Online seminar Data protection and anonymization

In every company and organization, personal data is collected and stored. Data protection is not only a legal requirement, it is an important obligation to customers. In addition, good data protection can also be a figurehead for one's own company.

However, data protection is often seen as a "chore" and a brake on innovation.

• First - how can data protection be ensured in my organization?

• And how can anonymization help to use personal data for innovative applications while maintaining data protection?

• Examples from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries will also be presented.

• Afterwards, there will be a Q&A session for questions.

In this event, we try to answer these questions regardless of prior knowledge and to convey the basics.

Data protection is not a problem for computer scientists and lawyers, but relates to the rights of individuals and their data. That is why this seminar is not only aimed at data security professionals, but at anyone who wants to know what happens to their data.
