14. Appropriate handling of the HS256S for data

privacy

Please note following principles and requirements of the Federal Data Protection

Act (BDSG), State Data Protection Acts and the corresponding standards of the EU

Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) for the storage of personal data:

1) Lawfulness of data collection, processing and use

According to §4 para. 1 BDSG the collection, processing and use of personal data

shall be lawful only if permitted or ordered by this Act or other law, or if the data

subject has provided consent.

The same is true in regard to Article 7 of the EU Data Protection Directive, accord-

ing to which Member States shall provide that personal data may be processed

only if:

the data subject has unambiguously given his consent; or

processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data

subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior

to entering into a contract; or

processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the

controller is subject; or

processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data sub-

ject; or

processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public

interest or in the exercise of ofﬁcial authority vested in the controller or in a

third party to whom the data are disclosed; or

processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued

by the controller or by the third party or parties to whom the data are dis-

closed, except where such interests are overridden by the interests for fun-

damental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection

under Article 1 (1).
