Document background
The Data Protection Notice is a fundamental document required under both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG). Organizations must provide this notice to data subjects at the time of collecting their personal data or within a reasonable period if data is obtained indirectly. The notice must be written in clear, plain language and contain specific information mandated by law, including the purposes of processing, legal bases, data recipients, and data subject rights. This document is particularly crucial in the Austrian context as it must comply with both EU-wide requirements and specific Austrian data protection provisions. The notice should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect any changes in data processing activities or legal requirements.
