First introduction

Data is valuable and the possibilities of data collection and processing have increased rapidly in the digital age. Therefore, data privacy is an issue that affects us all. Did you know that Europe’s data protection regulators have received more than 95,000 complaints about possible data breaches since the adoption of a landmark EU privacy law in May 2018? Would you also like to be able to assert your data protection rights if necessary? Then basic knowledge of the protection of personal data is an important prerequisite! Furthermore, data breaches can have existentially threatening consequences for companies, which is why you as an employee need to have basic knowledge of data protection.
