CSU in Neunkirchen: Data protection scandal regarding children's party invitations!

– A data protection scandal is causing a stir in Neunkirchen! The CSU local association used addresses from the population register without permission to invite children to a party. The state data protection officer has already sounded the alarm!

The CSU in Neunkirchen is facing a serious scandal! When inviting people to their annual children's party, children's address details were used unlawfully. Mayor Jens Fankhänel (CSU) passed the data on to the party, which led to a strong rebuke from the state data protection officer. The party has now commented in writing on the incident and apologized for the inconvenience caused. But that's not all - the CSU emphasizes that the invitations were never intended for political purposes or as part of an election campaign.

Invitation or data breach?

Since 2019, the CSU has been organizing children's parties in Neunkirchen to promote valuable local youth work. These festivals are intended to provide a platform for the community's youngest citizens and are deliberately scheduled near World Children's Day on September 20th. The CSU emphasizes that the 2023 festival had no connection with the state election. But now the party's credibility is at stake! In its statement, the CSU explains that it acted in the belief that the addresses from the population register were permissible. She assures that protecting personal data is a top priority.

The addresses were only used to send personal invitations to the children, as Mayor Fankhänel confirmed. The CSU is available to personally answer any further questions citizens may have. But the question remains: How could this data protection breach occur? There is great excitement in Neunkirchen and the citizens are looking forward to the CSU's next steps!
