Data Protection

All organisations process personal data in one form or another, whether it relates to employees, customers, patients, tenants, contractors or suppliers. It is essential that the collection, use and retention of personal data meets the strict obligations set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 and the new standards required by the GDPR.

Our Information Law team provides expert advice and support to a wide range of organisations in a diverse mixture of industries, each with their unique purposes for processing personal data.

We provide organisations with all of the necessary documentation they require to meet their data protection obligations. This includes internal data protection policies, privacy notices and data protection impact assessments. We also produce tailored contracts and agreements which ensure that any sharing of personal data meets the legislative standards.
