StGB

Abbreviation for Strafgesetzbuch

In short and in plain language

The StGB is the German Criminal Code.

It says what a crime is and what the penalty for it is.

It also contains a duty to keep secrets for some jobs. Nursing staff can be among them.

This can matter when outside service providers could reach such data. One example is the firm that hosts the website.
