Personal Data Protection – GDPR
Personal data protection has become one of the key legal and organizational risk areas for businesses and institutions. GDPR requirements affect service design, operational processes, relationships with vendors and processors, as well as communication with clients and employees. We provide a comprehensive legal advice on GDPR compliance, focusing on solutions that can be effectively implemented and sustained in day-to-day operations.
We support clients in both implementation and remediation projects, as well as in ongoing compliance management — including long-term advisory arrangements or acting as Data Protection Officer. We also advise on the planning and rollout of new business initiatives in accordance with the principle of data protection by design, ensuring that privacy considerations are embedded from the earliest project stages.
A core element of our approach is risk-based analysis, involving the selection of appropriate legal, organizational, and technical safeguards and — where required — the preparation and execution of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). We also provide rapid-response support in situations requiring immediate action, particularly data breaches and proceedings involving supervisory authorities.
Our services include in particular:

- advisory support for marketing and social media activities, including contests, email and performance marketing, analytics, and profiling,
- GDPR training and workshops (general and dedicated programs for HR, marketing, sales, customer service, e-commerce, and call centers), including remote formats,
- incident response for data breaches: assessment, notification obligations, investigation procedures, documentation, and mitigation measures,
- representation in proceedings before the Polish Data Protection Authority and in administrative and civil courts,
- cross-border data transfers (within and outside the EEA): mapping international flows, verifying transfer mechanisms to third countries, preparing transfer procedures, and implementing appropriate safeguards.
The firm advises on data protection both on a project basis (audit and implementation) and through ongoing advisory services, providing clear cooperation frameworks, structured timelines, and measurable compliance outcomes.
