Your guide to Germany's federal data protection act
Understand how Germany’s BDSG complements the GDPR, when it applies, and to whom. See where European and German law intersect and what that means in practice for your organisation.
The six principles of the GDPR also apply in Germany, but the BDSG makes them stricter in key areas. With practical examples, you’ll see exactly what Germany expects beyond the European standard.
GDPR rights are familiar. The BDSG goes further, with additional rules for employees and public authorities. This module shows you where Germany raises the bar.
The BDSG adds additional rules on appointing a Data Protection Officer, keeping records, and handling requests. Learn how to make compliance systematic rather than ad hoc.
Employee privacy is at the heart of the BDSG. After this module, you’ll know exactly what is allowed and what isn’t, in everyday HR and workplace practice.
