The entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has elevated the topic of personal data protection onto a level of highest relevance.In the wake of the GDPR’s entry in to force, inadequate protection of personal data can now become a critical issue for businesses, not only causing reputational damage but also significant financial penalties.
The legal experts at Prevence conduct in-depth business data audits and help companies identify and assess data protection risks, develop and implement effective data protection policies, as well as advise on complex data processing operations. We also review all company documentation (including data management and processing agreements) relating to the protection of individuals’ personal data, identify gaps and help draft revisions. We advise on the implementation of data subjects’ rights, data breach notification and response, as well as providing advice on Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and tailored privacy safeguards (PbDs). We draft documents and policies necessary for the protection of personal data on websites and applications: a personal data processing policy, a privacy policy that will comply with all the requirements of the GDPR Regulation, a cookie policy (to help avoid disputes with data subjects and supervisory authorities). We will also develop a video surveillance policy for companies that use video surveillance equipment. We represent you in disputes relating to personal data protection issues.
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPA) is an essential process to ensure that organisations handle personal data responsibly and legally.
A DPIA starts with a comprehensive assessment of the data processing operations and their impact. This means that Prevence lawyers will assess your personal data collection, processing and storage processes, as well as identify potential risks and help you to prepare all personal data protection documentation to avoid breaches.
For most e-commerce websites, cookies (or other tracking tools) are an integral part of their operations, helping them to learn more about their visitors’ behaviour and to provide them with personalised content and other necessary functions. However, the use of cookies requires that companies pay close attention particularly to data protection.
The team at Prevence Legal will help you formulate a transparent and legally compliant cookie policy that safeguards the interests of both your business and your customers.
We will analyse which cookies on your website are considered essential and which require user consent. We will develop a clear consent management strategy that allows users to easily and quickly decide which cookies they wish to accept.
Data breaches can have serious consequences for both the company and its customers, which is why they need to be managed effectively and responded to quickly.
When a data protection incident occurs, time is of the essence. Our experts can help with immediate assessment of the situation, determine the scope and impact of the breach, and identify what data has been affected. We will help you to structure notifications to inform data subjects of the breach as required by the GDPR.
Our goal is not only to help companies manage current data protection incidents, but also to conduct a thorough analysis of personal data protection and make the necessary changes in order to prevent potential future threats.
