Personal data protection

Current market trends and legislative projects demonstrate how important it is for innovative businesses to address privacy and personal data protection issues as early as during the development of a given project, in line with the concept of privacy by design. Our project teams assist clients in developing privacy-friendly mechanisms, procedures and documentation. We also advise on the identification and management of personal data processing.

The GDPR is directly applicable, i.e. applies directly to all undertakings processing personal data in the EU.

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the undertaking to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR.

High fines, which can reach up to EUR 20 million or 4% of the total annual worldwide turnover of an undertaking, make personal data protection compliance vital for your company.
