Information and
Transparency Obligations

Transparency is a cornerstone of the GDPR. Data subjects must be informed about the processing of their personal data in a timely, clear, and easily understandable manner (e.g., through privacy notices).

Legal background

Articles 12, 13, and 14 of the GDPR oblige controllers to inform data subjects about the processing of their personal data in a concise, transparent, and intelligible form. This must happen at the time the data is collected or, if the data originates from third parties, within a reasonable period. The core of these obligations are privacy notices, for example, for websites, apps, or vis-à-vis customers.

Our support for you

As your external DPO, we create privacy notices for you for various contexts to ensure that they comply with legal requirements and are understandable.

We support you in fulfilling the comprehensive information and transparency obligations towards data subjects and advise you on transparent communication about your data processing activities to minimise risks arising from ambiguities.
