Personenbezogene Daten - Berichtigung unrichtiger Daten

If public bodies of the Federal Government, the State of Hesse, the municipalities and districts have stored your personal data incorrectly, you can demand that the data be corrected. If personal data in files is incorrect, you can request that the public body make a note of this in the file.

Miscellaneous

Under the conditions specified in Section 35 (1) of the Federal Data Protection Act, you also have a right to rectification vis-à-vis non-public bodies.

The application is free of charge for you

The correction of incorrect personal data must be carried out by the relevant public body. Your request therefore only has an initiating function. You can therefore submit the request informally, in writing, verbally, by telephone or electronically. The relevant body will decide on your request after examining it. You can contact the competent data protection supervisory authority instead or in addition.

The recipients of the transmitted data must be informed of the correction of your data. The information may be omitted if it would require a disproportionate effort and there are no indications that this could impair the interests of the data subject worthy of protection.

Please contact the office that stores your incorrect personal data.
