Data Protection
Data Protection law is concerned with protecting the privacy of individuals (such as employees and customers) whose data is held by organisations. Data Protection law applies to every organisation, whatever its size and whichever sector of the economy it operates in.
We have lawyers who are experienced in advising organisations on all aspects of Data Protection law. Our services include:
General Data Protection Advice
We have experience in advising organisations on all aspects of Data Protection law including:
- How to deal with a request from an individual to see the information that your organisation is holding about them. A request of this type is known in Data Protection law as a subject access request.
- Transferring data about individuals outside the European Economic Area.
Data Security Breaches
If your organisation is in the unfortunate position of suffering a data security breach we can advise on the steps you can take to minimise its impact.
Data Protection Documentation
We can assist your organisation in drafting, reviewing and negotiating the documents required by Data Protection law. These include:
- Privacy policies
- Data Protection policies
- Data processing agreements. These are required by Data Protection law whenever your organisation sub-contracts activities relating to data about individuals to another organisation
- Reviewing the Data Protection clauses in other commercial agreements
Data Protection training
Data Protection law requires that all staff in organisations which handle personal information are trained in Data Protection law. We can deliver tailored training on all aspects of Data Protection law for your staff.
