DSGVO-Verstöße bei fehlender Einwilligung in Fahrerüberprüfungen
Definition
Taxi and limousine services in Germany must comply with GDPR Article 6 (lawful basis) and Article 13 (transparency). Background checks without documented, explicit consent—or failure to notify drivers separately from job applications—violate DSGVO. Betriebsprüfungen (tax audits) now include DSGVO compliance checks. Penalties range from €5,000 to €20,000,000 depending on violation scale; small operators typically face €10,000–€50,000 fines.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €10,000–€50,000 per audit cycle (estimated); €5,000 minimum statutory penalty per undocumented check under DSGVO Article 83(4)
- Frequency: Annual risk during Betriebsprüfung or customer complaints
- Root Cause: Manual consent workflows lack audit trails; notification documents commingled with job applications; no separation of consent requests
