If your customers are sharing data with you, you absolutely must be concerned with data privacy. However, keeping up with all of the rules about how you should handle your customers’ personal information can be tough and any kind of misstep can result in legal headaches. This is why you should consult with a New York-based data privacy lawyer from our firm.
When Should I Consult a Data Privacy Lawyer?
A data privacy lawyer can help you and your company in a wide variety of situations. You might want to talk to an attorney when:
Handling your customers’ personal data: There are many rules and regulations concerning how you treat a customer’s data once they have given it to you. There is some understanding that you will safeguard this information, and that means keeping up with laws concerning how you store, use, or share that customer data. It can be tough to keep track of state, federal, and even international data privacy laws though. That’s where we can help out and make it easier for your business to stay in compliance.
Drafting agreements: When you make an agreement with a new business partner or vendor, data privacy should be a priority. We can help you draft contracts that include clauses that ensure that data is protected. A lawyer can also help you make an agreement for customers to sign so that they are clear about your data privacy priorities and how their own information could be used.
Working on marketing strategies: Data privacy regulations are an important thing to keep in mind when communicating electronically or serving digital advertisements to potential customers. We can tell you how regulations can affect your ability to market your products and services to others and help you avoid privacy-related issues.
Can a Data Privacy Lawyer Help Me Update My Practices?
Yes, this is one of the main benefits of having a dedicated data privacy lawyer. Rules and regulations can change. If you are busy running your business, you may not be able to keep up with every update or new rule concerning how data should be handled.
We don’t just help our clients adapt to changing regulations though. We can also help your business adapt as new technologies shake up your industry. Blockchain, AI, and the Internet of Things, or IoT, could all have beneficial effects, but they could also open you up to new digital privacy concerns. Having an experienced lawyer on your side can allow you to take advantage of new and emerging technologies without running into new problems.
