Solutions
DATA PROTECTION BY DESIGN
In today's digital world, privacy and data protection are just as important as the innovations that are generated with data – and users’ consent plays a pivotal role in this conflict of interests. However, explaining this conflict of interest to users in such a way that they can make real decisions that meet their needs is challenging. Consenter bridges the gap between the expectations of users, data-driven services, technology providers and regulators. By providing seamless, user-friendly privacy solutions, Consenter helps users control their data, ensures legal compliance for businesses, and increases trust in the digital world in an empirically validated manner.
DATA PROTECTION BY DESIGN
Admins & Hackers is the next generation of data protection training. With Admins & Hackers, data protection becomes engaging and interactive. Our serious game offers a hands-on learning experience where participants actively engage in developing data protection and security strategies as a team, solving real-world challenges. Admins & Hackers excites and sensitizes your employees about privacy and data protection and is suitable for all job roles without requiring prior knowledge in data protection. Admins & Hackers is available in two forms: as a board game for on-site training and as an online game.

DIGITAL SELF DETERMINATION
Digital self-determination is not only about privacy and data protection; it means that users are empowered to make autonomous decisions, in the digital world through digital means. Mauerschau is just an example of how this may work in the area of history production and media consumption. Mauerschau is an immersive AR experience platform that brings together multiple perspectives from experts and laypeople on the construction and fall of the Berlin Wall. In the Mauerschau, you’ll experience the contrasting viewpoints of a divided city through cutting edge dramaturgic digital means.

L&I Technology
Building on the Consenter project (Your Privacy Lawyer), we supplement the Consent Agent and Consent Banner developed with user-friendly data subject rights. A so-called Privacy Dashboard enables consumers to understand, with a few clicks, why personalised content is being displayed to them and to adapt these parameters to their needs. The Privacy Dashboard thus provides a visual, common interface through which websites and advertisers can disclose to consumers their advertising profiles.

In this project, we are solving the current cookie banner problem by developing user-friendly consent procedures. A central element is a consent agent that helps consumers to better understand their data protection risks and to decide accordingly, while avoiding consent fatigue. The project is also creating a certification programme that guarantees consumers and companies that the data collected will be treated in accordance with the GDPR.

In this project with the city of Berlin, we are modeling a data governance process to facilitate the sharing of data between the government, civil society and private companies. Our aim is to support the use of data in smart cities for the common good and to advance the digitalisation of the administration that is necessary for this aim.

As part of the BMBF funding programme ‘Making repositories and AI systems usable in everyday care’, eight collaborative projects and one scientific support and networking project are being funded. We support the research consortium with our legal expertise in simplifying data access for nursing staff and for AI researchers in the case of fall prevention. A central element here is the development of GDPR certification programmes.

In this accompanying research project, we are using an interdisciplinary approach to examine the legal, technical and economic conditions for successful data trust models. To reach this aim, we are developing in our legal module a toolbox to develop various data governance models that can be used to solve standardised conflicts of interest in data in a cost-effective way.

In this research project, we are working with several research partners to develop solutions that help website operators to overcome their knowledge uncertainties. By defining GDPR provisions for websites, we are creating criteria that determine how website owners should operate their blog in accordance with the GDPR.

In this expert opinion for the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband – vzbv) we, together with my colleague Dr. Nina Herbort, developed a framework for the regulation of personalised advertising. Our proposal aims to reduce the current lack of transparency for consumers and advertisers and thus to create a much more efficient online advertising market in Europe.

For the Antrieb 4.0 research project, we have developed standardised guidelines with the help of partners in the field. These guidelines enable data to be shared while protecting trade secrets. In this way, drive manufacturers, machine manufacturers and operators can exploit the potential of data-driven innovation without having to fear competitive disadvantages.

In this accompanying research project, we worked with engineers and environmental economists to develop a criteria catalogue for GDPR-compliant processing of personal data in buildings, as well as visual elements for user-friendly information. An important result are conceptual elements for a dashboard to support environmentally friendly behaviour in buildings, which meets both high privacy and autonomy requirements for its residents.

In this project, we developed interdisciplinary concepts and methods in a team of lawyers, UX and UI designers as well as social scientists, which can be used to develop user-friendly privacy measures and empirically test their effectiveness. In doing so, we developed prototypes, in particular for user-friendly transparency measures (including privacy icons) and usable choice architectures.

In this project, we supported an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and human interaction design researchers in the development of user-friendly anonymisation procedures for mobility data. An important component of this was the development of a certification programme for these anonymisation procedures.

In this project, a team of innovation economists, computer scientists and lawyers developed a blueprint for cities that is designed to help them access data from private companies for the common good. The blueprint was developed on the basis of a use case together with and for the city of Hamburg. Central building blocks are a legal framework for corresponding data access claims and a data trust to clarify and control the data access and usage conditions.

In this project, we carried out a data protection impact assessment for a smart city project of the company Cisco and developed a corresponding privacy by design solution. This use case also formed the basis for a game jam in which we worked with over 30 game designers to develop educational games to raise awareness of the public and employees for privacy and security issues.

The Entrepreneurship Research Lab supports internet-based entrepreneurship by connecting researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals. Part of the lab was the development and operation of several startup clinics, in particular a startup law clinic in which we advised over 140 startup founders on legal issues related to their innovation processes. The data collected formed the basis for an investigation into the effects of regulation on innovation processes using the example of the principle of purpose limitation in data protection law.

Team
Max von Grafenstein studied history and law in Regensburg and Munich and trained as a European film producer in Ludwigsburg, Paris and London. In Berlin, he developed his first interactive media project Mauerschau, a mobile augmented reality app with location-based eyewitness stories about the construction and fall of the Berlin Wall. He wrote his doctoral thesis on the regulation of data-driven innovation. As part of the interdisciplinary research group ‘Internet-enabled Innovation’, he also headed the HIIG Startup Law Clinic, in which he supported over 140 startups in solving legal issues with regard to their product and business model innovations. In 2018, he took up the interdisciplinary professorship of Digital Self-Determination at the Berlin University of the Arts as part of the Einstein Centre Digital Future research network. There, he and his team of designers, social scientists and lawyers develop user-friendly data protection solutions.
