Data protection dangers: What users need to know about their data!
On April 18, 2025, Matthias Wirth and Frank Tunnisen were again set up as the CDU candidate for Kevelaer. Their nomination was unanimously supported by the members of the local party base. This shows the trust that the party and its voters put in the two candidates who were already active in the last district election campaign.
Matthias Wirth, who has been responsible for local political responsibility for several years, emphasized the importance of familiarity and continuity in political work. In his speech, he expressed that he and his colleague want to enter tunnises for a transparent and citizen -close policy that focuses on the concerns of the Kevelaer citizens. Frank Tunnisen added that the party would continue to work for the concerns of the region and that they would particularly value good networking with the citizens.
important topics of the candidates
Both candidates have already outlined a number of topics that are close to their heart. These include promoting infrastructure projects and supporting educational institutions in the region. They also emphasize the need to strengthen local companies and to secure investments in the community.
The CDU sees itself in a process of renewal and wants to address younger voters who want to help shape the future of the city. This was also clear in the nomination, which included a various group of party members.
in the context of data protection regulations
In view of the importance of data protection in the case of electoral and voting advertising, the legal framework in terms of data processing and consent are currently of great relevance. Art. 6 The GDPR emphasizes that the processing of data requires consent of the user or that the website operator has a legitimate interest. For the candidates' election campaigns, this means that they have to pay attention to how they use and process personal data of the voters.In addition, there are specific guidelines that apply to the use of cookies and the transfer of data to third countries, such as the USA. Data protection experts warn that unnecessary data transfers can be considered problematic, especially if they take place without adequate safety precautions. In this context, reference is also made to consent solutions such as OneTrust or usercentrics that are required for data transfer to the USA.
The correct handling of data and the respect of the privacy of voters will be of crucial importance for the success of the candidates. The CDU in Kevelaer therefore faces the challenge of acting both politically and data protection law in the best sense of the electorate.
