Data Protection

Data-protection compliance in the EU requires organisations to embed privacy principles into every business process that handles personal data. We design

Data Protection covers legal assessment, document preparation and implementation support in Europe. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and organisations operating or transacting in one or more countries. The precise rules, competent authority and procedure depend on the subject matter, jurisdiction and facts, with EU and national law considered together.

Key points

  • Controller and processor roles are determined factually.
  • Each processing activity requires an applicable legal basis.
  • Data minimisation, transparency and security apply continuously.
  • Transfers outside the EEA require a separate assessment.

Jurisdiction and applicable framework

The applicable framework depends on the subject of the service, governing law and countries in which the structure or transaction has effect. EU law and current national legislation are assessed together.

Data-protection compliance in the EU requires organisations to embed privacy principles into every business process that handles personal data. We design and maintain compliance programmes covering lawful-basis selection, data-subject rights, breach notification, and cross-border transfers under the GDPR and national implementing legislation.

We conduct data-mapping exercises, draft the full suite of compliance documents - privacy notices, processing agreements, DPIA documentation, and records of processing - and provide ongoing DPO advisory services.

For international data transfers, we implement the appropriate mechanism (SCCs, adequacy, BCRs) and perform the supplementary-measures assessment required after Schrems II.

What this includes

  • Data-mapping & compliance assessment
  • Privacy-notice & policy drafting
  • Data-processing agreements
  • DPIA for high-risk processing
  • International transfer mechanisms
