Artificial intelligence (AI) and increasing digitalisation pose new challenges in ensuring that personal data is processed securely and correctly. As regulations become ever more complex and detailed, we consider it our mission to help clients keep sight of the big picture and to provide them with practical advice. We also represent our clients in court where necessary, including in collective actions.
Our Privacy & Data Protection Team has in-depth expertise across a wide range of sectors, including e-commerce and online services, automotive, financial services and fintech, real estate, healthcare and retail.
Our expertise in privacy and data protection
Drawing on our extensive experience, we can assist your organisation in various ways with privacy and data protection issues.
Advice
Our experts advise clients (companies, public authorities, charities and other organisations) on a wide variety of data-related topics, such as:
- direct marketing and advertising;
- connected cars and the Internet of Things;
- data breaches;
- sector-specific privacy legislation;
- compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), Data Act and AI Act;
- requests, claims and complaints (access, rectification, objection, data portability and damages);
- data sharing with third parties;
- AI model training;
- business activity outsourcing
- employee monitoring;
- corporate investigations.
Dispute resolution
The GDPR and other new data legislation offer data subjects many opportunities to exercise their rights. They can file a complaint with the supervisory authority or go to court. The number of interest organisations representing specific groups in collective actions is also on the rise.
We regularly litigate in data cases, both before supervisory authorities and judicial bodies (in administrative and private law cases), including the Supreme Court.
Our team also has considerable experience dealing with the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets, including in investigations and enforcement procedures.
Multidisciplinary approach
We work seamlessly with our expert colleagues in other fields, such as Litigation, Consumer Law, Financial Regulatory, Employment, Competition and Corporate/M&A.
