For whom in Cologne is data protection advice worthwhile?
Data protection and data security have many facets. The European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Data Protection Act for North Rhine-Westphalia (DSG NRW), which applies to Cologne, oblige all stakeholders to comply with numerous regulations relating to personal data. This affects, for example
- the 59,600 companies in Cologne
- the 242 clubs listed on koeln.de
- the many freelancers in the cathedral city
Data protection obligations in Cologne
The people of Cologne have done well with slogans such as "Kenne mer nit, bruche mer nit, fott domet", "Et es wie et es" and "Et kütt wie et kütt". However, the serenity enshrined in Cologne's constitution is unfortunately not so easy to transfer to data protection.
Extensive information obligations must be taken into account. For example, the persons from whom data is collected must be informed of their rights in good time. This includes the right to information about which data relating to them is processed and in what form, their right to object to processing, their right to rectification if data is incorrect, their right to erasure of data and their right to data portability. A privacy policy must be created for this on the website of the trading company based in the metropolis on the Rhine. But that is by no means all. This must also be complied with. This alone presents many players in Cologne with the question of how they should implement this.
In addition, those responsible are required to implement a range of technical and organizational measures (TOM) to protect the data and to document them. These range from appropriate access security to the buildings where data is stored, to obliging employees to comply with data protection regulations, to concluding data processing agreements to ensure that service providers comply with data protection regulations. Here too, companies are faced with many questions. It is very time-consuming for you to deal with all aspects of data protection and always stay up to date, as the laws must always be taken into account in their current version.
