The EU’s general data protection regulation stipulates in article 39 a certification for data protection. It is interesting to compare what data protection certifications already exist in German speaking countries. The differences are large: Austria has nothing, in Germany Schleswig Holstein developed in 2000 the basis for a data protection certification. In Switzerland a private data protection seal has existed since 2002 and the Principality of Liechtenstein will soon have a regulation for data protection certification in place.
