Data protection information in accordance with Art. 13 and 26 GDPR

This website is operated jointly by the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF), Johannesgasse 5, 1010 Vienna, and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), Otto‑Wagner‑Platz 3, 1090 Vienna. Pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR, the BMF and the OeNB are joint controllers for the processing of personal data.

1.      Self-check quizzes

The website provides quizzes for self-checks allowing website users to voluntarily self-assess their financial knowledge. It is not possible for the BMF or the OeNB to identify website users, but for technical reasons a cookie with an arbitrary identification number must be set in order to be able to attribute successive answers to the respective users. No other identification data on website users is collected for this purpose. Personal data will not be passed on to third parties other than the processors named below, or used for other purposes on part of the BMF or the OeNB. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in the provision of these quizzes for voluntary self-assessment. Once a self-check quiz has been completed, the data collected is immediately anonymized by deleting the cookie.

You can object to this processing of your pseudonymous data by closing your browser or manually deleting the session cookie in your browser.

2.      Integration of social media content

The website includes content from social media platforms that you can access. Personal data is not transmitted to these services as soon as you access the Finanznavi website as such, but only once you explicitly request the display of such external content and actively give your consent. On the basis of your consent, data is subsequently transmitted to the respective services (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR):

YOUTUBE: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (data protection information: policies.google.com/privacy, opt-out and advertising settings: adssettings.google.com).

You have the right to withdraw your consent to any consent-based processing of your personal data at any time. Withdrawing your consent will be without prejudice to the lawful use of personal data collected up to the point of consent withdrawal (Article 7 para 3 GDPR). You can revoke your consent here.

3.      Website analytics policy

We analyze the use of this website on the basis of the server log data generated by the web server on an anonymous basis in order to constantly improve its functionality and adapt its content to the interests and needs of the website users. The server log data is immediately anonymized for the analysis. The legal basis is the legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in designing website content that is of interest and benefit to our target audience.

You have the right to object to this anonymous usage analysis (Art. 21 GDPR). To do this, please set the “do-not-track” function in your browser.
