Your name: Christian and surname.
Your full address: I would not include my full address (for obvious security reasons) if I were submitting my CV to an Internet site. I would only give my full details if I was replying to an email or I was going to answer a job advertisement by post.
Landline and Mobile telephone number: Again I would not include either of these numbers if I were submitting my CV to an Internet site and for the same reasons as above.
Date of Birth: Not everyone recommends that the date of birth should be included in a CV. I like to do so because I want any possible employer knowing my age.

Languages: In the global workplace having more than one language is a definite advantage. And as you have probably come to this web site because you are learning a second language you are such a person. Be sure to point out whether you can speak and write another language. If you can only speak another language you should say so.
Health: Again not everyone recommends this but I do it for more or less the same reasons as I do for my date of birth.
Profile: This should be a brief description of who you are (your character) and your main achievements in life.
