ARGE DATEN - Austrian Society for Privacy and Data Protection

is an independent consolidation of computer specialists, 
practitioners and social scientists, working on the social impacts 
of computer use. 
Part of the society is a company overseeing various projects in 
data-processing and service (e.g., the ARGE DATEN is an AUSTRIAN 
Internet-provider). The goal of ARGE DATEN is to look beyond the 
blinders of technical applications of the people and to work out 
the relevant problems.
The number of members, subscribers and supporters are about 700, 
the number of people working in projects vary from 8 to 10 persons.
- ARGE DATEN exists since 1983 as an informal working group, since 
  1990 as a registrated society.
- We have published several reports and statements on the insane 
  collection of data f.x. in the Austrian social service and also 
  a handbook on data privacy. An important disclosure was the affair
  on the Austrian State Police and its modus operandi in 1991.
- For the time being, there are projects to study the following Themes:
   - privacy and internal security,
   - transparency of public service, on the example of information 
     processing in Austrian communities
   - information systems in financial services (banks, securities, 
     encashment-bureaus, credit-information-agencies),
   - privacy and freedom of information on ecological data,
   - consumer data and privacy.
- ARGE DATEN works on projects, publishes a newsletter - such as the
  "Datenschutz und Informationsrecht" (privacy and information law) -
  and serves to answer all kinds of questions on information law. It
  offers courses on information design (data bank design, software
  design, man-machine-communication and privacy law), gives expert 
  evidence on privacy matters, helps with the enactment enquiry-,
  insight- and information-rights, checks existing dp-systems on 
  their conformity with privacy laws and councils on the design of
  scientific databases.
