The Conference of the independent Data Protection Authorities of Germany (Konferenz der unabhängigen Datenschutzaufsichtsbehörden des Bundes und der Länder; DSK) published its generally applicable principles on imposing GDPR fines on companies. By publishing its concept, the DSK follows the Dutsch DPA (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), which as a first authority within the EU, published its own policy on imposing fines in March, 2019. However, DSK's methodology is more complex and seems to result in much higher fines.
