Data protection in times of global networking
The right of every person to be able to decide exclusively for themselves about the use of personal or personal data has become an increasingly important issue for people in all cultural communities since the 1960s at the latest. What, when, by whom, to what extent, personal information worthy of protection was and is stored or even passed on to others has always not always been completely clear or even transparent for citizens. In addition, many people harbored the suspicion, which is still growing today, that what is permitted by law is probably not strictly adhered to in all cases and by all companies and public institutions; This may sometimes simply be due to ignorance of the exact regulations or a lack of really consistent implementation of guidelines and own concepts.
