Nachrichtendienstliches Informationssystem
The Intelligence Services Information System ( NADIS ) is similar to the police information system INPOL a document emanating from the 1970 non-public automated data system shared by the constitution protection authorities of the federal and state governments are involved.
Beginning of 2008, federal and state together in the intelligence service Lichen Information System 1172797 ( early 2007: 1,047,933; early 2006: 1,034,514 ) contain personal entries, of which 618 284 entries ( 52.7 %) due to security checks ( early 2007: 57, 1%). The number of entries in the personal NADIS was at the beginning of the year 2013 at 1,597,968 ( early 2012: 1,507,168 ), of which 1,202,279 registrations ( 75.2 %, in early 2012: 74.4 %) due to security checks or background checks.
The legal basis for the collection, storage and processing of personal data can be found in the constitutional protection laws.
NADIS does not contain any content on present knowledge of people, but only personal data. Most people covered in NADIS operate in safety-relevant areas and were checked by constitutional protections. A detection in NADIS does not mean that the person has any criminal, terrorist or similar type of background. Undercover agents of the secret service are not covered for safety and security reasons in NADIS.
The security expert Janusz Piekałkiewicz held NADIS for an important instrument of constitutional protection for profiling, with the various characteristic behaviors of the target population are stored as patterns and so the circle of suspects can be narrowed.
The Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig -Holstein criticized that NADIS " used contrary to the provisions of the Federal Constitution Protection Act not only as a system for retrieval of files, but also as a research file for operational purposes of the secret " will. In NADIS the Federal Office also besides the actual particulars and details of motor vehicles, locker, account and phone numbers would be stored.
The lawyer Michael Ostheimer sees the lively exchange of information by the intelligence with the police, which takes place in the case of the Federal immediately above NADIS, a dangerous entanglement of police and intelligence information through which the constitutional principle of separation of intelligence services and police would be undermined and therefore called for the abolition of NADIS.
In April 2008, Federal Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble stopped the introduction of the successor system NADIS - new, since he re- INPOL feared similar problems and cost overruns as with the introduction of. About a new system should be decided only in 2010. In the second half of 2011 NADIS should be equipped with a full-text search, which also provides data of respectable citizens who unknowingly had contact with target individuals.
On June 24, 2012 Finally, the modernized system NADIS WN ( news official business information system knowledge network ) was introduced. Thus " the lawful storage and analysis capabilities optimized " were according to own data.
