Digital self-determination refers to being in a position to deal with digital information and communication technologies independently, autonomously and solely according to one’s own will.

Digital self-determination is based on the existence of all necessary legal, technical, systemic and personal prerequisites which, in their interaction, permit independent, self-responsible action in accordance with one’s own will with regard to digital technologies.
