Data Protection Policy

As a law firm, you handle sensitive personal data from clients, employees, and other stakeholders on a daily basis. A clear, comprehensive Data Protection Policy is essential to ensure that your firm complies with GDPR, maintains client confidentiality, and protects against data breaches. Our Data Protection Policy is tailored specifically for the legal industry, helping you establish best practices for data management and demonstrate your commitment to safeguarding personal data.

Our Data Protection Policy covers all key aspects of GDPR compliance and provides clear, actionable guidelines for managing personal data:

Data Processing Principles

Outlines your firm’s commitment to processing personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently in compliance with GDPR. It details how data will be collected, stored, used, and shared while ensuring minimal data collection and processing.

Data Security Measures

Specifies the technical and organisational measures in place to protect personal data, including encryption, access control, and data backup procedures. This section helps safeguard client and employee information from unauthorised access and breaches.

Employee Responsibilities

Defines the roles and responsibilities of employees in handling personal data, ensuring that everyone in the firm understands their obligations under GDPR. This includes training requirements and protocols for reporting data breaches.

Data Subject Rights

Outlines how your firm will handle requests from individuals to access, correct, or erase their personal data, as well as manage objections to data processing. Ensures your firm’s compliance with GDPR’s data subject rights provisions.

Data Retention and Disposal

Provides guidelines on how long personal data should be retained, and outlines procedures for securely deleting or destroying data once it is no longer required, ensuring compliance with GDPR’s data retention principles.

Third-Party Data Sharing

Details how your firm will manage and control the sharing of personal data with third parties, such as service providers or legal authorities, ensuring that data is only shared under lawful circumstances.
