Privacy
Since the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018, privacy (and the processing of personal data) has become an issue that affects all organizations (both in the public and private sector). We guide our clients in applying the (new) regulations within their organization. For example, we help them draw up (processing) agreements and impact analyses, handle data leaks, determine privacy policies, carry out compliance projects and other privacy issues, for example in the field of international data traffic. We act on behalf of clients in legal proceedings and in proceedings before the Dutch Data Protection Authority (‘AP’) and the Consumer and Market Authority (‘ACM’).
