There is no Austrian Airlines-specific finding this pass, and the reason is itself the finding: Austrian is a Lufthansa Group airline, and group-wide systems and policies are expected to shape how its passenger data is handled alongside Lufthansa and SWISS (the extent of shared data-protection arrangements was not verified this pass). A passenger choosing Austrian over Lufthansa may therefore be making less of a privacy choice than it appears, which is why the parent is a useful unit of analysis; whether group-level findings in the Lufthansa row extend to Austrian was not confirmed.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass — GDPR applies via the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
Data sharing
Same LUFTHANSA GROUP shared data-protection framework as Lufthansa and SWISS (see those rows) — no Austrian-specific breach or lawsuit independently confirmed this pass; Austrian's own data protection authority is the Austrian DPA in Vienna specifically (distinct from Germany's or Switzerland's regulators, since each Lufthansa Group airline is registered/regulated in its own home country despite sharing group-wide data infrastructure).
Fees and billing
Not itemized this pass.
Contacts
Privacy contact. Not recorded.
Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
Mailing address. Not recorded.
