Privacy and Data Protection
In this rapidly evolving world, data privacy and security are critical elements of risk management for every business. Our lawyers are at the forefront of developments in this area and understand our clients' obligations for data protection and privacy as provided for under regulations in different jurisdictions, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) in South Africa.
Whilst the Botswana equivalent, the Data Protection Act is yet to come into force; our team has assisted our clients to prepare for compliance with this piece of legislation pending its coming into force. Our expertise in this area includes:
- Audit of privacy policies
- Audit of data collection and retention programs
- Advisory work on data transfers, encryption, anonymisation
- Advisory work on navigating data breaches
