Data protection is an indispensable component of lawful administrative action and a quality feature of citizen-oriented services.

The legal framework for this can be found in the Lower Saxony Data Protection Act. The City of Salzgitter has therefore appointed an official data protection officer. This officer supports the departments of the city administration in ensuring data protection. He is also the contact person for residents who have questions about data protection in the city administration or who wish to point out problems.

In Lower Saxony, the State Commissioner for Data Protection is an independent body that represents the interests of citizens in the processing of their data by authorities and other public bodies in the state, cities, municipalities, districts and public corporations, institutions and foundations subject to state supervision. It monitors and advises public bodies in Lower Saxony on data protection issues.

The data protection supervisory authority for non-public bodies (companies, clubs, associations and private individuals) in Lower Saxony is also the State Commissioner for Data Protection.

You can reach the data protection officer of the City of Salzgitter, Mr. Holger Marks, by telephone or e-mail (see contact below).
