De-Datenschuetzer: Privacy ins Grundgesetz-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- De-Datenschützer: Privacy ins Grundgesetz Nicht ganz taufrisch & anscheinend an der deutschsprachigen Öffentlichkeit ziemlich vorbeigegangen ist der Zehnpunkte/appell von fünf deutschen Datenschutzbeauftragten an die neue Bundesregierung. Tenor: Das Datenschutzgesetz.de bedarf dringend der Anpassung an die technischen Gegebenheiten, das Recht auf Schutz der Privatsphäre gehört ins Grundgesetz. post/scrypt: Ganz allgemein ist anzumerken, dass seit dem Zwist EU/USA rund um die Eu-Direktive zum Datenschutz einschlägige US-Gazetten plötzlich in Permanenz Europa/themen spielen. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Mary Lisbeth D'Amico MUNICH Just as Europe and the U.S. face off over diverging views on data privacy, five German state governments' data-privacy agencies have asked the German federal government to strengthen the country's already stringent data-privacy laws. ... The data-protection agencies last week submitted a 10-point plan to their state legislatures and to Germany's new left-of- center government. The proposal includes a demand to amend the German constitution with a specific "right to data protection privacy," as well as calls to re-evaluate the government's encryption requirements. It also asks that regulations that govern corporate control of personal data be tightened. .... Some industry participants also see little sense in changing the laws on a domestic level, without the approval of other nations. In Europe, European Union members have to adhere to a new privacy directive that went into effect Oct. 25. .... The EU's privacy directive takes a much stricter view of data protection than in the U.S., allowing individuals, whose data is collected by companies to review their data, to correct it and limit its use. For now, the EU has agreed not to take punitive measures against U.S. companies that do not adhere to the EU directive until a compromise is worked out. But Helmut Baumler, head of the data-protection agency in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, said that the data-protection agencies are mainly seeking to simplify privacy legislation, rather than add to the tangle of rules. .... The data-protection agencies are also more concerned with other parts of the plan such as the proposals to modernize data-protection laws and make sure that encryption is effective than the proposed change to the constitution, he said. .... Particularly in the case of encryption, the agencies feel that regulations have gone too far in the direction of protecting the security requirements of the government, versus those of German citizens, according to Baumler. The agencies also want to encourage the use of technologies that don't leave behind personal data evidence, such as smart cards. .... The proposal includes calls for: encouraging strong cryptography to protect data; a reassessment of when the federal government is allowed to interfere with data for security reasons, such as for fighting terrorism; modernizing and condensing the country's data-protection laws, which were first written when mainframe technologies were dominant; strengthening the protection of data controlled by the private economy. "Whereas government organizations must submit to a relatively strict data-protection regime, corporate databases with personal data are growing unattended," according to the proposal. It expressed concern over the data collected by banks, mail-order companies, and other private corporations. "The current regulations give those involved little protection," the proposal said. ... the right to "unsupervised phone calls." The proposal slams a provision in Germany's multimedia law requiring telecommunications companies to install at their own cost equipment that lets the government listen in on phone calls. full story http://www.thestandard.net/articles/display/0,1449,2468,00.ht ml -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-11-15 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
