Frequently asked questions

How does Germany's data protection differ from GDPR?

Germany supplements GDPR with the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) and has 16 state-level DPAs with independent enforcement powers. Cleo tracks decisions from all German authorities.

What is the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act?

The LkSG requires companies with 1,000+ employees to monitor human rights and environmental risks across their supply chains. Cleo automates third-party screening to meet LkSG requirements.
