Abstract
The public opinion likes transparency as a means for an open and democratic society. But private persons develop a tendency towards the other direction and feel backed by their human rights. Therefore it needs a balance between transparency for democracy and fair markets on the one hand and intransparency safeguarding private spheres, human dignity and data protection on the other hand. There is no general rule reconciling both; an evening out must be found for each particular situation.
