¹ In or­der to as­sess eli­gib­il­ity for an ex­emp­tion from the fee un­der Art­icle 69b para­graph 1 let­ter, the col­lec­tion agency may pro­cess data that al­lows con­clu­sions to be drawn as to a per­son’s health or so­cial as­sist­ance claims. The data pro­cessing and the su­per­vi­sion there­of are gov­erned by pro­vi­sions of the Fed­er­al Act of 19 June 1992⁶⁴ on Data Pro­tec­tion that ap­ply to fed­er­al bod­ies.

² The col­lec­tion agency shall take the or­gan­isa­tion­al and tech­nic­al meas­ures re­quired to se­cure the data against un­au­thor­ised pro­cessing. It may only pro­cess data that it ob­tained in con­nec­tion with its activ­it­ies un­der this Act for the pur­pose of col­lect­ing and en­for­cing pay­ment of the fee and may only pass on the data to third parties for these pur­poses.

³ Data that al­low con­clu­sions to be drawn with re­gard to a per­son’s health or so­cial in­sur­ance claims may not be dis­closed to third parties. Such data may be stored by third parties in en­cryp­ted form (con­tent en­cryp­tion). Data may only be de­cryp­ted by the col­lec­tion agency. Per­sons en­trus­ted with ser­vi­cing, main­ten­ance or pro­gram­ming tasks may pro­cess such data with­in the in­form­a­tion sys­tem if this is re­quired in or­der to carry out their tasks and data se­cur­ity is guar­an­teed. In do­ing so, the con­tent of the data may not be mod­i­fied.

⁴ The col­lec­tion agency must pass on the data re­quired for col­lect­ing and en­for­cing pay­ment to any suc­cessor agency in good time and free of charge. Once the data has been passed on, it must per­man­ently de­lete the data that it no longer re­quires.
