How Dieter works

"Click by click" to GDPR compliance.

  • Making your company GDPR compliant is not a state, but a process.
  • With Dieter, you manage this process and decide when and where you want to take time for "data protection". Take care of the most urgent problems first and then let Dieter guide you through all other requirements.
  • Just 5 minutes a week is enough to complete a subtask and make your company compliant with data protection regulations in the long term.

Did you know?

All companies must meet the requirements of GDPR . This applies regardless of the number of employees and therefore even for sole traders and solo self-employed persons.

These companies must also comply with the general data protection principles (such as lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, etc.), inform data subjects about data processing and implement technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. In addition, "small" companies are also obliged to keep a register of all processing activities and a deletion concept, introduce processes for the correct handling of data protection violations and much more.

With Dieter, you no longer have to worry. We'll take care of everything you need to fulfill your legal obligations.

Warning letters due to GDPR infringements have steadily increased in recent years. This is exemplified by the numerous warnings issued in the summer of 2022 due to the unlawful use of GDPR fonts by Google. Irrespective of the fact that some of these warnings were not lawful, they were based on a decision by the Munich Regional Court in January 2022. In addition, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled at the end of 2022 that consumer associations are generally entitled to issue warnings due to an GDPR infringement. These (and other) court rulings point to further waves of warnings. These could affect all companies that do not comply with their legal obligations.

A GDPR-compliant website is the first step in effectively protecting yourself from warning letters. In 2022, there were already countless warnings due to the unlawful use of Google fonts. Dieter not only takes care of your data protection issues, but also creates your Legal notice.

The data protection supervisory authorities have started to carry out random checks. For companies with fewer than 20 employees, the statistical risk of being affected by such an audit is over 10:1.

In Germany, around 85% of all German companies were victims of a cyberattack in 2022. Each affected company incurred average costs of around €20,000 per incident. In addition, around 20% of customers terminate their contracts with affected companies or delete their accounts. The risk of being affected is significantly reduced simply by implementing mandatory technical and organizational measures (TOMs).

Almost all German companies use services from companies (Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, etc.) with which an international data protection contract (SCC/JC) must be concluded. In addition, digital service providers necessarily "receive" personal data from their clients for the service offered. In these cases, it is essential to check whether and with whom so-called data processing agreements (DPAs) need to be concluded. Dieter carries out this check and always provides the correct contract.

79% of Internet users are afraid of "data misuse". And quite rightly so! Because since 2022, personal data has been legally equivalent to a currency. Awareness of this is growing all the time. This data should be just as secure as a bank account. And this is guaranteed by the implementation of GDPR.

Over 2/3 of participants in a study on "Consumer data and data protection" (commissioned by McKinsey & Company) stated that they would no longer want to be a customer of a company that does not protect their data or passes it on without a legal basis, or would no longer work with such a company. It also shows that responsible handling of personal data and compliance with all legal obligations is a clear competitive advantage.

It refers to the fact that everyone has the right to determine for themselves what personal (and therefore very private) data about them is collected, stored and used. It also offers the possibility of preventing abuse, fraud and discrimination. Data protection is therefore an essential part of the (fundamental) right to informational self-determination under the German Basic Law. This right protects the privacy, identity and freedom of every person and is therefore essential for a democratic society. Respecting it should be a matter of course for every company.

What our customers say

"I could feel Dieter's focus on the specific needs of the self-employed and smaller companies from the very first steps. This solution meets my requirements exactly, as well as my level of knowledge and ultimately the time I can and want to spend."

Pascal H.
Self-employed developer

"By translating the legal requirements into understandable language, we can easily retrieve all the necessary information. With Dieter, we have found the right solution for our company and created a high level of legal certainty."

"Despite my focus on craftsmanship, I deal with customer data on a daily basis in the form of telephone numbers, invoice and email addresses. Online business is also becoming increasingly important. I therefore want to be sure that I am protected in case of doubt if one of my communication channels is breached under data protection law."

"Data protection should be feasible for every company! Without prior knowledge, affordable and with a small investment of time. That's exactly what this service offers."

Our memberships

That's why Dieter!

Dieter does the data protection. And you do your work.

All required GDPR documents

Dieter creates all the necessary documents for the implementation of GDPR, such as your privacy policy or the register of processing activities. The complex requirements of GDPR are converted in an understandable way and queried using simple yes/no answer options.

The right processes for this

Dieter doesn't leave you on your own, but tells you what to do, when and how. Only with the right processes can you achieve effective data protection and save time and money in the process. You too can benefit from our automated solutions for your company.

Making decisions without prior knowledge

The integrated data protection management system enables an immediate start without prior knowledge. Dieter guides you clearly through all legal requirements and collects your results in one place. Complete your tasks "step by step" and in just 10 minutes per week.

Still undecided?
Book your data protection trip now and check in with Dieter.

Sometimes you just want to strap on your rucksack and set off on an adventure. You pack up and see what happens. It is often unclear when you will arrive where and how. In this case, that's not a problem. The journey itself is the destination.

However, this "backpack strategy" is not recommended on your journey to fulfill all data protection requirements. You should know exactly which stages to take and when.

We plan your trip like a good travel agency. All inclusive, of course. Dieter takes on the role of your tour guide and accompanies you right from the start. That may sound a bit boring. But do you really want to experience an adventure with an uncertain outcome?

Team

DIETER was developed by a lawyer and data protection officer, a UX designer and business economist as well as a data scientist and full-stack web developer.

In addition to a long-standing friendship, we are connected by an increasing number of inquiries on data protection issues and thus a clear realization: existing solutions are very time-consuming and cost-intensive and usually still do not deliver satisfactory results.

Principles of simply Legal GmbH

Joy

We are convinced that everyone should spend as much time as possible in their lives on "activities of pleasure". Fulfilling the legal requirements of GDPR is certainly not one of them for most people. That's why we work to keep this (necessary and) annoying part as small as possible for our customers.

Self-empowerment

Every single person is often capable of much more than they think they are. We can make a small contribution to the empowerment of the individual by breaking through the sovereignty principle of so-called legal experts. (Data protection) law can be largely automated and can be handled by anyone without prior knowledge.

Security

The new digital contract law (Section 312 (1a) and Section 327 (3) BGB) equates the provision of personal data for supposedly free online services with a monetary payment. This means that money and data are legally on an equal footing. Your money should be as secure as possible. Your data too.

 

Function

We are rethinking "law" and are therefore looking for the simplest solution to meet all data protection requirements. This enables our customers to achieve GDPR-compliant processes in the long term and to start with the real "pain points". The level of data protection in every company is built up bit by bit. Our customers receive fundamentally effective protection against fines from day one.
