Frequently asked question
17 German supervisory authorities monitor compliance with data protection regulations. Your data protection officer is obligated to ensure compliance with these data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 39 (1) DSGVO.
If you do not comply, your company can expect fines of up to 20 million euros or 4% of annual sales. In addition, such infringement will result in a loss of confidence and trust in your company, which is priceless.
Even if you do not need a data protection officer, your company must still comply with all data protection requirements. However, you definitely need a data protection officer if one or more of the following criteria apply to your company:
- You employ more than 20 people
- You extensively process special categories of personal data (such as data concerning a person's ethnic origin, political opinion, religious beliefs, or health)
- You use video surveillance or employ new techniques, e.g. algorithms or artificial intelligence
- In almost all companies that have a connection with personnel: where personal data is transmitted, collected, processed or used on a businesslike basis as a core activity for the company
