Technology is no longer just for technology companies. In the modern business environment, companies often require assistance in relation to technology contracts and data protection compliance throughout their business lifecycle. Just as cyberspace has no borders, many companies also provide goods and services to customers throughout the world, and in doing so, often face compliance requirements in different jurisdictions. In view of the increasing demand for such services from our clients, our firm has developed a specialised practice in the digital and technology sector.
Our Digital, Technology and Data Privacy team have actively assisted clients with the drafting and negotiation of technology-related contracts such as software licensing and cloud computing services such as Software as a Service (SaaS) service level and other agreements developing tailored data protection management programmes including internal and external data protection policies, information security policies and other retention and disposal policies, as well as advising on licensing and regulatory compliance matters. Our clients include global software companies, Fintech and other technology start-ups.
We assist clients with the conduct of data protection gap assessments, data protection impact assessments and similar reviews and have drafted data protection policies and consent notifications. Our lawyers provide clients advice on data protection compliance and provision of outsource data protection officer services.
