External data protection officer and his deputy

If your company regularly processes personal data, it requires a data protection officer in accordance with Art. 37 GDPR. In addition, according to § 38 BDSG (German national data protection law), your company requires a data protection officer if at least ten persons are constantly engaged in the automated processing of personal data. We will provide you with an external data protection officer.
