On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG) went into effect. This meant that the same privacy laws started to apply throughout the European Union. What is the state of implementation and compliance with the AVG now, one year later? That question is the focus of the magazine "One Year of AVG," published by Privacyweb.

In recent years, the focus on privacy and protection of personal data in the social domain has grown enormously. This is partly due to the upcoming change in regulations with the coming into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). This regulation contains stricter requirements and higher fines when the protection of personal data is not in good order. On the other hand, the amount of personal data and the need for data sharing at municipalities has only increased due to the decentralizations at the beginning of 2015. So work to do!
