Mastering New Legal Requirements: Safe Handling of Data Protection under German Whistleblower Protection Act
13:30
Groundfloor Stage
The German Whistleblower Protection Act came into force at the beginning of July. German companies must now take action.
In the session of our partner DataGuard, you will get an overview of the essential requirements from a data protection perspective when setting up a whistleblowing system and case management. How to conduct a DPIA and what TOMs are necessary will be some of the covered tropics. In addition, you will learn practical tips on the conflict between "confidentiality vs. transparency obligations". Relevant case law and the position of data protection authorities, including fines imposed to date in the area of whistleblowing, will also be discussed.
