1.3Privacy and data security
Please note that the system described in this Manual uses and processes personal data.
In Germany, the processing and use of personal data are subject to various regulatory acts, including the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes, BDSG) and other re- strictions. For your and any other country, please be careful to observe all pertinent laws and regulations that are currently in force and applicable.
The first and foremost purpose of data protection is to protect the individual against any in- fringement of his/her personal rights through the misuse of his/her personal data.
On the other side, the protection of data privacy also has the aim to protect the data itself from being misused during the different phases of its processing and in doing so ward off any in- fringement of outside or internal interests in need of protection.

Make sure that only authorized persons have access to personal data.
Consistently make use of every opportunity to assign passwords; do not grant unauthor- ized persons access to any passwords, e.g. by writing them down.
Make sure that no unauthorized persons can manipulate, i.e. save, modify, communicate, block, delete, or use personal data in any way.
Always safeguard that no unauthorized persons have access to data storage mediums, e.g. to back up diskettes or protocol printouts. This applies to service work as well as to any storage or transport.
●Make sure that data storage media that are no longer needed are completely destroyed. In this context, always check that you do not leave behind any papers that might become openly accessible to others.
