Step by step: This is how you proceed
- Search by name or, if available, by file number.
- Check carefully whether the hit actually affects your own procedure.
- Write down the court, file number, date and type of procedure.
- Use the resolution as a starting point for further questions about inspection periods.
What documents do you need?
Court mail, file number, previous notice. Only send sensitive documents via a secure, official channel and only when actually necessary.
When should I act?
Please check the official entry first before making further inquiries.
This limit is important
A missing hit does not prove that there is no private data about the procedure.
Free help outside DATENCHECK
State-recognised debt advice services in Austria provide free support. For payment plans, debt discharge proceedings and court questions, they are more appropriate than a private form-preparation service.
Check the official body and eligibility ↗Check the applicable remit and eligibility criteria. A GDPR request does not automatically suspend court or other important deadlines.
What can I do myself for free?
The statutory information and other rights of those affected can generally be exercised without DATA CHECK. The Austrian data protection authority offers samples that can be used free of charge. Private technical form preparation is only a voluntary additional service, not a prerequisite for exercising your rights.
According to the recommendation of the Austrian data protection authority, you should first request information and, if necessary, only then separately request correction or deletion. In principle, a request for information must be responded to within one month; a legally permissible extension is possible.
