The Privacy Notice GDPR is a mandatory document required under Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation for organizations operating in Germany. It must be provided to data subjects when collecting their personal data and serves as a primary transparency tool. The document must comply with both GDPR and German-specific requirements, including the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and relevant state data protection laws. The privacy notice should be written in clear, plain language and must include specific information about data processing activities, data subject rights, and contact details for data protection queries. It's particularly crucial for German operations due to the country's strict interpretation and enforcement of data protection regulations and the active role of German data protection authorities in ensuring compliance.
