Data Privacy FAQs

Data privacy consultancy is the process of providing expert advice to organisations on how to protect the privacy of their personal data. This can include advice on how to collect, store, use, and disclose data, as well as how to develop policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable data privacy legislation. Data privacy consultants can also help organisations to assess their data privacy risks and develop strategies to mitigate those risks.  

Data privacy consultancy can help organisations to develop and implement policies and procedures to protect the privacy of their customers' or employees' data. In addition, data privacy consultants can help  create and maintain compliance with data privacy laws and regulations. 

Data Privacy is today considered an essential part of supporting the digital economy and is increasingly receiving high levels of media attention, primarily or the wrong reasons.  In the UK, the key pieces of legislation governing data protection are the UK General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) (2016/679) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Data privacy is considered a fundamental human right, and data protection legislation exists to protect that right. Data privacy is important because in order for individuals to be willing to engage with organisations, they have to have confidence that their personal data will be handled with care. Organisations are increasingly using data protection practices to demonstrate to their customers and users that they can be trusted with their personal data.
