Information Management

Data protection is an area of growing concern for many of our clients.

Information Management

Daily business processes mean that companies and public bodies now often hold a significant amount of personal information about their customers.

We help clients to ensure they adhere to the 8 Data Protection Act (DPA) principles that the information they hold is:

  • fairly and lawfully processed
  • processed for limited purposes
  • adequate, relevant and not excessive
  • accurate and up to date
  • not kept for longer than is necessary
  • processed in line with your rights
  • secure
  • not transferred to other countries without adequate protection

We can advise you on:

  • developments in the law and Information Commissioner decisions and guidance
  • data outsourcing
  • data sharing and information exchange arrangements, and we would assist on responses to subject access requests
  • compliance with Freedom of Information requests
