Known fine case

Unlawful video surveillance of employees and customers over several years without a sufficient legal basis. Originally 10.4 million EUR, substantially reduced by the Regional Court of Hannover in 2023.
Press releaseIndustry clusters on the ground
Hannover is shaped by an unusual mix of global insurance groups and industrial Mittelstand. Hannover Rück, the Talanx group (HDI), Concordia and VHV form a unique reinsurance and direct insurance cluster with particular demands on employee data protection and international data flows. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Continental and Wabco shape industrial privacy, often with TISAX requirements along the supply chain. In IT, Hannover is home to numerous mid-sized firms and the location of the CeBIT tradition. The LfD Niedersachsen is considered approachable but assertive, and the notebooksbilliger.de case with its 10.4 million EUR fine demonstrated the consequences in employee data protection.
