Data protection in everyday business and e-commerce

Today’s websites must meet numerous technical and legal requirements. In addition to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Telecommunications Data Protection Act (TDDDG) in particular sets clear guidelines for the use of cookies, tracking tools, and external services. Incomplete consent banners, incorrect privacy policies, or the unauthorized integration of third-party providers can quickly lead to warnings, fines, or damage to your reputation.

With our website privacy check, we conduct a structured review of your website for data protection risks—covering everything from cookie management and tracking to external content, information obligations, and technical settings. You will receive a clear assessment of the required actions, as well as concrete, practical recommendations for legally compliant implementation. We support you in making your website as privacy-compliant as possible while ensuring it remains technically functional and attractive.

Data protection check for websites and online shops

With the data protection check for your website or online shop, you can significantly reduce the risk of violating the provisions of the GDPR and TDDDG. As part of our audit, we analyze your website both technically and legally and identify data protection-related vulnerabilities at an early stage.

The aim of the data protection check is to provide you with a solid foundation for a legally compliant, economically viable, and technically functional online presence. You will receive a clear overview of which personal data is processed on your website, where specific action is required, and which measures you can take to minimize existing risks in a targeted manner.

Why you should choose our service

  • Your website and the privacy policy provided there are the publicly accessible flagship for data protection in your company.
  • On the one hand, transparent and clean data protection on the website creates trust among your customers.
  • On the other hand, data protection violations on the website are visible to everyone and are therefore a frequent gateway for warnings and measures by supervisory authorities (e.g., fines).
  • At the same time, there is extensive legal leeway in the area of tracking and audience-oriented advertising, which has a direct impact on the success of your advertising and thus your sales.
  • This is how data protection becomes your competitive advantage.
  • Outsourcing data processing (contract data processing) does not exempt you from legal responsibility.
  • Our attorneys not only have a high level of legal and technical understanding of the subject matter, but also many years of experience in advising website and shop operators.

Frequently asked questions about the data protection check

What exactly is checked during the data protection check?

As part of the data protection check, your website or online shop is analyzed from a technical and legal perspective. In particular, we examine the use of cookies, tracking and marketing tools, integrated third-party providers, and data connections to external servers. The aim is to identify data protection risks transparently and evaluate them in a comprehensible manner.

Is the data protection check also useful for small websites?

Yes. Even smaller websites are fully subject to the provisions of the GDPR and the TDDDG. The use of analysis tools, fonts, embedded media, or contact forms is subject to data protection regulations. The data protection check helps to minimize the risk of warnings and liability, even for small websites.

Will I receive specific recommendations for action after the audit?

Yes. You will receive specific and practical recommendations for adapting your website. These are based on the current guidelines of the data protection supervisory authorities and applicable case law, and include an individual risk assessment so that you can prioritize measures.

Does the data protection check replace a data protection officer?

No. The data protection check does not replace an internal or external data protection officer. However, it provides a comprehensive snapshot of your website’s data protection status and serves as a valuable addition to your company’s ongoing data protection management.

The benefits of our data protection check

Your website and the privacy policy provided there are the publicly accessible flagship for data protection in your company. Transparent and properly implemented data protection creates trust among customers, business partners, and regulatory authorities.
