Privacy legal assessments, legal opinions and interpretations
We have conducted many privacy legal assessments on privacy, data protection and the protection of personal information. Our privacy legal assessments are valued by data protection authorities or a court that may have to rule on any point of privacy and data protection law. Sometimes we provide interpretations (rather than assessments) because of no precedents.
A privacy and data protection interpretation portrays a particular way of interpreting the law (or applies the principles to your business activities). Basically it comes down to an argument your business could use to explain to anyone why your company is acting in compliance with laws of privacy and data protection. We have covered various questions or points, including (for example):
- Who falls within the definition of a customer?
- When is a transfer to another country lawful?
- Whether a product or service is lawful?
- Whether a certain digital direct marketing activity is allowed?
- How to value an ‘appropriate privacy measure’?
- What is needed for automated decision making to be in compliance with the law?
- And many others privacy and data protection questions
