling of contractual relationships with customers and suppliers, as well as for compliance with statutory retention and documentation obligations.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of a contract), Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR (compliance with legal obligations, in particular corporate and tax law regulations), as well as Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient and structured business operations).

There is no automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.Further information on the use of AI
