Law and data protection

BDSG

Abbreviation for Bundesdatenschutzgesetz

In short and in plain language

The BDSG is the German Federal Data Protection Act.

It adds national rules to the data rules of the European Union.

It also has rules on naming a data protection officer.

Does this affect a care service, and how? That depends on its size and on how it works.
