Data protection
We advise commercial, charity and public sector organisations on data protection, privacy and freedom of information.
We take a practical and commercial attitude aimed at minimising the burden of compliance. Our approach is risk based, identifying real threats and providing you with the tools to tackle them without making unrealistic recommendations.
If you are considering changing the way you collect data or making new uses of data, we can help ensure that you comply with data protection requirements. Our team regularly advises on the data protection aspects of acquisitions, joint ventures and outsourcing.
Our expertise in the data protection and privacy requirements of e-commerce and email marketing means we are able to help you design compliant data capture systems and campaigns.
