Data & privacy issues

We understand that information and data is now, for many clients, critical to the organisation’s success and that all clients are impacted by how they handle personal data.

The information and data an organisation collects, holds, controls and/ or processes must be adequately (and safely!) collected and used to ensure it can be commercialised and used effectively (including looking after your staff appropriately).

Our commercial lawyers, based in Kent, can advise you on:

• GDPR/ data protection compliance, audits, policies, procedures and contractual mechanisms
• Privacy policies (both internal and external)
• Information and data sharing arrangements (both domestic and international)
• Data subject access requests
• Data breaches
• Employment related issues (such as use of CCTV and covid-19 policies)
• PECR and E-marketing
• Cookies and relevant policies
• Social media issues.
