Detailed description

Every public body is legally required to appoint a data protection officer. The data protection officer is the contact person for all data protection matters relating to the districts.

The data protection officer also performs internal administrative tasks. As an employee of the respective administrative unit, you can, for example, contact this office if you need advice or support on data protection issues.


The official data protection officer of the district offices is responsible for supporting the district departments and their staff councils in implementing the Hamburg Data Protection Act (HmbDSG) and other regulations.

Prerequisites

You have a data protection concern that affects the administrative unit to which the data protection officer is assigned.

Often, a declaration releasing someone from the obligation of confidentiality is required.



If you are contacting the relevant authority not for yourself, but for another person (for example, family members), a written power of attorney from that person is required, stating that you are authorized to submit applications on their behalf and to receive the responses.
