Privacy
In today’s highly interconnected world, it is vital for all businesses to protect the personal information and data of consumers. A company needs an experienced adviser like TJ Toohey law to help ensure that its policies regarding the treatment of consumer data meet complex and constantly evolving standards and best practices for protection of personal information.
Privacy under today’s laws centers on the protection of an individual’s “personal information” or “personal data.” Personal information includes not only highly sensitive information, such as social security or identification numbers, financial information, or health care data, but also a wide variety of information that relates to consumers tracked by websites and mobile applications.
Whatever its size, no business exists in a vacuum in today’s interconnected world. TJ Toohey law can provide practical advice to help clients of all sizes in all business sectors navigate legal requirements to gain a competitive advantage over their competitors by signaling that they respect the personal data of their customers, workforce, and business partners.
Tim has helped numerous clients of different sectors and sizes comply with a wide variety of matters relating to the collection of personal information. Tim’s work in the privacy field includes preparation and revision of privacy policies, mapping the data that a business collects and uses, privacy impact statements, agreements with third parties regarding protection of personal information, HIPAA business associate agreements, privacy policies for employees, and development of notices and consent mechanisms for collection of personal information.
Compliance with privacy laws is not a “one off” action. If a business has a privacy policy or terms of use that is more than a year old, it is likely that it needs a review of the policy to ensure that it is up-to-date and in compliance with changing legal requirements and regulations. TJ Toohey Law can help you accomplish your goals for your business while complying with current laws and best practices and helping to prepare for future growth and technological change.
