Providing an External Data Protection Officer
Under Article 37(1) of the GDPR, a company is required to appoint a data protection officer if its core activity consists of the carrying out of processing operations which, by virtue of their nature, their scope and/or their purposes, require extensive, regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects, and the core activity consists of the extensive processing of special categories of data in accordance with Article 9.
Companies are generally required to appoint a data protection officer if they have 20 or more employees who are involved in the automated processing of personal data, according to Section 38 BDSG. This includes all relevant categories of employees, such as full-time and part-time staff, IT staff, trainees, freelancers and temporary staff. Automated processing already includes the use of computers, mobile phones or tablets. However, a DPO is also required if personal data is used for business purposes (e.g. market and opinion research) or if a company’s core business involves extensive processing of certain categories of personal data.
Health data is not the only sensitive data that requires a DPO. Other data such as criminal history, religion, and sexual orientation are also considered sensitive.
