Data Protection Law
Due to the recent changes in Data Protection we make sure to advice our clients with the best option to follow to ensure that they comply with the legislation that is needed based on their working practises and inside policies. We deal with procedural matters and give the right notifications and applications in a way to ensure our clients compliance with the necessary regulations. Our highly specialised team ensures that any investigations made by the relevant authorities such as the Commissioner of Data Protection in Cyprus based on allegations for violation of Personal Data are done correctly and lawfully without violating any of our client’s individual rights.
Personal information is a quintessential ingredient for the operation of any organization. The General Data Protection Regulation has significantly enhanced the rights of individuals in respect of their personal information and has introduced new parameters for organizations. Recognizing the changing environment, the Firm has formed a team of dedicated lawyers, whose sole focus is, to assist clients in all aspects of data protection law.
As a firm we have adviced business and organizations of their obligations and liabilities against Data Protection and offered guidance on privacy policies, codes and any other related issue that might arise. Our team has also advised individuals of their rights relating to Data Protection Law and especially about potential infringement within their workplace as well as with the best possible solutions protecting their work but also their rights.
