The protection of personal data is an important topic which we at AWI take very seriously. Even before the introduction of uniform European regulations, the previously applicable Federal Data Protection Act and the Bremen Data Protection Act guaranteed data protection standards at a high level. Nevertheless, the Basic Regulation on Data Protection (DS-GMO EU 2016/679), which has been directly applicable in all Member States since 25 May 2018, has brought about many changes that could also be relevant for you as an employee in your daily work.
If you have any questions, suggestions or need advice, you can contact him at any time.:
