Data protection law regulates the handling of personal data in order to protect the privacy and rights of individuals. It defines how organizations and companies may collect, store, process and disclose personal data. Some examples of typical aspects of data protection law and related examples are listed below.
Data collection and consent
Companies must obtain the consent of data subjects before collecting or processing their personal data.
Example: A website that asks users for consent before using their email addresses for marketing purposes.

Data protection
Organizations are required to take appropriate security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss or theft.
Example: A company uses encryption technologies and firewalls to ensure the security of its databases.
Right of access and correction
Individuals have the right to access their own personal data and correct it if it is inaccurate.
Example: A user requests a copy of the data stored about them from an online service and corrects their address.
Data transferability
Individuals have the right to transfer their personal data from one service provider to another.
Example: A customer wishes to transfer their account activity and history from one bank to another.
Duty to report data breaches
Companies must report any data protection breaches to the supervisory authorities and data subjects. In Hesse, this would be the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
Example: A company informs its customers about a security breach in which their personal data has been compromised.
International data transfer
Data protection law regulates the transfer of personal data across international borders and specifies the conditions under which this is permitted.
Example: A company in the EU must ensure that it takes appropriate security precautions when transferring personal data to a service provider outside the EU.
These examples show how diverse data protection law is and how it serves to protect the privacy and rights of individuals.
