Likewise, there is often confusion about who the &#8220;competent data protection authority&#8221; is and what exactly it does. We want to change that with this blog post.  <\/strong><\/p><p>Below you can easily and quickly find out which is your responsible data protection authority and how to contact it. On the other hand, you will learn what the tasks of these authorities are \u2013 and how they can help you with information on the subject of data protection. <\/p><p><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h4><strong>What does a data protection supervisory authority actually do?  <\/strong><\/h4><p>Data protection supervisory authorities have many tasks. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datenschutz-grundverordnung.eu\/grundverordnung\/art-57-ds-gvo\/\">corresponding article<\/a> of the GDPR lists 22 (from a \u2013 v). For companies, the tasks in the areas of information and supervision are particularly important.<br>The area of responsibility of supervision is very present in many minds. Among other things, because data protection supervisory authorities can impose high fines for violations of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<br>In addition to the often fearful topic of supervision, it is easy to overlook the fact that data protection supervisory authorities support companies in complying with the GDPR by providing comprehensive information. Among other things, they provide helpful brochures, flyers, short papers, orientation aids, application instructions, etc.<br>At Perseus, we recommend: Use this information from a trusted source to the best of your ability.    <\/p><p><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h4><strong>Which data protection supervisory authorities are there in Germany?  <\/strong><\/h4><p>Each federal state has its own independent data protection supervisory authority. Among other things, it is responsible for the non-public companies that have their headquarters in this state. In most cases, these authorities are therefore your contacts.<br>In addition, there is a data protection supervisory authority at the federal level: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bfdi.bund.de\/DE\/Home\/home_node.html\">Federal Commissioner for Data Protection<\/a> and Freedom of Information (BfDI). Among other things, it advises the Bundestag.<br>All these authorities \u2013 those of the individual federal states and those of the federal government \u2013 together form the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datenschutzkonferenz-online.de\/\">Data Protection Conference<\/a>.   <\/p><p><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h4><strong>What is the data protection supervisory authority responsible for your company?<\/strong><\/h4><p>In most cases, the data protection supervisory authority of the federal state in which your company&#8217;s headquarters are located is responsible.<br>For example, if your company is headquartered in Hanover, your responsible data protection supervisory authority is that of the state of Lower Saxony.<br>So that you don&#8217;t have to search for long, we have compiled a list of the contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities of all federal states at the end of this blog post.<br>Don&#8217;t be surprised: these authorities are often named as the State Commissioner or the Data Protection Commissioner. That sounds like an individual, but behind it is a complete authority.<br>However, for telecommunications or postal service providers and for companies in a case under the Security Clearance Act, the data protection supervisory authority at the federal level \u2013 the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI) \u2013 is responsible. <\/p><p><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h4><strong>When should you contact your responsible data protection supervisory authority?  <\/strong><\/h4><p>Sometimes companies have to contact their responsible data protection supervisory authority directly. For example <\/p><ul><li>for reporting a data breach (for more information, see our white paper &#8220;What to do in the event of a data breach?&#8221;)<\/li><li>in the case of a data protection impact assessment<\/li><li>for reporting data protection officers<\/li><li>for specific questions that cannot be clarified in any other way<\/li><\/ul><p>On the last point: You can clarify many concerns without asking the responsible data protection supervisory authority. But in exceptional cases, information from the authority is a good idea in order to obtain conclusive clarity. An example from the recent past is, for example, the introduction of 2G and 3G regulations in the workplace.  <\/p><p><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h4><strong>With Perseus, you can reduce your fear of contact when it comes to data protection.<\/strong><\/h4><p>Data protection is a company-wide issue.

In short and understandable videos, we provide your employees with knowledge on many important aspects of data protection in companies.    <\/p><p>Test it for yourself.
