Data Protection: The "Gold of the 21st Century" and How to Treat it

Data protection and data security are central aspects for business success in today’s information society. The treatment of the personal data of employees, customers, and business partners is not only a matter of trust highly relevant to the public reputation of a company, but is also subject to harsh legal sanctions if data protection regulations are not observed. We can help you to design your data processing to comply with law and regulations and will be pleased to consult with your data protection officer in the examination of specific questions. The commercial importance of personal data is also growing continuously. The implementation of innovative business models to monetize existing personal data is a key to ongoing business success today and in the future, not only in the classic information technology sector, but increasingly also in traditional industry and for mid-size family-owned enterprises as well. Our data protection expertise allows us to support you in developing, designing, and introducing these kinds of business models in the marketplace.
