Subject of the work is a comprehensive analysis of the constantly criticised Art. 12-14 GDPR. In the process, the behavioural economic background of the information duties is first discussed in an abstract manner. Taking these fundamental findings into account, all controversial issues of Art. 12-14 GDPR as well as their excep-tions in §§ 32, 33 BDSG are discussed in the style of a large commentary. After a brief comparative law review, all results of the work are consolidated in concrete regulatory proposals de lege ferenda. In this way, the work attempts to contribute to the improvement of a regulatory field that has been strongly discussed in society, not only since the entry into force of the GDPR.
