MetadatenSchutz
MetadatenSchutz refers to the legal, technical, and organizational measures that safeguard metadata, the data that describes, explains, or contextualizes other data. In digital communication, metadata includes information about the origin, time, location, format, and transmission path of a data set. Although it is often considered incidental, metadata can reveal sensitive patterns such as travel history, professional networks, and personal habits, making its protection a critical issue in privacy law.
The concept of MetadatenSchutz has gained prominence through European data protection frameworks, especially the General Data
Technical safeguards typically involve encryption of metadata, minimizing the collection of unnecessary metadata, and deploying metadata
MetadatenSchutz is an evolving field that balances the legitimate interest of data controllers in using metadata
