Data protection
The demand for data protection advice has increased explosively in recent years – and in this area, too, we are highly specialised
We advise on all aspects of data protection law, including with a particular focus on the HR aspects of the area. This includes advice on data transfers between consolidated companies and outsourcing partners, international data transfers and Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs).
In addition, we advise on the implementation and management of whistleblowing systems and privacy policies as well as on the special aspects of social media in this regard. Employee monitoring and supervision, employers' duty to inform and subject access requests are also areas of expertise for us, and we also assist clients with filings and appeals to and inspections by the Danish Data Protection Agency. Our clients are private businesses and public authorities.
We recently
- advised a multinational company on the implementation and management of a global whistleblowing system in a number of different jurisdictions
- drafted privacy policies with a focus on HR-specific challenges
- advised a public authority on the exchange of employee data etc.
- advised a company in the pharmaceutical sector on disclosure of data
