CRM is extremely sensitive, often illegal. In this publication, the author first gives a comprehensive, systematic presentation of the characteristic and essential data breaches which arise from processing personal data in CRMs.

A closer look at typical CRM system components and programs shows if, where, and to what extent the law is being violated in technical processes. CRM data processing is additionally investigated for further potential private rights violations. Finally, the author presents technical, organizational and legal solutions that can help avoid or minimise these violations of the law.

This book serves as the basis for data protection plans, internal rules and training in IT law, corporate computer science and marketing.

The fledgling data mining and data warehousing technologies are conquering the modern business world at a rapid pace. They enable information hidden in large databases to be unearthed and allow economical and timely data management systems.

Through various links and analyses of the systematically collated customer data in the data warehouse, previously unknown information about customers can become known. These newly acquired personal data can then be used for various purposes, such as direct marketing, cross-selling or traded on the commercial market. In practice, this happens very often without the awareness of the persons concerned. This then raises numerous data protection issues discussed in this book with examples and cases.

This book specifically offers private companies initial guidance on data protection issues arising from the implementation and daily use of data mining and data warehousing. It discusses the requirements for lawful acquisition, care, processing, analysis and sharing of personal data.

This is the first German-language legal handbook on data protection to deal specifically with the latest data mining and data warehousing technologies.

This publication is intended to be a practical guide for private companies so that they do not infringe data protection laws when using data mining and data warehousing technologies. The publication also provides a commentary on the Swiss Data Protection Law and the European Data Protection Directives which took effect on 24 October 1998 in all EU member states.
