Supervisory authority
Die Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit der Freien Hansestadt Bremen
www.datenschutz.bremen.deResponsible for all private-sector controllers headquartered in Bremen. For cross-state groups, the main-establishment principle under Art. 56 GDPR applies.
Bremisches Ausführungsgesetz zur DSGVO (BremDSGVOAG)
The Bremen data protection act specifies the GDPR for public sector bodies in Bremen. Private businesses fall under the GDPR and the BDSG, with supervision handled by the LfDI Bremen.
Supervisory practice
LfDI Bremen regularly imposes fines under Art. 83 GDPR. Focus areas: employee data protection, cookie compliance, international data transfers. Current cases are documented in the annual activity reports.

Bremen and Bremerhaven are the logistics gateway to the world. Port operators (BLG Logistics, Eurogate) and maritime service providers process tracking, crew and freight data across complex international supply chains, where data protection meets customs and export control law. Food producers (Vector Foiltec, Hachez) and the aerospace cluster (Airbus, OHB) each bring their own compliance requirements. The LfDI Bremen is compactly staffed compared with the national average, but is considered very approachable, which is ideal for proactive DPO work rather than reactive crisis management.
How the matching works
We match industry, size and language against our partner network. You get two profiles to choose from, no catalog, no sales discovery.
Describe your setup: industry, headcount, any frameworks (TISAX, ISO 27001, BAFIN). Optional: preferred language.
We check suitable DPOs for Bremen and the surrounding area. Industry fit + capacity + response time. You get two profiles, you decide.
Appointment in writing, notification to the relevant supervisory authority, onboarding directly in the Kopexa platform.
Bremen fees range between 400 EUR and 5,000 EUR per month, lower than in Munich or Berlin. Logistics mandates with complex international data transfers sit at the upper end. Through Kopexa you receive flat-rate packages for the DPO service. The Kopexa platform license is billed separately.
The LfDI Bremen is the supervisory authority for all private companies headquartered in the State of Bremen (including Bremerhaven). For corporate groups based outside Bremen, the country-of-establishment principle under Art. 56 GDPR applies.
Key areas are knowledge of employee data protection (§ 26 BDSG, crew tracking, shift schedules), international data transfers (third-country freight documents, US CBP requirements) and the interfaces with customs and sanctions list checks. Kopexa partner DPOs in the logistics field know these interfaces.
Legally yes, since the GDPR requires accessibility, not a local office. For on-site audits and close coordination with the LfDI Bremen, regional proximity is nonetheless practical. Kopexa preferentially places partners from northern Germany.
