Cross-Border Data Transfers: Data Flows without Limits?
The transfer of data across international borders is essential for many companies in the digitalized world but poses significant regulatory challenges, particularly in the EU.
The GDPR stipulates serious fines for non-compliance with data protection regulations. We provide support in the establishment of a data protection structure and the many data protection issues that arise in practice.
Even beyond personal data, there are innovations in data law, especially the Data Act. Manufacturers of connected products and providers of realted services must meet access-by-design and data provision obligations. Data processing services must establish cloud switching processes. Discover how we can assist your company in complying with the Data Act here.
We support you with your digitisation plans from a data protection perspective. Often it makes sense to include data protection expertise at the very beginning of the project. However, minor errors can also be corrected immediately before going live. No matter at what stage of your project, we will always be there to provide clear results and practical recommendations for action.
If personal data is disclosed to other companies, this requires justification and often also an agreement on data protection. If a service provider processes the data on behalf of another company, a contract processing agreement must be concluded. We will draw up the relevant contracts for you and, if necessary, negotiate these with the partner.
Whether a service provider has taken sufficient technical and organisational precautions to provide protection commensurate with the inherent risk to personal data is initially a technical, not a legal question. However, we check whether reasonable information has been provided and, if necessary, provide support in the selection of service providers.
Tracking of newsletter subscribers? Re-targeting of purchase cancellations? Google Tag Manager? Lookalike Audiences on LinkedIn? Salesforce Marketing Cloud? We don’t know everything, but we do know the essential tools and possibilities that are available in online marketing. We assess whether certain actions may be carried out without the user’s consent and, if necessary, show ways of obtaining consent and reducing risks.
Cookie banners, cookie policy, privacy information, consent forms. Even simple websites require a whole arsenal of legal texts. We advise you on which tracking and targeting tools may still be used and, if necessary, formulate the relevant texts. We also support you in the legal implementation of Consent Management Tools.
There is hardly a single large company that has not been involved in a GDPR project in the last three years. We have been involved in many of these projects as external consultants. We can help you to set up your company or individual areas, for example marketing or e-commerce, in a GDPR-compliant manner.
Training courses on data protection are a dime a dozen. For many, they are a tiresome compulsory exercise. We mainly offer workshops on specific topics in data protection. Depending on your company’s needs, this can be employee data protection training for your HR team or social media training for marketing. Please feel free to contact us. We would prefer to come to you, but in times like these we naturally offer virtual seminars.
For many smaller companies, the first point of contact with the GDPR was when customers made claims for access to information. We can help with the introduction of (semi-) automated processes for providing information and with the introduction of deletion routines. Every company should have a concept for the deletion of personal data and implement it in practice.
We advise companies on all legal issues relating to the modern work environment. From the digitalisation of the application procedure to the digital personnel file for home office and mobile working to the use of digital control and monitoring measures – we put the digitalisation of your personnel department and employee management on a secure footing in terms of data protection and employment law.
