The Association of Data Protection Officers Germany (BvD)
The Association of Data Protection Officers Germany (BvD) represents the interests of more than 1,800 data protection officers in companies and public agencies as well as consultants from all over Germany. Founded in 1989, it is the oldest interest group in the industry. From our Capital Office in Berlin, we coordinate our commitment to modern and feasible data protection.
Our aim is to raise public awareness of data protection issues and the important role of data protection officers. We cooperate with policymakers, the business sector and supervisory authorities on the continuous improvement of data protection. In doing so, we see ourselves as pathfinders for the digital future. After all, the increasing complexity of our communication society requires a strong professional association for data protection officers.
