If you have any questions about data protection or this privacy policy, you can contact our data protection officers as follows:

Your data is collected in order to

• legally establish paternity of the minor child or
• assert the minor child's claim to maintenance or
• process your application.

Your data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Sections 1712 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), Section 68 (1) and (2) of the Eighth Social Code (SGB VIII).

Your data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with Sections 1712 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), Section 68 (1) and (2) of the Eighth Social Code (SGB VIII).

Unless we have received your data from you yourself, we only collect your data from the following sources to the extent necessary in individual cases to fulfill our tasks:

• the other parent
• the relevant residents' registration office
• the locally competent immigration authority
• social security institutions
• Social benefit agencies
• Advance maintenance payment agencies or the State Office of Finance
• Your employer
• The job center
• The relevant foreign representation
• Judicial authorities
• the police.

Your personal data will be passed on to:

• the Mainz Registry Office, if applicable, for entry in the birth register for the purpose of determining
• paternity
• where relevant and necessary, to social security agencies, social welfare agencies,
• advance maintenance payment agencies, job centers, employers with a statutory maintenance obligation
• courts, if necessary, for the judicial enforcement of the child's claims
• the parent who has applied for guardianship as the child's legal representative.

Your data may not be passed on to other departments within the Youth Welfare Office (such as the UVG fund or the so-called Economic Youth Welfare Service) without your consent. The same applies to the transfer of data to other authorities or courts. Only in exceptional cases where the transfer of data is necessary for the actual task of the guardian – the determination of paternity – may your data be passed on to other departments.

In the event that legal proceedings are unavoidable because you are not cooperating in clarifying paternity, we may also disclose your data to the foreign mission and may even be required to do so in the interests of the child.

After collection, your data will be stored for 10 years by the state capital of Mainz, or for 30 years in the case of paternity determinations.

The retention periods begin at the end of the year in which the child reaches the age of majority.
