Data protection
The Data Protection Act is based on the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany and grants informal self-determination. This is to prevent unauthorised access to and misuse of personal data. This does not only refer to personal data on the internet. Data protection also covers other areas, such as account data, medical records and the secrecy of correspondence. In this way, it is intended to counteract the increasing tendency towards transparent people, the proliferation of state surveillance measures and the emergence of data monopolies.
