Privacy and Data Protection Law Attorneys

Understanding Privacy and Data Protection Law

In today’s digital age, data is a valuable asset, and its protection is paramount. Privacy and data protection law governs the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information. This area of law is rapidly evolving, driven by increasing regulations, technological advancements, and heightened public awareness of data privacy concerns.

Our team specializes in helping individuals and organizations understand and comply with these complex legal requirements. We cover a wide range of issues including data breaches, data subject rights, international data transfers, and the implementation of robust data protection programs.

Key Areas of Focus

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): We assist businesses operating within the European Union and those processing data of EU residents to meet the stringent requirements of the GDPR, including data minimization, purpose limitation, and data security measures.
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): We advise clients on navigating the CCPA/CPRA, which grants California consumers significant rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt-out of the sale of their data.
• Data Breach Response: In the event of a data breach, we provide strategic legal counsel to minimize damage, manage notifications to affected individuals and regulatory bodies, and mitigate potential liability.
• Privacy Policies and Notices: We draft and review privacy policies and notices to ensure they accurately reflect data processing practices and comply with applicable regulations.
