Your Tasks
Our initiative offers a comprehensive range of information and support for local political activists who are affected by hate and violence. In order to strengthen our team and professionalize our association's work, we are looking for lawyers to advise the association on data protection law with the following focal points:
- Contact person within the association for questions relating to data protection
- Collaboration in the development and implementation of the association's data protection strategy
- Assessing and monitoring compliance with the GDPR and other data protection regulations
- Reviewing and designing consent and information documents (e.g. data protection declarations, forms, website content)
- Support in the selection and evaluation of external service providers (contract processing, cloud services, etc.)
- Advice on the secure processing of sensitive data
Important:
- This is not the role of a data protection officer - no formal data protection responsibility is transferred.
It is currently not planned for data subjects to contact our association directly with legal concerns. We do not provide legal advice.
