Avoid liability risks due to the GDPR from 25.05.2018 The practical implementation of the new data protection law

Event details

The event will present the most important measures that you need to take in your company now in order to counter the liability risks from 25.05.2018. At the same time, the basic structures of the new regulations will be conveyed so that you can deal with the legal area safely even beyond the immediate measures. It is also shown that a proactive approach to data protection law and in particular the data protection authorities opens up opportunities if this is approached correctly.

The GDPR has an impact on both a small and large scale. For example, twelve pieces of information must now be provided to the data subject each time data is collected. Some of this information is easy to compile (e.g. the name of your company), but some of it also requires very precise examination (e.g. if the exact legal basis for data processing is to be communicated, the duration of storage or the existing rights of the data subject). This already applies to simple matters such as newsletter consents or data protection declarations on websites. However, forms must also be reviewed, as the requirements for consent change and the question of the extent to which old consents remain effective must be investigated. Even software and technical devices may need to be adapted in order to comply with the new principle of data protection-friendly default settings.

However, completely new liability risks also arise, e.g. for those who merely store data for a third party. Whereas the BDSG previously did not provide for any liability for these persons, they are now also responsible for ensuring that the storage is permissible under data protection law. More complex solutions need to be found when data is transferred across national borders, for example if service providers are used abroad.

We look forward to seeing you there!
