Was sind personenbezogene Daten?
Bei einem Namen, einer Adresse oder einer Telefonnummer wird niemand ernsthaft anzweifeln, dass es sich um personenbezogene Daten handelt. Schließlich kann aus allen diesen Daten – vor allem in deren Kombination – auf eine konkrete Person geschlossen werden. Wer sich jedoch im Internet bewegt, muss dies zwangsläufig mit einem elektronischen Endgerät tun, welchem immer vom Anbieter des Internetzugangs eine IP-Adresse zugeordnet ist. Und auch diese IP-Adresse zählt zu den personenbezogenen Daten. Denn theoretisch (und auch praktisch) ist es möglich, allein anhand dieses Merkmals einen Nutzer recht eindeutig zu identifizieren.
Warum ist die IP-Adresse anonym?
Es ist also nicht überraschend, dass die IP-Adresse nur mit expliziter Einwilligung des Nutzers erhoben werden darf, was allein schon Websitebetreiber in ernste Schwierigkeiten bringen kann. Denn jeder Webserver speichert – wenn dies nicht explizit abgeschaltet ist – jeden einzelnen Zugriff auf eine Seite mitsamt der aufrufenden IP-Adresse. Um diesem „Massenphänomen“ entsprechend zu begegnen, sind die meisten Hosting-Anbieter dazu übergegangen, IP-Adressen nur noch anonymisiert in den Logfiles der Webserver zu speichern. Dies bedeutet in den meisten Fällen, dass statt einer IP „aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd“ lediglich die ersten drei Ziffernfolgen „aaa.bbb.ccc“ gespeichert werden.
