Data Protection

The Federal Administrative Court is strongly committed to protect your personal data. We want you to know when we save data and how it is used. The provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG, Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) apply to the Federal Administrative Court. We have taken technical and organisational steps to ensure that we and providers that process data on our behalf adhere to the data protection regulations.

Data protection commissioner

The data protection commissioner monitors compliance with data protection regulations.

The commissioner is bound by the duty of confidentiality.

Processing of personal data

When using our website, we process your personal data with recourse to third-party services. Regularly, we process the data on specially protected servers in Germany and other countries of the European Union. Only in exceptional cases will we have data processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area as part of the recourse to third-party services. We only permit the processing of your data in a third country if the special requirements of article 44 et seqq. GDPR are fulfilled.

Only authorised persons may access the personal data.

When you use one of our contact forms, we ask for your name as well as other personal data which is necessary to deal with your matter. We process your data with your consent only, in accordance with article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent does not render the prior processing of your data unlawful. We erase your personal data when it is no longer needed for the respective purposes. When you fill in the form “Führungen durch das Gerichtsgebäude” (available in German only) your personal data will be forwarded to an external service provider (processor) which organises and bills the guided tours.

When you visit our website, data is stored on our servers for technical security purposes. This may allow identification (e.g. IP address, date, time, and pages retrieved). This data is processed on the basis of article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data is erased after two weeks.

We only use so-called cookies (small files containing configuration information) to the extent necessary to run the website. Processing is carried out on the basis of article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Disclosure of personal data and data processing by processors

We only use your data within federal institutions. We do not forward it to third parties. Should an external service provider process personal data on behalf of the Federal Administrative Court (processor) we ensure the protection of your data.

Information and rectification

We will gladly inform you of the personal data we have collected about you and how it is used. You can demand the rectification of incorrect personal data concerning yourself. We will correct the data, taking into account the purpose of the processing.
