An embodiment relates to the transmission of a data set to a central data store. A data set is received via a data source. Furthermore, country information is optionally received via the data source. Furthermore, a data classification is determined based on the data set via the data source. Furthermore, the data classification and optionally the country information are sent to a server via the data source. Furthermore, data transmission information from the server is received via the data source. In this context, the data transmission information is based on the data classification and optionally on the country information and the data transmission information relates to the permissibility of the transmission of the data set. Furthermore, the data set is transmitted to the central data store in dependence on the data transmission information.
