Thing is, if they make a profile about you that includes race, religion, and sexuality, what is stopping them from denying a certain group of people a job in the public sector? Or to use it as basis to spy on you because "this type of profile tends to be violent/terrorist/communist/not patriotic enough".
Or to not give you social aid since you aren't the right type of profile.

- lostboys67 9y agoGermany the id card data base holds a lot of very personal data
- ginko 9y agoHmm.. looking through what data the German resident register stores[1] there's not too much information I would deem too personal, apart from the religious affiliation maybe. They certainly don't track race as you wrote in your previous post. [1] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melderegister#Inhalt https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melderegister#Inhalt I gather you're from a country without a resident register? EDIT: Also you shouldn't mix up the content of a resident register with the information you find on a public ID card. The information printed on those is a lot more limited.
