Get Peace Of Mind Knowing You Are Protected With
A Legally Compliant Privacy Policy For Your Website/App
Privacy law and, by extension, privacy policies are one of the most dynamic areas of the law, with new regulations at the state, federal, and international levels being passed at a rapid pace. As of 2024, the ever-evolving privacy law “state of play” and compliance landscape make the advantages of utilizing a privacy policy lawyer all the more evident. From privacy laws that are international in scope, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to those on the state level, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), legal risks are proliferating. Moreover, as we look to the future, the rate of new privacy legislation is expected only to increase. With a privacy policy legally mandated for most businesses, the entanglement of the many privacy laws combined with the specificity of application to each business scenario results in complex and confusing situations for the average business owner trying to ensure compliance.
The Value Of Working With A Privacy Policy Lawyer To Gain Clarity In An Area Of Increasing Complexity
As a lawyer focused on privacy and cybersecurity, we offer clients clarity and peace of mind by providing privacy policies and related agreements, such as terms and conditions for websites and apps drafted by an attorney specific to each business. In contrast to free privacy policies generated online, privacy policies from a lawyer help wade through the complexity of privacy policies and eliminate the inclusion of overbroad or inapplicable terms provided by a generic or automated tool.
Due to the fast-moving nature of privacy laws and, by extension, privacy policies and related online legal terms, there are an increasing number of instances where poor privacy policy drafting has resulted in reputational if not legal harm, including from the new proliferation of privacy violation scanners, including the following examples:
- After a subtle change to its privacy policy, Sonos drew considerable attention and scrutiny, but the connected speaker company clarified and insisted that “it’s still carefully protecting the personal data of its customers.”
- TikTok was fined £12.7m for illegally processing the data of 1.4 million children under 13 who were using its platform without parental consent.
- Customer turmoil over a seemingly routine change in Adobe Systems Inc.’s terms of use agreement spurred a rare internal reckoning over how the company communicates complex legal issues to users and accounts for anxiety around generative AI.
As privacy lawyers who are tech-savvy, we also get to know your business and provide unique added value. For example, suppose there are issues from a regulator or a consumer exercising their privacy rights, such as the right of access or deletion, or pursuing other legal action. In that case, you have a trusted attorney who already knows the nuances of your business when helping you most effectively navigate the legal challenge. We offer custom privacy policies, including via our PrivacyExpress™ offering, as well as auditing of existing policies for affordable flat fees so that our clients can comply with privacy laws confidently while not incurring a cost-prohibitive expense.
