Privacy Law

Data protection and privacy compliance are now some of the most pressing business issues facing organizations who collect, process, and store an ever-increasing amount of personal information. Businesses must have a solid privacy framework in place particularly in light of the rapidly evolving privacy regulatory landscape, and the serious consequences and penalties that attend non-compliance. The impact of business processes or policies on customer data have never been more scrutinized by regulators than now, making foundational privacy policies and practices essential for all companies.
