Data Breaches and Strategies

Since “data scandals” – whether or not they are actually true or merely the expression of suspicious reporting or inadmissible defamatory criticism – are seen throughout the country as a risk of escalation, it is becoming increasingly easy, even in small businesses, to recognize that there can also be straight, curved, steep, and impassable corridors in the context of data protection. Therefore, a suitable emergency braking system, an airbag, and a “thrust reversal concept” can be useful in individual cases.

For data protection and confidentiality reasons, we are deliberately withholding certain in-depth factual information here. In any case, the legal assistance that may be advertised for informational purposes includes support for specialist departments on the user and affected party side, the creation of data protection concepts, data protection declarations, IT security concepts, group, company, and association guidelines, documentation and accountability obligations, work instructions, social media guidelines, and the analysis and response to data subject requests, whether for information, revocation, deletion, etc.

The incredible importance of data protection law and the right to informational self-determination is evident in society (need for protection, claims, media education), legislation (such as GDPR, BDSG, TMG), politics (overregulation, proportionality issues, loss of control), and business (automation, pursuit of control, control over mobility data) and case law (rulings on census, social media, cookies).
