Privacy Regulations, Policies & Compliance

Someone said that, "Data is the new oil." Businesses have more information about their customers than ever before.  Consequently, state, national and international governing bodies are beginning to enact privacy regulations to protect the use of information involving people. Examples are the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and California's Consumer Privacy Act which takes effect in 2020.

MacDonald Illig's lawyers have experience in advising clients on preparing policies which comply with these regulations. They guide clients through the process of understanding what data they are in possession of, how that data can permissibly be used and what information must be disclosed to customers in order to comply with these regulatory requirements. They also review existing policies to make sure that the policies comply with the new requirements.
