Implementation of a data protection management system at the Oppel Group

The introduction and continuous support of our data protection management by aubex gives us the opportunity to fully focus on our core business and the change in the automotive industry. Together, we not only meet the legal requirements, but also increase our customers' trust in our company. 

As an expert for solutions in the automotive industry, we not only know the needs and desires for practicality, but also the market and many service providers in the automotive environment. By working with the Oppel Group, we have succeeded in turning data protection into added value.  

‍
The Oppel Group

‍
With 350 employees, the Oppel Group - consisting of Autohaus Oppel GmbH, Oppel GmbH and Spedition Oppel GmbH - is a full-service automotive provider with 13 automotive brands at six locations. The existing brand diversity - from Mercedes-Benz to Volvo - makes it possible to always offer the right mobility solution and thus satisfy the different needs of customers. The turnover for Autohaus Oppel GmbH & Oppel GmbH amounts to about 70 million € per year.

Our challenge

‍
At the beginning, efforts to keep data protection in mind from the very beginning and on an ongoing basis, while at the same time pursuing economic interests, seemed incompatible. It quickly became clear that this would tie up personnel resources and require regular professional training. On the other hand, we saw internal acceptance as a problem: marketing relying on data use versus data protection regulating data use. In summary, data protection was initially seen as a "showstopper.

Our results

‍
Even before the DSGVO came into force, aubex, a leading automotive service provider, was commissioned to look after data protection management. Together, we have successfully built up a data protection management system over the years and are continuously developing it together.

Whether it's a data protection review of new processing operations or the data protection-compliant implementation of planned marketing campaigns - we can consult aubex at any time and get the help and support we need in a timely manner.  

‍
As a result, we save internal resources by supporting aubex, which in turn are available to us for optimizing customer support and thus our main tasks.
 

Our conclusion

‍
We are convinced that clean data records and transparent processes play a major role in increasing trust in our companies. For us, compliance with data protection regulations is the basis for long-term, well-functioning and strong customer relationships. The high level of acceptance and increased sensitivity within our operations show that data protection is now seen as an opportunity across all companies. Everyone in the company can play an active role in implementing it.
