Austria Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz, DSG, amended 2018)

Austria
v2000 (amended 2018 for GDPR)
5 domains
14 controls

Austria's Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz, DSG) as amended in 2018 supplements the EU GDPR with national provisions. The Datenschutzbehörde (DSB - Austrian Data Protection Authority) oversees enforcement. The DSG retains a constitutional right to data protection (Section 1 DSG has constitutional rank). Notable provisions include the age of digital consent (14 years), broad research derogations, specific rules for image processing (Bildaufnahme), and administrative and criminal penalties. Austria's data protection has constitutional status since 2000.
