We are really excited because two days ago we release the new version of our websites! We implemented lots of cool new features and completely redesigned the interface. You can find an overview of all new things in a blog article (https://www.datarequests.org/blog/v2-release/) and in this thread, in which we want to introduce them to you:

datarequests.org v2: Refreshed interface and complaint generator · datarequests.org

Yesterday, we released the next version of our website with many improvements: A new interface for the request generator, more comprehensive request history, a fancy new homepage and a generator for complaints and admonitions.

We cleaned up our homepage and now directly link to the request generator. Instead of a single overwhelming page, we split the request generation process into several steps. We take you by your hand and lead you through the process until you sent your request.

And even then, we don‘t leave you alone. Often, companies never answer or they try to block your request with additional requirements. With our new admonition generator, we now help you assess whether a reply was legitimate and if not, you can reinforce your request by sending the admonition we generate for you. In order for you not to get confused with all the requests and admonitions, we combine them in the new request overview.

Of course, we never get to see your data — just as before. Instead, we save it on your computer, or rather, in your browser. And if that is still too much, you can just deactivate it in the privacy controls: https://www.datarequests.org/privacy-controls/

If, after your admonition, the companies still didn’t react, you can make use of your right to complain as guaranteed by Art. 77 GDPR. To do so, you have to argue in what way the controller misbehaved — but don’t worry, we automated that too. With the new complaint generator, we can generate the arguments out of the previous messages to the company that you can then send to the responsible authorities.

Our non-profit operates the websites completely volunteer-based. So all of these changes were only made possible because the @PrototypeFund supported our members @zner0L and @baltpeter using funding by the @bmbf_bund. We are incredibly thankful for that. If you want to know more, read up on it on our transparency page: https://www.datarequests.org/verein/transparency/
And now go on and send your requests!

Transparency · datarequests.org

In order for you to be able to trust us, we pledged to be as transparent as possible about our procedures, finances and decisions. Because of that, we have joined the Initiative for a Transparent Civil Society, an initiative by the German branch of Transparency International, which is allowed to audit us on a sample basis. They ensure that we will keep our promise of transparent management. On this page we summarized all the important information that we publish as part of that.
