privacy policy

Privacy policy in Germany is considered one of the most protective policies of citizens' privacy. The right to privacy is crucial in German society, and there are strict laws to protect individuals' data and personal information.

In 2018, the famous European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was implemented, which also applies in Germany. This law requires companies and institutions to adhere to a set of procedures to protect individuals' data, such as obtaining explicit consent before collecting personal data and clarifying how this data will be used.

Under this law, individuals in Germany have the right to access the data collected about them by companies and to modify or delete it if necessary. Furthermore, companies must secure personal data and protect it properly. Additionally, there is a regulatory body in Germany called the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, which monitors the enforcement of data protection laws and punishes violators.

Data protection involves safeguarding personal information exchanged or stored online or through any other means from unauthorized access, unlawful use, or manipulation. This includes protecting information such as names, addresses, identification numbers, contact information, financial and medical data, and other personal information.

The aim of data protection is to safeguard the privacy, personal, and financial security of individuals, companies, and institutions.

Measures and policies taken to protect personal data include:

1. Data encryption: Using encryption techniques to transform personal data into an unreadable format to prevent unauthorized access.
2. Conditional access: Restricting access to personal data only to individuals who have a legitimate need and authorization to access it, and providing strong authentication systems such as passwords and two-factor authentication.
3. Retention of data for a specified period: Determining the period for retaining personal data and securely deleting it after that period expires.
4. Training and awareness: Providing training and awareness for employees and individuals to understand the importance of protecting personal data and handling it correctly.
5. Privacy policies compliance: Establishing policies and procedures within the organization or company to ensure respect for the privacy of personal data.
