Data security and data protection play very significant roles in the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA). This applies not only to the data we store in our Registers in accordance with our assignment, but also to you. Namely, whenever you surf the web and visit our web pages. We want you to know which data are stored when you visit our web pages and what they are used for. It is particularly important for us to protect your privacy when you use our web pages. We have therefore taken all the technical and organisational measures necessary to live up to these requirements.

Collecting and processing of personal data

  • When you visit our website, the webserver will regularly record

    • your domain name or
    • the anonymised IP address of your computer, (the anonymisation ensues by putting the last two bytes of the IP address to zero)
    • the browser,
    • the protocol
    • the operating system used by you,
    • the website from which you are linked to us,
    • the webpage you are visiting,
    • the error code of the request,
    • the conveyed data amount as well as
    • the date and time of the visit.

This data will give us information on common interests and on the preferences of our visitors. The compiled data will solely be used for statistical analysis and will not be disclosed to any third party!

Use and disclosure of personally identifiable information

You yourself can decide which information you want to entrust us with. If you request a service by e-mail though we require your name and address in order to provide the service requested. Your personal data will not be disclosed to any third party!

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on the user's computer or mobile device by the KBA content management system (CMS). Users can restrict or prevent the use of cookies in the web browser they are using by selecting the appropriate settings. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely deactivating cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of the KBA website.

In order to ensure the technically secure and correct provision of the website, the KBA uses a technically mandatory cookie called JSESSIONID cookie on its website. This cookie is intended to increase the security and functionality of the web applications offered and is used for server load distribution and session management of the application server. This cookie does not contain any personal data. No IP address or other information is collected that could be traced back to the actual user.

The legal basis for the use of this technically necessary cookie is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter e) GDPR and Art. 6 para. 2 GDPR in conjunction with § 3 of the Act on the Promotion of Electronic Administration (EGovG) and § 25 para. 2 no. 2 of the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). Accordingly, your consent is not required for the use of this cookie.

Explanation: JSESSIONID/sessionid

  • Cookie for the session management of the application server,
  • does not contain any personal data,
  • in particular, it is not based on the user's IP address or any other information that can be traced back to the actual user,
  • validity ends at the end of the current session,
  • the session ID is only valid on the respective server and is not synchronized across different server instances
