Special information on essential terminology, data processing and legal basis as well as the rights of data subjects

Definition of personal data and sensitive data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. No personal data is completely anonymized information. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (IP address) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Personal data includes in particular information such as your (correct) name, address, or telephone number. This may also include your e-mail address, insofar as this contains your name and your identity can be determined from this. Information without any reference to your identity, e.g. only your age or gender, is not personal data.

Sensitive data is personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. Similarly, the category of sensitive data includes the processing of genetic data, biometric data uniquely identifying a natural person, health data, or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation.

Data subject

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

Collection and processing of personal data

As a rule, you can use the integration.li website without actively providing any personal data. However, certain personal data is processed automatically. Details regarding automated data processing can be found below under the point: General information about visiting the website

The collection and processing of personal data by the Office of Social Services is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the national data protection law and the respective national special law. The processing of personal data by a public body may be carried out, among other things, by collecting, storing, using, transmitting, linking, making available for retrieval or by deleting and destroying.

Legal basis

The activities of the official offices of the Liechtenstein National Administration are based on a respective legal mandate. The specific laws are usually listed on the website of the respective office or linked to the applicable regulations and laws. The legal bases for the processing of your personal data therefore arise at least from Article 6 (1) e) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in conjunction with Article 4 of the Liechtenstein Data Protection Act (DPA). These legal bases allow the Liechtenstein National Administration to process your personal data, which is necessary for the fulfillment of the tasks incumbent upon it.

Disclosure of data to third parties

Data is only passed on to third parties within the framework of legal regulations. Services of third party providers can be used, which are then obligated as so-called order processors to comply with the data protection concerns and requirements. The processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

In certain circumstances, public bodies may also jointly determine data processing operations with other data controllers. In such cases, joint responsibility is also regulated in accordance with the requirements from the GDPR as well as the DPA.

Data transfer to a third country / outside the EU

If we transfer personal data to service providers outside the EU, this will only be done if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or if other appropriate data protection guarantees, e.g. EU standard contractual clauses, are in place. A list of third countries and international organizations with an adequate level of data protection can be found in Annex 1 of the Data Protection Regulation (DPA).

Duration of storage and deletion of personal data

After collection by the respective public body of the state administration, your data will be stored for as long as is necessary for the respective task fulfillment in compliance with statutory retention periods. An overview of the statutory retention periods can be found on the website of the supervisory authority, www.datenschutzstelle.li under the item Services.

The data stored by the state administration will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data of the data subjects are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted.

Your rights as a data subject

1 Right to information:

You have the right at any time, informally and without justification, to receive information about the data stored with regard to your person. This also applies to their origin as well as recipients and furthermore to the purpose of the storage. You will receive this information free of charge (Art. 15 DSGVO). Requests for information about your stored data should be addressed directly to the relevant public body or to the Data Protection Unit.

2 Correction, restriction of processing, deletion, complaint, revocation of consent:

In addition, you have further rights, such as the right to correct incorrect data, restriction of processing and deletion of your personal data (Art. 16 DSGVO, Art. 17 DSGVO, Art. 18 DSGVO). In the event of the assumption of unlawful data processing, you can file a complaint at any time with the supervisory authority responsible for us, the Data Protection Service (DSS), www.datenschutzstelle.li. If you have given consent to the state administration, you may in principle revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 DSGVO).

3 Right of objection:

Insofar as we process your personal data not on the basis of consent, but on the basis of a legal fact, such as Art. 6 (1) (e) DSGVO, you may object to the future processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from the existence of your particular situation (Art. 21 DSGVO). The existence of a special situation is subject to individual consideration.

If you make use of your above-mentioned rights, we will check whether the legal requirements for this are met.
