A privacy notice is both a legal requirement and a shop window.
It is where customers, staff and regulators check whether you know what you are doing with data. A notice copied from a template, or worse from a US website, usually describes a business that is not yours, as it promises things you do not do and omits things you do, and either way it is evidence against you. Internal policies have the same problem in reverse, written once, filed, and contradicted daily by what actually happens.
Notices tell people what you do with their data; policies tell your team how to handle it.
We help with:
- website and customer privacy notices;
- employee and job applicant privacy notices;
- cookie policies and banner wording;
- internal data protection, retention and breach response policies; and
- rights request handling procedures.
We write documents that are accurate, complete and readable, then keep them consistent with each other, because a privacy notice that contradicts your cookie banner or your processing agreements is a gap waiting to be found.
Everything is written to be used, because if your team cannot follow a policy, it is not protecting anyone.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
