The significance of the TDDDG for data protection officers

The Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) is a decisive milestone for data protection in Germany. It specifies and harmonizes the requirements of the GDPR in the area of telecommunications and telemedia. For data protection officers, the TDDDG provides a clear legal basis for better implementation of data protection measures in companies.

Among other things, the TDDDG regulates the handling of cookies, tracking mechanisms and consent requirements for online services. These regulations help to protect the rights of users and also provide guidance for the daily practice of data protection officers.

The TDDDG is highly relevant for the Professional Association of Data Protection Officers in Germany (BvD): It strengthens the role of data protection in digital applications and provides data protection experts with an important set of tools to ensure lawful processing operations.

This law makes it easier to establish clear and transparent processes and provide companies with legally compliant advice. The BvD sees it as its task to actively promote compliance with these regulations and to provide its members with the best possible support in implementing them.
