Intelligence information system
The intelligence information system ( NADIS ) is similar to the police information system INPOL, a non-public, automated data network in Germany from the 1970s, in which the constitutional protection authorities of the federal and state governments are involved.
At the beginning of 2008, the federal and state governments jointly contained 1,172,797 (early 2007: 1,047,933; early 2006: 1,034,514) personal entries in the intelligence information system, of which 618,284 entries (52.7%) were due to security checks (early 2007: 57 ,1 %). The number of personal entries in NADIS at the beginning of 2013 was 1,597,968 (beginning of 2012: 1,507,168), of which 1,202,279 entries (75.2%, beginning of 2012: 74.4%) were due to security 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 about existing knowledge about people, only personal data. Most of the persons recorded in NADIS are active in security-relevant areas and have been checked by constitutional protection measures. A record in NADIS does not mean that the person concerned has any criminal, terrorist or similar background. V-people of the constitution protection are not recorded in NADIS for security and protection reasons.
The security expert Janusz Piekałkiewicz considered NADIS to be an important instrument for the protection of the constitution for profiling, with which the various characteristic behaviors of target persons can be saved as a pattern and thus the group of suspects can be narrowed down.
The Independent State Center for Data Protection Schleswig-Holstein criticized the fact that NADIS “contrary to the provisions of the Federal Constitutional Protection Act is not only used as a system for the retrieval of files, but also as a research file for operational purposes of the secret service”. In addition to the actual personal details, information on motor vehicles, locker, account and telephone numbers would also be stored in the Federal Office's NADIS.
The lawyer Michael Ostheimer sees the lively exchange of information between the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the police, which in the case of the Federal Criminal Police Office takes place directly via NADIS, as a dangerous interweaving of police and intelligence information, which undermines the constitutional requirement of the separation of intelligence services and police and therefore called for its abolition by NADIS.
In April 2008, Federal Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble stopped the introduction of the successor system, NADIS-neu, because he feared similar problems and cost overruns as with the introduction of INPOL-neu. A decision on a new system should not be made until 2010. In the second half of 2011, NADIS was to be equipped with a full-text search that would also provide data on innocent citizens who unknowingly had contact with target persons.
24 June 2012 finally the modernized system was NADIS WN ( Na chrichten d ienstliches I nformation s ystem W KNOWLEDGE n etwork) introduced. According to the company, "the legally permissible storage and analysis options have been optimized".
