Privacy Notices and Privacy Policies
Clear notices and internal policies based on the personal data the organisation actually handles and the purposes for which it is used.
Business legal services
Data Protection
UK data protection law affects how organisations collect, use, share, secure and retain personal data. We help businesses understand their role and put proportionate documentation, assessments and response procedures in place.
Clear advice, early
Protect the decision before it becomes a problem.
A generic privacy notice alone does not address every data-protection obligation. Gaps in records, contracts, risk assessment or breach response can expose people and the business to preventable harm, regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage.
We start by understanding the commercial outcome you want, then identify the legal work needed to reach it. You receive practical advice, a clear scope and a cost basis to approve before substantive work begins.

Frequently asked
Data Protection, explained.
General guidance only. The right answer depends on your circumstances.
Is a privacy policy enough for UK GDPR compliance?
No. The documents and controls required depend on the organisation's processing, but they can include internal records, contracts, retention rules, security measures, risk assessments and procedures for individual rights and breaches.
What is the difference between a controller and a processor?
Broadly, a controller decides why and how personal data is processed, while a processor handles it on a controller's instructions. The correct role depends on the real arrangement, not only the label used in a contract.
What should we do after a suspected personal data breach?
Act promptly to contain the incident, preserve relevant information and assess the likely effect on individuals. Reporting deadlines can be short, so seek advice quickly if notification obligations are unclear.
