Data Protection

Data Protection, Privacy and Security

As the complexity of living in a technological world increases, we are seeing a subsequent rise in risks associated with the mishandling or loss of personal data. At lecocqassociate, we recognise the importance of data privacy and protection against misuse and mishandling of personal data. Although companies have been collecting and possessing personal data for decades, the advent of the online collection has resulted in regulatory changes which require companies in possession of personal data to comply with strict obligations in the use of personal data.
