A complete privacy policy in all languages

Why a professional GDPR translation is necessary

  • Avoidance of fines: Violations of the GDPR can result in fines of up to 20 million euros or 4% of global annual turnover.
  • Legal certainty: A professional translation ensures compliance with all legal requirements in the target countries.
  • Customer trust: Accurate and understandable data protection information in the local language fosters transparency and trust.
  • Competitive advantage: Exemplary data protection practices can set you apart positively from competitors.

 

In addition to the numerous challenges regarding personal data, the strict requirements for multilingual websites must also be taken into account. These require the full provision of the privacy policy in multiple languages for foreign customers.

The following requirements apply to you:

  • If a website is operated solely in German in Germany, the language requirements of the GDPR do not need to be further considered.

  • If a multilingual website is operated in Germany, every operator is required to offer their privacy policy in compliance with German law and make it "easily and understandably" available to their customers in the offered European languages. A precise legal translation is sufficient, provided it adheres to EU guidelines for the respective language.

  • For transactions between European and non-European countries, however, a country-specific, legal revision is necessary. Since there is currently no case law or precedents regarding the GDPR, it is risky to only consider European languages.

    Therefore, it is currently advisable to have the relevant texts translated into all languages offered on the website.
