In a leaked report from the government’s representative for data protection, Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service was blamed for serious abuses of law.
The confidential report, dated March 2016, was brought to attention by public broadcasters NDR and WDR on Thursday evening. The 60-page study was carried out by Federal Data Protection Commissioner Andrea Voßhoff, who is responsible for ensuring that government agencies do not violate German citizens’ rights when using their personal data.
“The BND systematically lifted and used personal data without a legal basis to do so,” wrote the commissioner.
Voßhoff named a total of 12 violations of the law in seven spheres of activity, including obstruction of her own work.
“The BND massively and illegally blocked my ability to oversee it — a comprehensive and efficient oversight on my part was therefore not possible. These are serious breaches of the law.”
