English: Click here to go directly to the cheat sheet!

This Data Protection Cheat Sheet is intended to serve as a general orientation for web designers and developers as well as, of course, for every interested website operator in order to prepare websites and commissioned works in accordance with currently valid German and European law.

Peter and I have taken the knowledge we have gathered over the past few months on the occasion of the GDPR and developed this list. It is still "work-in-progress" - currently I am, for example, searching for the relevant legal bases, judgments and statements / articles of lawyers. We also invite everyone to contribute via this Github repository .

Disclaimer

The Data Protection Checklist cannot address individual cases and does not constitute legal advice, but is merely a collection of knowledge that has been compiled from extensive research, our own experience and "best practices" of various developers and is constantly being further developed. We assume no liability and recommend to consult a lawyer for legal questions in any case.

Would you like to get involved?

This repository lives on being corrected and supplemented - therefore we would be happy if you would like to add your knowledge to our cheat sheet. Depending on your level of experience and technical knowledge, there are several possibilities:

• You can leave a ticket at Issues to discuss bugs, additions or make suggestions for new features.
• You can download this repository to your own machine, make changes yourself, and then submit those changes to our list via pull request.
• If you are not so familiar with Github, you can of course also submit Pull Requests directly through this website.

We are looking forward to your participation! If you submit your own changes and additions, you will of course be named as a contributor in this readme.
