While Germany is the EU Member State with the largest economy and the highest population in Europe, the working of its data protection law is the most complex to understand.
Enforcement is split between the Federal level and the 16 separate Lander (state) Data Protection Authorities, and each Land has its own courts. Appeals can sometimes go to a higher federal court. In addition, regulatory traditions vary with some DPAs favouring a stricter interpretation of the law while others are more pragmatic.
Attending this one day conference will enable you to navigate this confusing landscape and understand how to take data protection law into account when doing business in Germany.
The optional afternoon roundtable will enable you to exchange experience in a confidential atmosphere with your peers, and discuss how you resolve your issues with others around the table.
