Federal Court of Justice: Right to deletion of private data in the commercial register (heise.de)

• Individuals can remove non-essential data from commercial registers.
• External data proliferation does not void deletion rights.
• Strengthens the balance between registry transparency and data protection.

"The German Federal Court of Justice has ruled that individuals can demand the deletion of non-essential personal data from commercial registers. This precedent clarifies that the existence of such data on third-party platforms does not negate the right to have it removed from the official registry. This ruling provides a significant defense for personal data autonomy within European legal frameworks."
