Data Protection Law
The Data Protection and Technology Group of Réti Várszegi & Partners Law Firm has unique experience and expertise in the field of data protection law. Our clientele and its activities range from market-leading international company groups to startups and from small businesses to public sector organisations and sports clubs. Our colleagues regularly advise clients in the banking, automotive, commercial, energy, sports and telecom sectors, to mention only a few.
In addition to more traditional data protection areas such as marketing and human resources, our team has outstanding expertise when it comes to current and rapidly changing issues such as e-commerce, the data processing aspects of webshops and online platforms, as well as data transfers in the digital space. Our work includes projects aimed at GDPR compliance, analysis of specific data processing scenarios, as well as data protection support for innovative solutions such as self-driving vehicles or mobile apps. A unique strength in our service is that we also provide day-to-day DPO services to a number of clients, employing, as the case may be, thousands of employees and having extraordinarily diverse and complex data processing operations. This results in an in-depth understanding, which allows us to provide our clients with practical solutions that consider not only the legal, but business, operational and efficiency aspects to the fullest extent possible, while maintaining a sound theoretical basis.
