The Challenge
Data privacy has been a top priority for wundertax from the very beginning. This applies to all collected data, from the first visit to the website to the submission of customers' tax returns. After all, a tax return contains a person's most sensitive data, including tax ID, religion, union membership, and income. Protecting and securing this data has been a focus of the company since its inception.
Even when it comes to data storage regulations and related deadlines, responsible handling of user data plays a significant role in the company's daily operations. All work processes must always meet the current data protection requirements, especially when it comes to customers' personal data in tax returns.
However, as the company's customer base grew, so did the volume of data to be managed, and customers' questions about data protection also increased. wundertax needed more resources for communication and sought a time-saving solution.
Data protection training and awareness of all employees are also essential to wundertax. As a user of the HR software Personio, wundertax looked for a data protection solution that ideally allows for technical integration with Personio. Since collaboration with third parties requires special attention to data protection, the company found the right solution in heyData.
