Published 21 April 2026 · 9 min read
Schnelle Antwort
GeraCompliance automates DSGVO, BDSG, EU AI Act and TTDSG operational work for businesses registered in Germany. We generate your Verarbeitungsverzeichnis (Art. 30 DSGVO), AVV templates (Art. 28), DSFA, AI-Act-Risikoklassifizierung and TTDSG-konforme Cookie-Banner — in German-language PDFs that hold up with your Landesdatenschutzbehörde.
Germany enforces privacy and AI law through 17 Aufsichtsbehörden (16 Länder + BfDI). Bußgeldkatalog amounts in 2024–2025 included €10m against 1&1, €9.55m against vodafone, and scores of smaller fines. Getting the paperwork right is not a nice-to-have.
The German regulatory stack
- DSGVO (GDPR) + BDSG — core data protection. Art. 30 VVT mandatory for most companies.
- TTDSG (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz) — §25 TTDSG requires Einwilligung for cookies and similar storage (stricter than DSGVO alone).
- EU AI Act — German implementation supervised jointly by BNetzA and BfDI; Hochrisiko-KI risk classification, Konformitätsbewertung, Transparenzpflichten.
- DSK (Datenschutzkonferenz) — the permanent conference of German DPAs publishes binding interpretive guidance; we track every Beschluss.
- BfDI + 16 Landesdatenschutzbehörden — BlnBDI, LfDI BW, BayLDA etc.; each with its own enforcement priorities.
- HinSchG (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz) — whistleblower channels mandatory at 50+ employees.
- NIS2 / KRITIS / IT-SiG — for kritische Infrastrukturen and wesentliche Dienste, BSI supervision.

Real German use case — a Hamburg agency
A 40-person digital agency in Hamburg needs a refreshed VVT, a DSFA for a new AI-powered analytics feature, and a HinSchG-compliant whistleblower channel. GeraCompliance generates all three in 6 working days, with the AI-Act risk classification (limited risk, transparency obligations) documented per the JRC guidance and the DSK Beschluss of Q4 2025.
