4. TELCO Directive 2006 / 24 / EC
IGN -( INNOVATION.Grenzüberschreitendes Netzwerk e.V. )-
• The Data retention Directive of European Commission:
– telecommunications, data retention (or data preservation) generally refers
to the storage of call detail records (CDR’s) of telephony and INTERNET
traffic and transaction data (IPDR’s) by governments and commercial
organisations.
– In the case of government data retention, the data that is stored is usually
of telephone calls made and received, emails sent and received and web
sites visited. Location data is also collected...
– The primary objective in government data retention is traffic analysis and
mass surveillance. By analysing the retained data, governments can
identify the locations of individuals, an individual's associates and the
members of a group such as political opponents...

 1 BvR 256/08
 1 BvR 263/08
 1 BvR 586/08
– Eine sechsmonatige, vorsorglich anlasslose Speicherung von
Telekommunikationsverkehrsdaten durch private Diensteanbieter, wie sie die
Richtlinie 2006/24/EG des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates vom 15. März
2006 (ABl L 105 vom 13. April 2006, S. 54; im Folgenden: Richtlinie 2006/24/EG)
vorsieht, ist mit Art. 10 GG nicht schlechthin unvereinbar; auf einen etwaigen
Vorrang dieser Richtlinie kommt es daher nicht an.
– Der Grundsatz der Verhältnismäßigkeit verlangt, dass die gesetzliche
Ausgestaltung einer solchen Datenspeicherung dem besonderen Gewicht des mit
der Speicherung verbundenen Grundrechtseingriffs angemessen Rechnung trägt.
Erforderlich sind hinreichend anspruchsvolle und normenklare Regelungen
hinsichtlich der Datensicherheit, der Datenverwendung, der Transparenz und des
Rechtsschutzes… etc.

7. The „Tracking„ Story behind…
• The data retention cases in Germany…
IGN -( INNOVATION.Grenzüberschreitendes Netzwerk e.V. )-
– Actually, discussions not only in Germany are still on-going about
Data protection and long-term data-retention of (mobile & internet)
telecommunication links, but also in Saxony in connection with right-
wing riots happened in Dresden, February, 2011, where mobile
connectivity links had been collected by police in order to find out
location based indicators to identify law violations, but using privacy
data of more than one million users randomly moving in areas the
policy was interested to filter out for law enforcements.
– Mostly, users of mobile and internet communication networks are
not aware what is happening with their own private communication
behaviour behind the intransparent scenery of private telecom
carriers and which makes possible to visualize personal profiles by
data tracking methods the police and other organizations like
TELEKOM and other “SERVICES” are able to do already…

8. The Tracking Use Case © ZEIT
• The „Berlin“ tracking Story behind…
IGN -( INNOVATION.Grenzüberschreitendes Netzwerk e.V. )-
– Green party politician Malte Spitz sued to have German
telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom hand over six months of his
phone data that he then made available to ZEIT ONLINE. We
combined this geolocation data with information relating to
his life as a politician, such as Twitter feeds, blog entries and
websites, all of which is all freely available on the internet.
– By pushing the play button, you will set off on a trip through
Malte Spitz's life. The speed controller allows you to adjust
how fast you travel, the pause button will let you stop at
interesting points. In addition, a calendar at the bottom shows
when he was in a particular location and can be used to jump
to a specific time period. Each column corresponds to one
day.

11. CONCLUSIONS
• The visualization methodology:
• The both authors behind this visualization contract of ZEIT-ONLINE are the
IGN -( INNOVATION.Grenzüberschreitendes Netzwerk e.V. )-
well-known Data journalist Lorenz Matzat and Programmer Michael Kreil
(Berlin) and have been awarded for the methodology with international
creativity awards.
• Location based services (LBS) based on referenced geodata and combined
with thematical data from social networks (twitter, blogs etc.) allow to
compose not only personal movements, but compose an overall picture and
profile of privacy and behaviour…
• What is the result of the „DRESDEN“ case…?
• > 1 Mio mobile datasets collected by police, Febr. 2011…
• Proportionality ?
• Transparency ?
• Openness ?
• Decision process still at court…
• EC is about to claiming on Germany having not yet transposed
the TELCO retention Directive 2006/24/EC …
