Germany has 17 DPAs, each covering a region. Plus there is a federal DPA, apparently. Where do complaints go on cross-border situations? (www.datenschutzkonferenz-online.de)

Where should an Article 77 GDPR complaint be sent when a cross-border scenario involves a data subject outside of Germany?

Do data subjects have a choice between the federal agency and the regional?

I could not find any PDF forms for art.77 complaints in Germany. Do they exist?

The list of agencies is on this page:

(update) The data controller refers me to the federal office, but I don’t trust that. I’ll probably contact the regional office, which has their own form.

Everything related to the #GDPR is discussed here. This is the first and only community specifically for GDPR topics which is decentralized and outside of walled-gardens. #EDPB recommendations and guidance can and should also be discussed here.

For the moment, chatter on the similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) could be discussed at least until the volume of messages compels us to split it into a separate community.
