For whom in Düsseldorf is data protection advice worthwhile?

Data protection and data security consist of many sub-aspects. 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 Düsseldorf, oblige all stakeholders to comply with numerous regulations relating to personal data. This affects, for example

• the 40,763 companies in Düsseldorf
• the 5,098 associations entered in the register of associations
• the many freelancers in the state capital

Data protection obligations in Düsseldorf

The people of Düsseldorf are known for their dolce vita mentality. However, they should not transfer this to data protection without further ado. This is because, above all, extensive information obligations must be taken into account in this area. 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 data protection declaration must be published on the websites of the acting parties based in the state capital. Of course, this must also be complied with. This alone presents many players in Düsseldorf with the challenge of correct implementation.

In addition, those responsible are required to implement a number 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. In short, it is very time-consuming for them to deal with all aspects of data protection and to keep up to date at all times, as the laws must always be taken into account in their current version.
