What is Data Privacy?

Data privacy is all about a business's responsibility for keeping their customer's personal information secure. A strong approach to data security is essential for preventing unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction of personal data.

Data security is something that applies to virtually every industry. In fact, many industries have specific regulations around data privacy. Some of these include:

  • Healthcare privacy including HIPAA

  • Financial information and privacy law

  • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)

  • Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS)

  • CAN-SPAM, and other telemarketing rules

Data privacy is not just an issue in the United States. If you plan on doing business internationally, you must also be aware of and in compliance with international regulations around privacy and security. Some important international privacy concerns include:

  • EU and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

  • Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)

  • Canada Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)

  • Other international privacy law and regulation

  • Binding Corporate Rules

With SVTech Laws as your data privacy lawyer, we can help ensure that your business is in compliance with critical privacy regulations designed to keep your customer's data secure around the world.

What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity refers to the practice of defending a business's data and computer systems from cyber attacks. Hackers are relentless in their attempts at stealing or manipulating data. Companies must do everything in their power to protect their customer's data, as well as their own computer systems, from attack.

As your cybersecurity law firm, SVTech Laws can help you develop legal response strategies for cyber attack incidents and maintain compliance with notification laws.
