Today’s world is run by data and even though we don’t realise it, it governs most of our daily lives. Data is however mostly about our private affairs (such as our personal data and our activity habits). Complex sets of rules and regulations continue to come into force almost daily to protect us from misuse of personal data. As the legal implications of data misuse are severe and the law is changing and evolving so rapidly, it is essential that businesses get solid and ongoing advice on this area of international(!) law.
