Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 13', '§ 13', '§ 55', '§ 6', '§ 45', '§ 48', '§ 17', '§ 19', '§ 17', '§ 13', '§ 7', '§ 13', '§ 11']

Transmission and Committing of Data not Subject to Licensing (Prior Approval)
(1) The transmission and committing of data to recipients in signatory states of the European economic area is not subject to any restrictions in terms of § 13. This does not apply to data exchange between public sector controllers in fields that are not subject to the law of the European Union.
(2) No authorisation pursuant to § 13 shall be required for data exchange with recipients in third countries with an adequate level of data protection. The countries that have an adequate level of data protection shall be enumerated in an ordinance of the Federal Chancellor in accordance with § 55 sub-para. 1. The decisive consideration as to the adequacy of the protection shall be the implementation of the principles of § 6 para. 1 in the foreign legal system as well as the existence of effective guarantees for their enforcement.
(3) Furthermore, data exchange shall not require authorisation if
1. the data have been published legitimately in Austria or
2. data are transferred or committed that are only indirectly personal to the recipient or
3. the transmission or committing is authorized by regulations that are equivalent to a statute in the Austrian legal system and are immediately applicable or
4. data from a data application for private purposes (§ 45) or for journalistic purposes (§ 48) is transmitted or
5. the data subject has without any doubt given his consent to the transmission or committing or
6. a contract between the controller and the data subject or a third party that has been concluded clearly in the interest of the data subject cannot be fulfilled except by the transmission of data or
7. the transmission is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims before a foreign authority and the data were collected legitimately or
8. the transmission or committing is expressly named in a standard ordinance (§ 17 para. 2 sub-para. 6) or model ordinance (§ 19 para. 2) or
9. the data exchange is with Austrian governmental missions and offices in foreign countries or
10. transmissions or committing are made from a data application that is exempted from notification according to § 17 para. 3.
(4) If the transmission or committing in cases not covered by the preceding paragraphs is necessary
1. to safeguard an important public interest or
2. to safeguard a vital interest of a person
and of such urgency that the authorisation of the Data Protection Authority required according to § 13 cannot be obtained in time without risk to the above-mentioned interests, it may be performed without a permit, but must be notified to the Data Protection Authority immediately.
(5) The legality of a data application in Austria according to § 7 is a prerequisite for every transmission or committing. Furthermore, committing requires the written promise of the processor abroad to the domestic controller – or in the case of § 13 para. 5 to the domestic processor – that he shall respect the obligations of a processor according to § 11 para 1. This is not applicable if the processing abroad is provided for in regulations that are equivalent to a law in the Austrian legal system and are immediately applicable.
