Computer games and consumer law – What should you be aware of as a player or developer?

Only few people realise that consumer protection regulations must also be respected when developing and playing computer games. It doesn’t happen very often, but even in the Czech Republic we have encountered inspectors from the Czech Trade Inspection Authority checking whether a computer game viola

Law can be a good servant, but in its ignorance, it can also be a bad master. What pleases me most about it is when I can conjure up from a jumble of paragraphs a seemingly simple piece of advice that will be a good and sensible servant. I mostly specialise in health and pharmaceutical law in conjunction with personal data protection. I also like media and advertising regulation, and everything related to food (from paragraphs to culinary travel experiences).

I like to try new things, and my curiosity, which sometimes knows no limits, led me to photography. A good photograph tells a story. In the same way, people and companies write their own stories and I enjoy writing them with them. That's why I'm fascinated by the areas of advertising law and personal data protection, which bring stories to life. In addition, I specialise in contractual obligations and consumer law (including e-commerce projects and administrative proceedings) with a focus on the automotive and cosmetics industries. When I'm not travelling (or at least pointing my finger on the map), you'll find me in the water, on my bike or running, i.e. at a triathlon.

I specialise in contract law, consumer protection law, advertising law and unfair competition. My practice primarily includes providing legal services to clients in the e-commerce, retail and automotive sectors.

Law, as one of the few fields, is characterized by its diversity, bringing together many aspects, especially in practical application. It is not possible to do only technology law and forget about contractual obligations, just as it is not possible to deal with personal data protection or consumer law without taking other branches of law into account. That is something that fascinated me about law — that one is forced to focus on details, but at the same time must always look at issues from a broader (bird’s-eye) perspective.

I knew I wanted to go into the field of law when I was in elementary school. Of course, I had no idea what it would entail and expected the word "objection" to follow me more often than it actually did. Nevertheless, I am convinced that I made the right choice, and I continue to maintain my initial fervor. I have long focused on consumer law and legal specifics in the automotive industry.

I chose to study law because of my affection for history, politics and social sciences. I am mainly interested in privacy and data protection law, together with consumer protection law. I prefer to spend my leisure time away from monitors and displays, travelling, reading, taking photos and doing sports, such as chess, which is fortunately now also considered a sport.
