An overview of the most important changes to the German Federal Data Protection Act

The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") aims to harmonise European data protection law and to create a uniform European level of data protection. Nevertheless, the GDPR contains a large number of so-called opening clauses which grant the member states a certain scope for implementation in individual areas of regulation. After the adaption of the Federal Data Protection Act ("BDSG") by the German legislator according to the European requirements and opening clauses, further amendments entered into force on 26 November 2019 with the 2nd Data Protection Adaptation and Implementation Act EU ("2nd DSAnpUG-EU").
