§ 1. (1) Jedermann hat, insbesondere auch im Hinblick auf die Achtung seines Privat- und Familienlebens, Anspruch auf Geheimhaltung der ihn betreffenden personenbezogenen Daten, soweit ein schutzwürdiges Interesse daran besteht. Das Bestehen eines solchen Interesses ist ausgeschlossen, wenn Daten infolge ihrer allgemeinen Verfügbarkeit oder wegen ihrer mangelnden Rückführbarkeit auf den Betroffenen einem Geheimhaltungsanspruch nicht zugänglich sind. (2) Soweit die Verwendung von personenbezogenen Daten nicht im lebenswichtigen Interesse des Betroffenen oder mit seiner Zustimmung erfolgt, sind Beschränkungen des Anspruchs auf Geheimhaltung nur zur Wahrung überwiegender berechtigter Interessen eines anderen zulässig, und zwar bei Eingriffen einer staatlichen Behörde nur auf Grund von Gesetzen, die aus den in Art. 8 Abs. 2 der Europäischen Konvention zum Schutze der Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten (EMRK), BGBl. Nr. 210/1958, genannten Gründen notwendig sind. Derartige Gesetze dürfen die Verwendung von Daten, die ihrer Art nach besonders schutzwürdig sind, nur zur Wahrung wichtiger öffentlicher Interessen vorsehen und müssen gleichzeitig angemessene Garantien für den Schutz der Geheimhaltungsinteressen der Betroffenen festlegen. Auch im Falle zulässiger Beschränkungen darf der Eingriff in das Grundrecht jeweils nur in der gelindesten, zum Ziel führenden Art vorgenommen werden. (3) Jedermann hat, soweit ihn betreffende personenbezogene Daten zur automationsunterstützten Verarbeitung oder zur Verarbeitung in manuell, dh. ohne Automationsunterstützung geführten Dateien bestimmt sind, nach Maßgabe gesetzlicher Bestimmungen 1. das Recht auf Auskunft darüber, wer welche Daten über ihn verarbeitet, woher die Daten stammen, und wozu sie verwendet werden, insbesondere auch, an wen sie übermittelt werden; 2. das Recht auf Richtigstellung unrichtiger Daten und das Recht auf Löschung unzulässigerweise verarbeiteter Daten. (4) Beschränkungen der Rechte nach Abs. 3 sind nur unter den in Abs. 2 genannten Voraussetzungen zulässig. (5) Gegen Rechtsträger, die in Formen des Privatrechts eingerichtet sind, ist, soweit sie nicht in Vollziehung der Gesetze tätig werden, das Grundrecht auf Datenschutz mit Ausnahme des Rechtes auf Auskunft auf dem Zivilrechtsweg geltend zu machen. In allen übrigen Fällen ist die Datenschutzkommission zur Entscheidung zuständig, es sei denn, daß Akte der Gesetzgebung oder der Gerichtsbarkeit betroffen sind.

Article 8

1 Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

2 There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

Artikel 8 (1) Jedermann hat Anspruch auf Achtung seines Privat- und Familienlebens, seiner Wohnung und seines Briefverkehrs.

Sect. 1.(1) Everybody shall have the right to secrecy for the personal data concerning him, especially with regard to his private and family life, insofar as he has an interest deserving such protection. Such an interest is precluded when data cannot be subject to the right to secrecy due to their general availability or because they cannot be traced back to the data subject [Betroffener]. (2) Insofar personal data is not used in the vital interest of the data subject or with his consent, restrictions to the right to secrecy are only permitted to safeguard overriding legitimate interests of another, namely in case of an intervention by a public authority the restriction shall only be permitted based on laws [footnote 1] necessary for the reasons stated in Art. 8, para. 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Federal Law Gazette No. 210/1958). Such laws may provide for the use of data [Verwendung von Daten] that deserve special protection only in order to safeguard substantial public interests and shall provide suitable safeguards for the protection of the data subjects' interest in secrecy. Even in the case of permitted restrictions the intervention with the fundamental right shall be carried out using only the least intrusive of all effective methods. (3) Everybody shall have, insofar as personal data concerning him are destined for automated processing or manual processing, i.e. in filing systems [Dateien] without automated processing, as provided for by law, 1.the right to obtain information as to who processes what data concerning him, where the data originated, for which purpose they are used, as well as to whom the data are transmitted; 2.the right to rectification of incorrect data and the right to erasure of illegally processed data. (4) Restrictions of the rights according to para. 3 are only permitted under the conditions laid out in para. 2. (5) The fundamental right to data protection, except the right to information [Auskunftsrecht], shall be asserted before the civil courts against organisations that are established according to private law, as long as they do not act in execution of laws. In all other cases the Data Protection Commission [Datenschutzkommission] shall be competent to render the decision, unless an act of Parliament or a judicial decision is concerned.
