Data projects need clear rules on access, use and responsibility. Personal data, machine-generated data and protected databases raise different legal questions that should be addressed together.
How we help
- Data licensing, access, Data Act issues, databases and trade secrets.
- Controller and processor roles, joint controllership and international transfers.
- Privacy information, deletion policies, data subject rights, impact assessments and incident response.
A practical example
A machinery operator requests operational data for an independent maintenance provider. The analysis covers access rights, the relevant data, personal information and confidential technical material.
What the assessment covers
We start with the intended outcome, the parties involved and the applicable territories. The next step is to examine the documents and evidence, identify deadlines and compare the available contractual or procedural options. The scope of work and fees are agreed before substantive work begins.
Documents for the first discussion
Data-flow map, system description, current contracts, processing activities and countries involved.
What if a deadline is already running?
Please give the exact deadline and send the relevant correspondence when making contact. Do not assume that an enquiry alone creates a retainer or that a deadline is being monitored.
