This right is subject to the restrictions set out in Art. 4, Para. 2 of the Austrian Data Protection Act, according to which, in the event that the correction of personal data processed with the aid of automation cannot be carried out immediately because it is only possible at certain times for economic or technical reasons, the processing of the personal data in question must be restricted with the effect of Art. 18, Para. 2 of the GDPR until this point in time.
