On 25 March 2009, the law on the procedure of the electronic proof of payment (ELENA Procedure Act) came into force (Federal Law Gazette I 2009, p. 634 ff).
- legal text (printed 16/10492) as a PDF
- change 16/11666 (PDF), which provides, amendments with respect to data protection.
From 01:01:10 to 35 to 40 million employees letting down his pants, there are a variety of information stored centrally in a newly created database and the job centers available made.
addition to data such as address, income, etc is held and also approved participation in unauthorized strikes, warning letters, absenteeism from work, etc. So
is a lot of the information beyond what is requested for the services out.
ELENA goes back to the originally developed by Hartz Commission ideas that led to the former concept of "job card". Today, both terms are commonly used, but currently it is said ELENA. The idea behind it: Some data of all workers will be centralized in pension funds. It should thus create a pool in which each employee of the Income and its living conditions (within certain limits) are stored.
sense: If someone is unemployed, demands social benefits or child support or even if you want to claim Prozeskostenhilfe, the corresponding authority query only when ELENA on the server, the data for those affected.
one promises to be less bureaucracy, saved costs and also improved control of those affected. Abuse allegations is currently met by the fact that access to the subject's consent should be needed - which he makes using a digital signature.
The criticism is obvious: here is a data retention operated, not only for communication channels (as in the previous VDS), but all of actual financial circumstances of those concerned. That should be the only access with the consent of the person concerned is indeed nice words, but in reality you only get something (such as performance), if one also allows access, that is: In fact, one has no choice whether the access allowed or not.
With a little foresight, it is only a matter of time, claim to credit institutions to access this data, perhaps for credit, are - like today's "Schufa clause" a voluntary compulsion could be the access to this database : Establishing A loan obtained in practice only if one accepts the access ELENA.
It is also working to think that with ELENA another mosaic stone of the comprehensive data retention life of all citizens.
Finally, one may think of what happens when extracts from this database "lost" or stolen - financially it's certainly worth on the black market, an unimaginable fortune. Who on the recent data breach at (foreign) authorities looks and thinks that the BND has just bought a lot of money for data from a large bank (where they were stolen?), Can not something as a "potential risk" grade.
