The final statement is important: The actual goal of data protection laws, the protection of the personality and the fundamental rights of the persons about whom data is processed, is ultimately not achieved with legally prescribed documentation and administration. Rather, it must be ensured, for example, that data is actually processed as it is appropriate and “promised”. In the context of DLT, this “promise” is replaced by a prescribed protocol, compliance with which can be checked and validated by the participants in the network. It is essential to keep the rules of data protection in mind when designing such a system.
