Beck C. H. DS-GVO: Datenschutz-Grundverordnung. Kommentar

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is directly applicable in all EU Member States European data protection law for companies, private individuals and the public administration. Even over five years after its entry into force, the necessary fundamental legal rethinking is only partially overcome. The regulations of the GDPR must be interpreted independently from the context of the entire European law. Even where the GDPR still leaves individual - often significantly overestimated - scope for the national legislator, Member State regulations must be interpreted and applied in the light of the provisions of the regulation. The recitals to the GDPR have particular weight. They are an integral part of the regulation and must therefore be taken into account in interpretation as the standard text itself. The rapidly growing case law of the European Court of Justice on data protection is increasingly influencing data protection practice down to detail. It forces a constant critical revision of existing data protection concepts - even those that were only created on the occasion of the validity of the GDPR. Benefits at a glance: Consistent European orientation of commentary. Clear system without "national ballast". Embedding the presentation in the overall system of European law Intensive incorporation of the ECJ case law Consideration of EU data protection authorities documents The new edition captures the extensive jurisprudence of the ECJ on the GDPR and addresses the upcoming decisions in perspective. The documents of the European Data Protection Board (EDSA) are intensively considered. The commentary refers to the numerous controversial questions on the basis of European law interpretation methods. The national supplementary regulations of Germany and Austria to the GDPR are presented and are always taken into account under critical assessment from a European law point of view when commenting on the relevant provisions of the GDPR. Issues of data transfer between the EU and important third countries such as the USA are given special attention Target group For internal and external data protection officers of companies and authorities, management of European-oriented companies, legal departments, human resources departments, marketing professionals, lawyers, judges, law.
