Who needs GDPR awareness training – and why?

If you handle customer, employee or business-partner data in Germany, then data protection is already part of your day-to-day operations – whether you realize it or not.

You don’t need to become a GDPR expert. You need to recognize when an everyday business decision has data privacy implications and know when to escalate a potential issue.

When does an organization need a DPO in Germany?

Germany’s Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) generally requires the appointment of a DPO where at least 20 individuals are regularly involved in the automated processing of personal data. Furthermore, a DPO may be required where core activities involve large-scale regular and systematic monitoring of individuals or large-scale processing of sensitive personal data.

About me

Hi, I’m Aaron – a German-American dual national and data privacy consultant based in Bavaria, Germany.

I am a Certified Information Privacy Professional (IAPP CIPP/E) and Certified Data Protection Specialist (DEKRA). I help companies understand and implement German and EU data protection requirements.

For more than 20 years, I have worked on legally and commercially sensitive matters on both sides of the Atlantic for prestigious law firms, public authorities, SMEs and multinational corporations as a certified translator/interpeter specialized in business & law. This background gives me a practical understanding of international business, regulatory requirements and the importance of clear, reliable communication.

All consulting and training is delivered by me personally, in English or German.
