The German league staff may decide to protect the data from petitioners and signatories - For public petitions (online petition) as well as for individual petitions.

Reason:

ePetitionen be published for public personal information of the petitioner and the signatories.

for a petition, it is quite satisfactory when the identities of the petitioners and signatories to the petitions committee are known.
A publication of personal data (Full Name or full name and address or Country / State) is not necessary.
A publication of these data, however, prevent individual citizens in political issues in particular their views known to do.

petitions should such elections can be free and secret.

The comparison to elections is obvious, since in either case is a political expression and citizen participation must be protected in the. This is particularly true on issues that are critically discussed in the Geselschaft and which by petitioner or signatory or other harassment their personal environment may fear that if their views become public.

The Petitions Committee argued that the signer is adequately protected even with a publication of the name. This is not so - the more so if the name is rare, such as Stemke.

particular, the directive on public petitions explicitly states that petitions are not released when that "engages in personal rights of people (eg by name). The petitioner should experience the same protection.

Not only press or citizens, even the institutions of the Federal Government manifest occasionally distort or misleading statements to ongoing petitions, as the comment of the Federal Minister of Economics and Technology to the online petition on blocking of Internet sites of 22.04.2009, that of more than 130,000 citizens was signed - to be vilified, despite the danger to the public in ignorance, or ignorance as a child molester.
The Federal Minister of Economics and Technology has expressed himself in such a way as if the citizens which the petition to sign to do bad things.
petitioners and signers must be protected from possible reprisals by the state and citizens. Your personal data are therefore not to publish.
