General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
It’s crucial for your organization to comply with the GDPR, as the obligations and responsibilities around personal data processing are significant. These include:
- Maintaining a processing register
- Drafting processor agreements
- Implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures
- Ensuring personal data is not stored longer than necessary
The GDPR also strengthens and expands individuals’ privacy rights. For instance, it grants the right to data portability (allowing individuals to transfer their data) and the right to erasure (enabling individuals to request the deletion of their data). Consent requirements have also become more stringent. Your organization must adapt to these rights, especially since data protection authorities now have greater enforcement powers, including the ability to impose substantial fines.
However, many businesses struggle with the practical implementation of these complex and abstract privacy regulations. Our privacy lawyers make GDPR compliance clear, actionable, and manageable.
