Is it possible to revoke authorization certificates already issued to private and public service providers in case of misuse?

type: Frequently asked

A service provider's authorization can be blocked if the authority responsible for issuing authorization certificates (Vergabestelle für Berechtigungszertifikate) finds or confirms any misuse. Any suspicions are first examined by the Vergabestelle für Berechtigungszertifikate in the course of administrative proceedings. In this context the competent data protection supervisory authorities can be involved.
