Workplace Data Privacy
Our employment team contains a specialist group of employment lawyers who have expertise in handling the full range of workplace data privacy questions, from advising on: cross border data flows; monitoring; background checks and vetting; DSARs, ICO complaints; and the introduction of new technologies in the workplace.
Data Subject Access requests can prove particularly problematic to handle, involving as they often do, a huge volume of email correspondence which needs to be considered before disclosure. Handling these requests can be a headache for over-stretched in-house legal teams. Recognising this challenge we can offer a toolkit for a fixed fee with a menu of options which mixes strategic advice with practical assistance.
We can also help with:
- policies, notification and notices
- employee monitoring and investigations
- ICO investigations
- background checks and vetting
- BYOD, social media and LinkedIn
- data transfer
- data security
- manager training
- data awareness e-learning course
