KNOWLEDGE

Do I have to appoint a data protection officer?

Pursuant to Section 38 (1) sentence 1 BDSG, in addition to Article 37 (1) b DSGVO, a data protection officer must be appointed by the controller and the processor. as well as the processor, insofar as they generally "permanently employ at least ten persons with the automated processing of personal data". processing of personal data".

„Where the controller or processor carries out processing operations subject to a data protection impact assessment pursuant to Article 35 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, or process personal data on a business basis for the purpose of transfer, anonymised transfer or for the purposes of market research or opinion polling, they shall, irrespective of the number of persons involved in the processing, they shall appoint a data protection officer, irrespective of the number of persons involved in the processing.“


What is personal data?

"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). The term "identifiable" also includes information that does not directly identify a person: For example, a customer number, For example, a customer number, a telephone number, an e-mail address or an IP address often allow the indirect identification of a natural person and are therefore considered to be in the same category as, for example, a direct name!

In practice, this definition means that, as a rule, every employee of a company who has a VDU workstation, processes personal data.


Liability for data protection breaches

With the entry into force of the GDPR on 25 May 2018, regulations on liability for data protection violations have also become legally effective:

  • Liability or right to material and immaterial damages (according to Art. 82 GDPR)
  • Fines of up to €20 million or 4% of the company's annual global turnover (under Art. 83 GDPR).
Breaches of duty in the area of data protection can make managing directors and board members personally liable for compensation. Compliance with the data protection regulations is, in the opinion of the European legislator, one of the central tasks of the management. It is the strict standard of care of the general clause of § 43 GmbHG and § 93 para. 2 AktG. A managing director may therefore not plead therefore not be able to claim that he does not have sufficient knowledge or skills or that he has delegated the tasks. Rather, it is the Rather, it is the duty of the managing director to inform himself comprehensively about data protection law or to seek advice and to monitor compliance with the rules in the company on an ongoing basis.

In case of violation of these duties, the liability of the management is therefore also threatened with his/her private assets!


The so-called double opt-in procedure

If you want to send newsletters and advertising mails, you need the explicit consent of the recipients. The double opt-in procedure requires that you have this consent confirmed again.
This is what you have to bear in mind with E-MAIL-MARKETING:
  • The recipient must actively agree (opt-in)
  • The recipient must confirm their consent a second time by validating their data (double opt-in)
  • A confirmation email must not contain advertising
  • Recipients must be able to unsubscribe at any time
Get recipients to actively agree
The recipients of your newsletters must tick the box themselves or otherwise actively consent to receiving newsletters. Consent must be completely voluntary and must not be given under pressure or coercion. An order in the online shop must, for example be possible without a newsletter subscription.

Have your consent confirmed (double opt-in)
If the recipient has agreed to receive newsletters, you must actively confirm the consent via an email with a confirmation link.
Save the consents so that you can prove them in court
You should be able to collect and present the following information to a court:
  • What did the text look like to which the recipient gave consent?
  • What did the confirmation email look like?
  • Date and time of the click on the confirmation link
  • If easily possible: IP address used to click the confirmation link
Recipients must be able to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time
Put a revocation link in every newsletter you send out. Newsletter recipients can revoke their consent at any time via this link.

CAUTION:
Pre-filled checkboxes are no longer permitted!


BGH ruling on cookie guidelines

Now there is clarity about the correct design of a cookie consent
Rulings on the use of cookies: First the ruling from the ECJ then the ruling from the BGH on 28 May 2020 (I ZR 7/16): In fact, there is now clarity about the correct design of a cookie consent ('cookie banner').

This is what your cookie banner should look like:
The ECJ and now also the BGH have decided that the user must actively consent before cookies are used. A "click OK to continue" banner without a decision option for consent is not sufficient! Even a preselected checkbox is not (any longer) permitted.
The user must be able to actively choose his consent and achieve it just as easily as a rejection!
In summary:
  • You need - especially for tracking cookies as well as tools and plug-ins that set cookies - a real (selectable or deselectable) consent of the users of your website.
  • A button "OK - I accept all cookies" or a cookie banner with a pre-selected checkbox is not enough!
  • The cookie banner must also actually block your cookies as long as the user has not consented.
