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

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.

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.
