Law in online retail rarely decides success — but often decides cost. This subject area turns an uneasy feeling into a state you can prove: mandatory details, data processing, advertising.

Most cease-and-desist letters and fines arise not from intent but from omission. A unit price is missing, the privacy policy is two years old, a partnership is not labelled. You can only prove what is documented — and documentation is created before the case, not during it.

The courses in the order the topics appear. GDPR in Online Retail sorts processing activities, consents and the deletion concept. Advertising Law & Cease-and-Desist Letters checks mandatory details, price information and the right way to handle a letter. The E-Commerce Law & Compliance Masterclass connects both with contract and competition law into a robust frame.

For shop owners, marketing and e-commerce leads without their own legal department, and data protection officers of small companies.

How to choose your entry. If you do not know which data you process at all, start with GDPR in Online Retail — that is where the record emerges that answers every further question. If you have a letter on your desk, start with Advertising Law & Cease-and-Desist Letters.

The E-Commerce Law & Compliance Masterclass is the right frame when contracts, competition and liability are added — or when you need a state that survives an external audit.

A sequence that has proven itself: data protection first, then advertising, then contracts. Whoever starts with advertising law changes wordings without knowing which data sits behind them.

All courses can be booked individually and run on fixed dates in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and live online.
