Applicable Material Law

There is a Data Protection Act of Hamburg (Hamburgisches Datenschutzgesetz - HmbDSG). Corresponding § 1 HmbDSG it makes complementary arrangements to the GDPR and regulates specific situations of data processing for which the GDPR is not applicable.

The first section of the HmbDSG has general provisions. In the second section the basic principles for data processing are mentioned. The third section contains provisions about specific situations of data processing. The provisions of the fourth section regulate specific situations of data processing for which the GDPR is not applicable. The fifth section contains the provisions about the rights of data subjects.
