PRIVACY & DATA
Commercial or personal privacy concerns?
​​​
Businesses and individuals divulge personal information in nearly every transaction or interaction they have; with how organisations collect, use, store and disclose it an afterthought.
We help clients navigate Canadian (federal and provincial) and UK-EU privacy and data protection law regimes, offering real-time and practical solutions to businesses; enabling them to implement best practices into their operations and mitigate liability.
Likewise we support individuals looking to access their personal information held by healthcare organisations, private corporations, federally-regulated businesses, and the federal and provincial/territorial governments.
