Data protection
Technological innovation and data usage offer unprecedented possibilities. At the same time, the scope and complexity of privacy and data protection regulations have increased substantially due to, among other things, the arrival of the GDPR. Our Privacy Team helps you to navigate these complex privacy and data rules effectively. To do this, our Privacy Team combines in-depth knowledge of the sector with strategic advice on all the risks surrounding privacy and data compliance, from managing data breaches and handling data subject claims to enforcement by supervisory authorities.
