Privacy and Data Security

Privacy compliance programs built for how your business actually handles data, covering GDPR, CCPA, and the growing patchwork of state and sector privacy laws, with policies and assessments that satisfy regulators without grinding operations to a halt.

Privacy law keeps multiplying, from the GDPR to the CCPA to a steady stream of new state statutes, and each one adds obligations for any organization that touches personal data. A pile of templated policies won't carry you through an audit or a regulator's questions. We build privacy programs grounded in what data you actually collect and how it moves, so compliance reflects your real operations instead of an aspirational document nobody follows.

Building The Program

A workable privacy program starts with knowing your data. We help you map what you collect, where it lives, who it is shared with, and why, then build the policies, internal procedures, training, and accountability structures on top of that foundation. The aim is a program that meets GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable requirements while still letting your teams ship products and run the business.

Privacy Impact Assessments

New products, features, and data-driven initiatives are where privacy problems are cheapest to fix and most expensive to ignore. We run privacy and data protection impact assessments before launch, identifying the risks in a given data use and recommending concrete mitigations. Because our attorneys understand how systems and data pipelines actually work, these assessments engage with the technical design rather than skating over it.

Drafting Policies And Notices

Your privacy policy and notices have to be accurate, because regulators treat a gap between what you say and what you do as a violation in itself. We draft external privacy policies, just-in-time notices, and internal handling procedures that describe your real practices and satisfy the disclosure rules across the jurisdictions you operate in, including consumer rights mechanisms like access, deletion, and opt-out.

Keeping Up With The Law

Privacy requirements don't sit still, and a program that was compliant last year may not be this year. We track legislative and regulatory developments across the U.S. states and major international regimes, flag the changes that actually affect you, and help you update your program in step, so you adapt deliberately instead of scrambling after a new law takes effect.

Frequently asked questions

That turns on where you operate, where your customers and users are located, and what kinds of data you collect. Most businesses end up subject to several overlapping regimes at once, spanning federal, state, and sometimes international law. The first step is usually mapping your data and footprint so you know which laws are even in play.

A privacy impact assessment is a structured review of the privacy risks in a planned data activity before you launch it. Some laws require one for higher-risk processing, and even where it's not mandatory it's good practice for any significant new use of personal data. Done early, it can catch problems while they're still cheap to fix.

At a minimum: what data you collect, how you use it, who you share it with, how long you keep it, and what rights people have over their data and how to exercise them. The exact required disclosures vary by law, and some, like California's, are quite prescriptive. A vague or boilerplate policy is a common enforcement target, so it should reflect what you actually do.

Many laws give people the right to access, correct, or delete their data, so you need a repeatable process to receive these requests, verify the person's identity, find the data across your systems, and respond within the deadline the law sets. Those deadlines and exceptions differ by law. Building the workflow before requests arrive keeps you from scrambling each time.

Yes. Employee and applicant data is personal data, and several states have privacy rules aimed specifically at the workplace. A common mistake is building a compliance program around customer data and forgetting the HR side. Make sure your policies and request processes cover your workforce, not just the public.

Privacy law is moving quickly, with new state laws and amendments arriving regularly, so a one-and-done compliance project goes stale fast. The workable approach is to monitor developments and update your policies and practices as requirements shift. We track the changes and flag the ones that actually affect how you operate.
