Stiftung Datenschutz

Stiftung Datenschutz is a foundation established in 2013 by the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. Based in Leipzig, it is an independent, non-profit and neutral body whose task is to promote privacy protection and data protection at the interfaces between politics, supervisory authorities, business, science and society. It offers a neutral discussion platform on data policy and data protection law and provides practical information on the application of data protection law for specific target groups. Its work focuses on the non-public sector, i.e. the handling of personal data between citizens and private entities.

Stiftung Datenschutz was founded in 2013 by the Federal Republic of Germany; the Federal Republic as founder is represented vis-à-vis the foundation by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. The foundation is based in Leipzig, where the foundation and its office are located. It consists of three organs: the board (Vorstand), the administrative council (Verwaltungsrat) and the advisory council (Beirat). The board consists of one person and conducts the foundation's business, supported by the office's staff; the board's management is supervised by the voluntary administrative council. The voluntary advisory council advises the board on realizing the foundation's purpose, with members appointed by the administrative council for four years from various areas.
