Privacy and Data Protection for your Business
The capabilities to create, use, store, and transfer data has been one of the major and ever-changing developments of the recent decades.
With India making rapid strides towards digitization and creation of a robust legal framework dealing with data privacy and protection, there is an unprecedented need for businesses in India to upgrade their privacy and cyber security standards to avoid potential liabilities and meet mandatory compliance standards. This is more so because of the cross-border transportation of sensitive personal data, and the multijurisdictional and cloud-based storage of data and the interplay of various national and international laws.
We advise clients across the entire legal spectrum of privacy and cyber security concerns, ranging from advice on legal requirements to defending investigations and proceedings regarding privacy violation or security failures. We have a comprehensive and clear understanding of all applicable Indian laws which are very significant for international companies exchanging any data or information with Indian counterparts.
We provide extensive support to our clients in the following areas:
- Advising on processing data domestically and on transfers of sensitive personal data within and outside India, complying with the regulatory requirements.
- Data Protection Regulatory Compliance – e.g., GDPR, Information Technology Act, etc.
- Advising on prosecutions and offences, and on actions by the regulators.
- Drafting legally compliant agreements, consent forms, security breach policies, etc.
