Data Protection & Privacy

Data can make for a lucrative business and if used correctly, can help businesses achieve their growth plans. However, with every organisation wanting to obtain more and more data, it’s vital that data is safeguarded as far as possible, whether that’s your own internal confidential information, or data about your clients. Data Protection law is evolving and puts responsibility on organisations to protect data, as well as giving people rights about how their personal data is used.

Working with you, our specialist data protection team can identify how data flows into your organisation and how it is shared externally. We will get to know your information flows, from how your website collects data, right through to your customer management systems. We will support you with making sure that your data is managed effectively and lawfully and ensure that your documents and privacy policies are compliant with the Data Protection Act 2018.
