Privacy & Data Security

Policies & Operational Compliance

Overview

We work closely with telecommunications providers, online platforms, and technology companies to develop robust privacy and security policies and ensure operational compliance with relevant laws and industry standards.

We guide clients in understanding their obligations under various privacy and security regulations, such as GDPR and CCPA, and provide strategic advice on implementing best practices to protect sensitive data and minimize risks. Our team offers expert counsel on data governance, incident response planning, and risk management, helping clients establish strong privacy and security programs tailored to their unique business needs.

We provide customized solutions to help clients build customer trust, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce the risk of costly data breaches and enforcement actions. Our comprehensive services include privacy policy development, drafting and reviewing policies and procedures, creating privacy and data security programs, and conducting employee training on privacy, data security, and business practices.

Our attorneys also have extensive experience reviewing website, cloud, and SaaS terms of service, ensuring that these legal agreements adequately protect our clients’ interests. By having clear terms and conditions and binding consent mechanisms on websites, such as click-to-agree plugins, we help reduce the risk of legal disputes between providers and customers or website visitors.
