PPT Legal has extensive experience advising clients across the full spectrum of data protection law, with a particular focus on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the emerging requirements of the EU AI Act. Our lawyers combine deep regulatory expertise with practical, commercial insight to help organisations navigate an increasingly complex and fast-moving landscape. We have extensive experience advising on data privacy and GDPR compliance in the employment context, covering all aspects of employee data processing, workplace monitoring, internal investigations, and HR-related data governance — helping employers balance their legitimate operational interests against the privacy rights of their workforce.

More specifically we advise on:

Privacy Policies, Procedures & Notices:   We draft and review privacy policies, internal data protection procedures, and privacy notices to data subjects that are legally compliant, clear, and tailored to the specific activities of each client.

IT Systems, Security & AI Policies:   We advise on policies governing the use of IT systems and information security, as well as bespoke AI policies that address the governance, transparency, and accountability requirements arising under the EU AI Act and applicable data protection frameworks.

Data Processing Agreements:   We draft and negotiate Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) between controllers, and between controllers and processors, ensuring appropriate allocation of responsibilities and adequate contractual protections.

Data Breach Notifications:   We guide clients through the data breach notification process, advising on reporting obligations to supervisory authorities and affected data subjects and assisting in the preparation and submission of notifications under tight statutory deadlines.
