3.5 Data Privacy Protection
Description
The goal of data privacy protection is to protect individuals
from impairment of informational self-determination due to
abuse of person-related data.
Due to the close interconnection between data privacy
protection and IT security, the aim of an IT baseline
protection chapter on the topic of data privacy protection
should both present the conditions for data privacy protection
in a way that is suitable for practical implementation and show the connection between IT security and
IT baseline protection.
The draft for such a chapter was developed by the federal data privacy officer in co-operation with the
data privacy officers of the individual federal states. It is concerned with the national and state offices,
the private suppliers of telecommunications services and postal services.
This draft can be requested by e-mail from the federal data privacy officer under the address:
heinz.biermann@bfd.bund400.de
or
X.400: C=de, A=bund; P=bfd; S=biermann; G=heinz
The draft can also be found on the Internet server of the federal data privacy officer under the address
www.bfb.bund.de. In addition, a version of this chapter that can be downloaded, which is formatted for
the loose-leaf edition of the IT Baseline Protection Manual, is currently under preparation.
