Protect Data Sheet
(1) For what purpose is your personal data processed?
The Austrian National Union of Students (Österreichischen Hochschüler_innenschaft/ÖH) stores and processes the data you provide in your application for the purpose of assessing your eligibility for funding and for the administration of approved funding. What is the legal basis for the processing of your personal data? The processing of your general personal data provided in the application is based on the legal basis of a legitimate interest of the ÖH. The interest of the ÖH is to be able to provide social support to students. The processing of any health data provided in your application is based solely on your consent.
(2) To whom does the ÖH pass on your personal data?
In addition to the social benefits granted by the Austrian National Union of Students, some university or college representatives also grant social benefits. At the request of these university or college representatives, the applicant's data (name, matriculation number, field of study, date of application, application granted, amount of funding) may be transmitted. The sole purpose of this transmission is to avoid double funding by the Austrian National Union of Students and the (local) university or college representatives. The Austrian National Union of Students is legally obliged to transmit the applicant's data to the Federal Ministry of Education and the Austrian Court of Audit for supervisory purposes, in particular to check that the funds are used in accordance with the guidelines and to grant access to the data (name, matriculation number, field of study, date of application, approved application, amount of funding). Furthermore, according to the Transparency Database Act, the Austrian National Union of Students is obliged to provide the Federal Ministry of Finance with the data of applicants in connection with grants awarded for the purpose of maintaining the Transparency Database. This notification is made using encrypted personal identifiers.
(3) How long does the ÖH store your personal data?
Personal data will be archived for one year after payment and deleted seven years after payment. Personal data of applicants whose application has been rejected will be deleted two years after the rejection.
(4) What rights do you have in connection with the processing of your personal data?
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) gives you certain rights as a data subject, to which we draw your attention below. Please note that these are complementary, so you can only request either the correction or completion of your data or its deletion. Withdrawal of Consent: If the ÖH stores and processes your personal data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the time of revocation.
(4a) Right to information: You can request information about the origin, the categories, the storage period, the recipients, the purpose of the data processed about you by the ÖH and the type of processing. You are not entitled to this right if the ÖH is acting in a sovereign capacity and the information jeopardizes the fulfilment of a task assigned to it by law.
(4b) Right to rectification and erasure: If the ÖH processes data about you that is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that it be rectified or completed. You can also request the deletion of unlawfully processed data.
(4c) Right to restriction of processing: If it is unclear whether the data processed about you is incorrect or incomplete or is being processed unlawfully, you can request that the processing of your data be restricted until this question has been finally clarified.
(4d) Right to object: Even if your personal data is correct and complete and is lawfully processed by the ÖH, you can object to the processing of this data.
We may only process data relating to your health with your explicit consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time by sending an email to sozialfonds@oeh.ac.at. Please note, however, that in this case the information will no longer be used to assess your eligibility for funding.
