At present, privacy is in the spotlight as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) needs to be implemented. This will cause many changes, but for organizations the challenges ahead actually remain the same, possibly with a different coloring.
For example, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) can start an investigation that concerns you.
Also a citizen can initiate legal proceedings because he believes that the data relating to him are being processed unlawfully. Or you want to offer new services, processes or IT which involve the processing of personal data.
To tackle these issues, it is crucial not to look only at the law itself but also at how data processing takes place within organizations and how legislation is shaped in policy, processes, IT and organization. Coupry has experience with investigations by the regulator, legal procedures, advice and implementation.
