Do I need a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?

Companies need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if the company

  • is a public authority,
  • carries out personal data processing on a large scale  regularly and systematically,
  • engages in large scale processing of sensitive personal data.

If you do none of these activities, then you do not need to appoint a DPO.
