Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Company legal form
German term or phrase: identitätswahrend
Context:

Diese Steuerneutralität betrifft derzeit in Deutschland wohl nur die europäischen Gesellschaftsformen SE und SCE , da nur diese gesellschaftsrechtlich nach der in Deutschland noch herrschenden
Sitztheorie ihren Sitz identitätswahrend in einen anderen Mitgliedsstaat
verlegen können, also ohne den Verlust ihrer Rechtspersönlichkeit be-
fürchten zu müssen

whilst retaining/preserving their legal (entity) status [legal form]
Explanation:
This seems to be what is meant here, rather than the protection of privacy of individuals (the added paraphrase "...also ohne den Verlust ihrer Rechtspersönlichkeit befürchten zu müssen" also appears to support my suggestion).

Further comment on "identity" proposed by Barbara Bright - I wouldn't use this term at all when referring to the legal form of an entity/company. The literal translation is incorrect here.

disagree  Steffen Walter: This is about legal forms of companies, not about the protection of privacy provided to individuals. / Your notion of a disagree being "not collegial" misses the point - I am entitled to post disagrees as long as they are justified linguistically.

  -> Question is only about identitätswahrend, and the term in English "protecting identity" is correct, doesn't matter what kind of entity. Point.
