WHO IS RIGHTNOW?

RightNow is a consumer claims purchasing company founded in 2017 by Dr. Benedikt Quarch, Phillip Eischet and Dr. Torben Antretter. Based in Dusseldorf and Berlin, RightNow buys claims from consumers who cannot or do not wish to enforce them alone. To date, the legal tech company has helped more than 450k customers claim millions of refunds against airlines, insurance companies, fitness studios and more. They also support customers in claims against large corporations for data privacy violations. With RightNow, customers can sell their problem and claim back the money they are entitled to with ease.

How has GDPR CHANGED THEIR business?

According to Article 82 of the GDPR, any person who has suffered material or non-material damage because of a privacy infringement has the right to receive compensation. RightNow have tapped into this emerging market to support consumers with claims against large corporations such as Facebook. Another example is Mastercard, whose 2019 data breach affected over 90,000 people. By actively helping those affected, RightNow has leveraged the GDPR to help support their customers to exercise their rights.

“E-commerce is all about people. We do more than just store personal data: we monetize it. This makes it critical for us to stay on the safe side of data protection law. DataGuard helps us do exactly that.”

“As a non-profit, we often work with so much personal data – names, email addresses, phone numbers, and more. We have to be on the safe side when it comes to privacy.”

“DataGuard's team of privacy experts is what makes the difference. They don't just tell us "do it like this", they also explain why it should be done in a specific way – which helps broaden my team's knowledge base.”

"The requirements with regard to data privacy and information security recently increased massively with our automotive customers, similarly to our industrial customers from other industries."

"With DataGuard, there’s a certain amount of hours included in our package. It covers the amount of questions that I have and gives me peace of mind that I won’t get a huge invoice at the end of the year, because that’s what happens when you send a lawyer a message, they start working until you say stop."

“DataGuard allows us to automate responses which saves time and money. And if we ever have a question, they have a team of experts standing by to help. It is like having a pain reliever."
