GDPR/DSGVO regulates email flood
Although the General Data Protection Regulation is likely to rank high as the most often received email subject of 2018, it also has its good sides: for example, it has been introduced in part to help regulate the flood of emails and newsletters we all receive in our mailboxes. Thanks to the GDPR, many of us have consciously dealt with our email newsletter subscriptions and have had our email address removed from several distribution lists. The result: a slightly less crowded mailbox, which should provide some relief!
Short communication paths are on the rise
With the huge growth in use of social networks over the last 15 years, new methods of communication have developed in parallel to email traffic. Mobile apps for smartphones and messenger services have become very popular, and today our lives are dominated by digital technologies.
Whether using WhatsApp or Snapchat in our private life, Skype or Hipchat in our work or professional environment, Dropbox as a cloud storage application, or Apple’s Wallet as a mobile payment app – communication and transactions happen at any time and at any place: fast, simple, everywhere!
Mobile travel assistants
Even during your most happy time of the year, there are a variety of apps that have been designed to accompany travellers on their holidays. From digital travel guides and destination and event apps, to Apple’s wallet for managing various documents – these can all inform you quickly and easily.
But how can travelers not only receive information, but also send information and save time and resources? There are several areas where apps can assist, without you having to search, print out and carry along accounting documents, directions and invoices spread across the thousands of emails in your mailbox?
We also asked ourselves these questions, and our answer is:
