For years, Tinusch Jalilvand has been dealing intensely with diverse questions of data privacy laws, with a particular focus being data protection in sports. Earlier this week, he received a certificate as “Data Protection Officer (TÜV) according to the GDPR and the new German Federal Data Protection Act”.
Many companies, but even more sport clubs and associations, do not currently meet the applicable requirements under data privacy laws – neither in relation to their privacy policies nor regarding other required documentation nor with respect to the practical implementation of data protection issues. Following the recent practice of data protection authorities and looming claims against different stakeholders in sports, it is to be expected that European data protection authorities will from now on assess more closely whether specifically clubs and associations comply with data privacy laws, failing which they may be sanctioned.
Tinusch helps our clients to implement the complex requirements of data privacy laws in practice, with a view to avoid any fines, claims for damages and reputational harm.
