Your law firm in IT law and data protection law in Hamburg
Legally compliant design of digital business models, GDPR compliance and reliable protection against expensive warnings.
As your personal lawyer in Hamburg, I will guide you safely through the legal requirements of the digital world – clearly, understandably and at eye level in German, English and Spanish.
Do you want to secure your website in compliance with the GDPR?
Legally compliant websites and online shops
A faulty imprint or an incorrect cookie banner are invitations for warnings.
I will conduct a comprehensive legal review of your website or online shop and create tailor-made, legally compliant privacy policies.
Data protection for companies (GDPR)
Compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation is mandatory for companies.
I will support you in implementing data protection concepts, creating records of processing activities (ROPA) and in data protection-compliant employee management.
IT contracts and SaaS law
Whether it’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), license agreements, web design contracts or complex IT project contracts.
I will individually draft and review your contracts to minimize your liability risks and clearly secure your rights.
Received a warning?
Have you received a warning regarding competition law, a GDPR warning or a letter regarding
an alleged infringement of image rights? Do not sign anything prematurely.
I will review the
letter and defend against unjustified claims.
Online marketing and social media
Newsletter marketing (double opt-in), social media presences and tracking tools harbor enormous data protection risks.
I will advise you on how to use marketing tools and campaigns in a legally compliant and data protection-compliant manner.
Other IT and data protection law questions
Especially in IT and data protection law, one can quickly get lost in technical details.
As your sole practitioner in Hamburg, I translate IT law into understandable language and look after you in a completely personal, flexible and transparent manner.
Frequently asked questions in IT and data protection law
Generators often only offer standardized basic protection. As soon as you use special
tools on your website (e.g., analysis plugins, complex tracking cookies, payment service providers in the shop, or social media integrations), standard texts fall short. Errors or omissions can quickly lead to expensive warnings. An individual review by a lawyer protects you legally against financial risks.
Fines by the data protection authorities threaten for serious violations, such as the
unencrypted transmission of customer data, missing data processing agreements (DPA) or the unauthorized disclosure of data for marketing purposes. In addition, competitors or special associations warn about faulty cookie banners or impermissible privacy policies under competition law.
In Germany, the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (whether internal or external) is generally legally mandatory if at least 20 people in your company are continuously involved in the automated processing of personal data (e.g., through work on computers, CRM systems, or email traffic).
Regardless of the number of employees, a data protection officer is mandatory if sensitive data (e.g., health data) is processed.
Stay calm and note the deadlines, which are usually very short. Never sign the enclosed cease and desist declaration with penalty clause without checking it, as it often binds you to strict contractual penalties for life.
I will check for you whether the warning is justified at all (keyword: abuse of process) and, if necessary, modify the declaration to your advantage. In parallel, we will technically and legally secure your website.
Data Scraping involves automatically reading out data on websites. If personal data is copied en masse without a legal basis (as occurs in social
networks), this constitutes a serious GDPR violation. Affected users often have considerable claims for damages against the responsible platform operators who have inadequately protected their systems.
A legally compliant cookie banner must not contain pre-checked boxes for non-essential cookies (e.g., marketing or tracking cookies like Google Analytics).
The user must be able to choose between “Accept” and “Reject” absolutely freely and equally. The options must not be misleading in their design (prohibition of “dark patterns”). Only after the user’s active consent may the corresponding scripts be loaded.
Free initial consultation
Free initial contact: Our first brief meeting (online or by phone) for an initial assessment of your IT or data protection law concern is completely free of charge for you. To enable me to give you well-founded feedback during the conversation, it is best to briefly describe your problem in advance and send me the warning notice received, the contract, or the link to your website via the contact form or by email.
Transparent lawyer’s fees: Since the costs for an IT lawyer are legally dependent on the economic value of the matter (the amount in dispute) or are agreed individually, a flat-rate price cannot be given for every procedure in advance. Based on your details, however, I will immediately determine the estimated costs for you. Based on this transparent assessment, you can decide absolutely freely whether you wish to mandate me.
Don’t worry: The lawyer’s fees will be explained to you in full transparency from the outset. Money should not be an obstacle to setting up your company legally or to defending yourself against unjustified warnings. In case of financial difficulties, we can gladly arrange a fair installment payment plan.
