Data protection law – Safe handling of personal data
In einer digital vernetzten Welt sind personenbezogenen Daten von (potenziellen) Kunden und Nutzern für viele Unternehmen und Organisationen von hohem wirtschaftlichen Wert, so dass ein großes Interesse an der Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten besteht.
Data protection is intended to create clear rules for the collection, processing and storage of data by companies and organizations in order to prevent misuse and protect privacy in an increasingly digitalized world. Measures such as transparency obligations, consent requirements and technical and organizational data security measures are intended to ensure that data is only processed lawfully and comprehensibly.
Compliance with the GDPR and other data protection regulations is not only a legal obligation, but also a decisive factor for the trust of your customers and business partners. Our law firm offers you comprehensive legal advice and tailor-made solutions to meet the challenges of data protection with confidence.
Why is data protection so important?
The term data protection covers all measures that ensure the protection of personal data from misuse. Companies that process personal data must ensure that all data protection requirements of the GDPR and other regulations are complied with. In addition to protecting the fundamental rights to informational self-determination and the privacy of data subjects, the main aim is to minimize legal risks that may be associated with violations.
Since the GDPR came into force and the associated high penalties of up to EUR 20 million or 4% of total annual global turnover, data protection and compliance with legal requirements have become increasingly important for many companies.
The challenges of modern data protection
Advancing digitalization and the associated networking of business processes are significantly increasing the complexity of data protection. Companies are confronted with the following issues:
- Legally compliant processing of personal data: How can data be collected, processed and stored without violating the GDPR?
- Transparency and information obligations: What information must data subjects receive and how can data protection guidelines be communicated in an understandable way?
- Technical and organizational measures (TOM): What security precautions are necessary to prevent data loss and misuse?
- Data transfers abroad: Under what conditions may personal data be transferred to third countries?
- Responding to data breaches: How should companies proceed in the event of a data leak or cyber attack to limit damage and avert legal consequences?
Our experts are familiar with these challenges and develop practical concepts that are precisely tailored to the needs of your company.
GDPR – The basis of a transparent data policy
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the centerpiece of European data protection law. It defines clear rules for the processing of personal data and sets strict standards for companies of all sizes. Our law firm will assist you with the practical implementation of the GDPR requirements:
- Implementation of the basic principles:
We support you in anchoring the principles of lawfulness, purpose limitation, data minimization and storage limitation in your company. - Rights of data subjects:
Our advice ensures that requests from data subjects – such as requests for information, rectification or erasure – are processed in a legally compliant and timely manner. - Documentation and verification:
We help you to fulfill the necessary documentation and accountability obligations so that you are always prepared in the event of an official audit.
Preventive data protection as a strategic competitive advantage
Consistently implemented data protection can do far more than simply comply with legal requirements. Companies that regard the protection of personal data as an integral part of their corporate strategy benefit from:
- Building trust:
Transparent data protection measures strengthen the trust of customers, business partners and investors. - Image management:
Exemplary handling of data sets you apart from your competitors and promotes the long-term loyalty of your target groups. - Risk minimization:
By taking proactive measures, you can prevent costly data protection breaches and avoid damage to your image that can result from public criticism or negative media coverage.
