Personal Data Protection
Dubois
We have extensive experience in providing legal assistance focused on ensuring compliance with the law in the processing of personal data in connection with business activities, as well as representing clients whose right to personal data protection has been violated. The scope of practice of this team has significantly expanded with the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR). This legal act has necessitated a complete change in approach to the topic of personal data protection, and its implementation and compliance are associated not only with the necessity for businesses to implement appropriate technical and organizational solutions but also require their ongoing updating.
In light of the above, the legal assistance provided by the team includes:
- Preparation of documentation, the development and implementation of which are the first condition for ensuring compliance with the law in the process of processing personal data (privacy policy, data protection policy, security policy, register of processing activities, information clauses, instructions, and internal organizational regulations);
- Conducting audits covering compliance with personal data protection regulations and the implementation and compliance with internal documentation required by the GDPR;
- Conducting training sessions;
- Ongoing advice to resolve issues related to personal data protection in daily business activities;
- Representing clients in administrative proceedings related to breaches of data protection principles, as well as in compensation processes.
The practice of the team dealing with personal data protection is closely related to the ongoing support of entities providing services electronically, including the support of one of the largest European-scale companies engaged in hosting and domain registration.
