Data protection compliance in the European Union can be very time consuming and costly for foreign companies trying to enter the market. In particular, the penalties for non-compliance are very high, up to 2% - 4% of worldwide sales in a previous year. Foreign companies are legally obliged, if they offer goods or services in the European Union, to also comply with the applicable data protection regulations, especially if data are collected (e.g. via the homepage) and processed from persons, who are citizens of the European Union. Here, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) and the company's representative (EU representative) in the EU play an important role. This German company offers the services of both roles, either the external Data Protection Officer with his duties, regulated by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Art. 39 GDPR) or, if your company does not have a branch in the EU, as an representative in the EU according to Art. 27 GDPR. The company and its employees support clients worldwide who offer their products and services in Europe. Due to its many years of experience in the entire compliance-relevant area of a company, the company has comprehensive knowledge of the data protection laws relevant for Europe. In doing so, the firm works closely with the client's management and staff to protect risks associated with the data processing of EU citizens and tries to protect the company from penalties. Since the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect, collecting, managing and protecting personal data in compliance with applicable laws has become a major task for any company, which can result in significant penalties in the event of a breach. However, the loss of reputation if a data protection incident becomes known can also result in significant impact on success in Europe. This German company works with global clients across various industries to ensure GDPR compliance in all business operations in the European Union. In doing so, it offers services as an external Data Protection Officer, which is firmly regulated by Articles 37 - 39 of the GDPR. This service ranges from identifying and legally documenting the relevant data protection processes in the company, advising and assisting on the necessary content of data protection contracts with suppliers or in the preparation of the European standard contract clauses (SCC) when transferring data, to processing legally regulated with requests or complaints from data subjects to the authorities regarding internally processed personal data (Art. 12 - 21 DSGVO). They are looking for business partners in need of assistance regarding data protection or companies interested in entering the European market.
