data protection
Schoenherr's data protection lawyers advise on all kinds of legal questions concerning data, such as data transfers, databases, whistleblowing systems, data security standards and data loss or misuse.
The team assists its clients on all aspects of data protection, including international data transfers, setting up global databases, implementing whistleblowing systems, safeguarding adequate data security standards, and providing immediate legal assistance in case of data loss or misuse.
Our regulatory lawyers also frequently represent clients in matters before the Austrian data protection regulator.
To address the demands of the new European data protection regulation in particular, Schoenherr has established the Schoenherr Privacy Academy, which gives first-rate guidance in this new area of privacy law.

Mandatory user accounts in webshops: compliance risk and potential fines under the GDPR
When more than three quarters of a country's adult population shop online, e-commerce is no longer merely a business trend but a regulatory challenge. According to the latest data published by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, in 2025 77.2 % of the Hungarian population aged 16-74 had made an online purchase, with more than half of consumers (54.8 %) shopping online within the previous three months. This level of market penetration has inevitably attracted increased regulatory attention, with competent authorities becoming ever more active in scrutinising the lawful operation of webshops.
