§ 7 LDSG RP
Processing for Other Purposes
(1)Processing for a purpose other than that for which the personal data were collected shall be lawful where 1. it is necessary to avert an otherwise immediately imminent threat to public security or serious disadvantages to the common good, 2. it is necessary to avert a serious impairment of the rights of another person, 3. it is necessary to verify information provided by the data subject, because there are factual indications that the information is inaccurate, 4. in the course of lawful task performance, indications of criminal offences or administrative offences arise and notification of the authorities responsible for prosecution or enforcement appears warranted, 5. it is necessary for decisions concerning the conferment of state decorations or honours or other state honours, or 6. it serves the exercise of supervisory and control powers, the audit of accounts, or the conduct of organisational reviews of the controller; this also applies to the processing of personal data for training and further education purposes by the controller, insofar as legitimate interests of the data subject in the secrecy of the data do not preclude this.
(2)The data subject shall not be informed about the data processing under paragraph 1 insofar as and for as long as this would jeopardize the purpose of the processing.
(3)Furthermore, a change of purpose shall be lawful where 1. obtaining the consent of the data subject is not possible or would involve disproportionate effort, but it is obvious that the data processing serves to protect him or her and that the data subject would give consent if aware of the other purpose, or 2. the data can be taken from generally accessible sources or the data processing body would be permitted to publish them, insofar as legitimate interests of the data subject are not obviously opposed.
(4)Where the personal data are subject to a professional secret or a special official secret and have been transmitted to the data processing body by the person obliged to maintain secrecy in the exercise of his or her professional or official duties, paragraphs 1 and 3 shall not apply.
(5)Personal data stored exclusively for the purposes of data protection monitoring, data security or ensuring the proper operation of a data processing facility may only be processed for other purposes insofar as this is necessary to avert serious threats to public security, in particular to life, health or liberty. zur Einzelansicht § 7
