Further important decisions for new data protection rules are planned for the current year. The e-privacy regulation is to be adopted in the coming months. In the area of ​​electronic communications, it is intended to supplement the GDPR and is currently being negotiated at EU level. Bitkom criticizes the planned regulation. "With the current draft, the e-privacy regulation endangers software updates and restricts advertising-based business models on the Internet ."

The EU is also currently negotiating the so-called E-Evidence Regulation . This is nigeria gambling data intended to make it easier for law enforcement authorities to access electronic evidence. Law enforcement authorities in one member state could therefore require providers to release electronic evidence at short notice, even if they are based in another member state. Bitkom also sees a need for improvement here. "Private providers should not carry out fundamental rights checks without involving national authorities," says Dehmel.

Note on methodology: The information is based on a survey conducted by Bitkom Research on behalf of Bitkom. 502 people responsible for data protection (company data protection officers, managing directors, IT managers) from companies in all sectors with 20 or more employees in Germany were interviewed by telephone. The survey is representative.
