Data Protection & GDPR

Information has always been valuable, never more so than today, when vast swathes of data about companies and individuals have become digitalized.  This phenomenon has ushered in “the information age” and has led to unprecedented opportunities for society and business.  Because information is so valuable, it must be effectively protected so that those to whom the data belongs are not harmed.  Myriad rules and regulations can pose a minefield for clients who lack experience in this area – and potentially severe liability if they have not taken the appropriate precautions and instituted the necessary data protection protocols to ensure information safety. 

Our team’s comprehensive data protection knowledge has developed over years of work in this complex area of law. We provide data protection and privacy-related law services to all sizes of businesses based in the European Union and the US as well.

We have a great professional background, enabling us to provide a practical approach and give high-quality advice. Our data protection and privacy-related legal services include conducting complete data protection due diligence for companies to comply with all the EU ad Hungarian regulations in force.  In our experience, early monitoring and risk management are crucial to minimizing company risk and ensuring that data protection issues do not burgeon into a liability. 

Our experience and relevant relationships also allow us to act as a trusted and effective partner in situations where a data breach has occurred and the company must quickly engage in crisis management to contain the damage done. 

GDPR Policies

KNP LAW’s data protection and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) team also assists in preparing comprehensive data protection policies, consent forms, privacy clauses, and any other document pertaining to GDPR compliance. We also conduct balancing tests and data protection impact assessments for our clients to minimalize upcoming legal risks. 

KNP LAW’s experienced team represents data controllers or data subjects before authorities or courts during privacy-related proceedings. We prepare compliance strategies, policies, and procedures that our clients need to implement to comply with the regulations. In these proceedings, our goal is to find unique solutions that protect our client’s interests while fully complying with relevant laws and regulations.

Health Data 

We provide advice, compliance strategy, and privacy clauses for health institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and other entities. Thanks to our extensive experience in pharmaceutical law, we also deal with health data as a special category of personal data. We can assist with the right interpretation and procedure for fulfilling both sets of rules related to health data.

Social Media & GDPR Policies

Our clients regularly set up and maintain social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, which require adherence to specific GDPR regulations. We regularly advise our clients on how they can post, publish, and collect information while ensuring that they are in full compliance with the policies laid out by the social media or web platform and the current and any upcoming GDRP regulations and legislation as well.
