The data records are anonymised according to the Federal Law on the protection of personal data already in the special databases, and are only brought together in Statistics Austria in a 127-digit encryption code of the person, which according to Statistik Austria is also to assure sufficient data security according to the most modern requirements. The legal basis for this was created by the e-government law, the technology was developed together with the authorities responsible for data protection and e-government in the Federal Chancellery. In extreme cases of exceptional data inconsistencies, the data are returned to a person under the supervision of the Data Protection Commission, the Ordinary Register of Registers. In order to prevent "reporting tourism" on the part of the municipalities - in the temptation to achieve the highest possible number of inhabitants and, as a result, better funding, - the recording of reported residences was extended to 180 days before the deadline. Critical or sensitive points which, for example, have led to violent discussions in Germany, in particular the elevation of religious affinity, have not been taken up from the outset  The original data supplied by Statistik Austria in the original form are mirrored during the so-called "staging area". The data is then transferred to the link database, the so-called Central Datawarehouse (CDW). This means that the original source is not lost during evaluation processes of any kind, but is always available as a reference material. In addition, a front-end optimized for official-statistical purposes was developed with the manufacturer. The results are published as usual in the Austrian Statistical Yearbook, whose volume was published in the summer of the year (historically there were censuses in which the evaluation was only completed four years later), and this is freely accessible As well as numerous detailed evaluations, which are partly published in the other special publications (such as the local directory of the population) and on the website of Statistik Austria. In addition, Statistik Austria offers a modern service provider - also within the strict framework of the data protection legislation - with the option of ordering more specific statistics. On 21 June 2013, Statistik Austria announced the final results of the 2011 register listing in a press release. In this figure, the number of inhabitants for Austria is 8,401,940, which represents an increase of 4.6 per cent of inhabitants compared to the last census of 2001. Carinthia is the only province that has lost its inhabitants. The new software also makes it possible to carry out a small counting every year, which can be used as a basis for financial balancing between the federal government, the Länder and municipalities.
