find_supervisory_authorityRead-onlyIdempotent
Finds the competent German data protection supervisory authority by federal state, postcode (PLZ) of the main establishment or authority ID, with competence, website, key figures from the latest activity report (with evidence links), focus topics and notes for SMEs. In Bavaria, public bodies are supervised by BayLfD, companies by BayLDA. If a postcode spans two states, it asks back. Not for authorities outside Germany.
