The following data transfers are governed by law:
Under Section 42 of the Federal Registration Act, the Registration Office may transfer data to religious organisations governed by public law. If members of a religious organisation recognised under public law have family members who do not belong to the same or any other religious organisation recognised under public law, the Registration Authority may also transfer the following information regarding these family members: first name and surname, date and place of birth, gender, membership of a religious organisation recognised under public law, current addresses and most recent previous address, restrictions on the disclosure of information pursuant to Section 51, and date of death. Family members are the spouse or civil partner, minor children and the parents of minor children.
The registration authority may also, pursuant to Section 50 of the Federal Registration Act, provide information from the register of residents for the following specific purposes:
- Information to political parties, voter groups and other bodies submitting lists of candidates in connection with elections and referendums at state and local level during the six months preceding the election or referendum. This concerns selected groups of eligible voters, the composition of which is determined by age. The information comprises surname, first names, academic titles and current addresses. The person or body to whom the data is transmitted may only use it for campaigning in an election or referendum.
- Information provided to elected representatives, the press or broadcasters regarding residents’ milestone birthdays or wedding anniversaries. Milestone birthdays include the 70th birthday, every fifth birthday thereafter, and every subsequent birthday from the 100th birthday onwards; wedding anniversaries are the 50th and every subsequent wedding anniversary.
