The processing of your personal data by the Citizens' Service of the Federal Ministry is carried out according to art 6 para 1 (e) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the 1986 Federal Ministries Act (BMG) and the Duty to Grant Information Act for the purpose of information activities, including the automated creation and processing of text files related to such issues.

We would like to point out that documents or data which are processed as part of the work of the Citizens' Service of the Federal Ministry are subject to statutory retention periods. Your data is thus stored for a period of ten years following the last processing operation. You can decide freely, and without prejudice to your rights, whether you want your data to be collected. There is no obligation.

In addition, we would like to point out that you have a right to information about your stored data, to its correction or deletion, and a right to object to its processing in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act (DSG). The legally binding retention periods and permitted uses are unaffected by this.

You also have a right to complain about the processing of your data. You can exercise this right by contacting the supervisory authority (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde).
