The increasing awareness of the need for an appropriate policy for the handling of personal information has led to the creation of a new area of legal expertise in order to provide direct advice to companies and self-employed professionals.
Organic Law 15/1999 (13th December) which covers the Protection of Personal Data, requires all individuals and companies handling personal information to fulfil certain legal requirements, such as establishing the corresponding security measures.
The legal services offered by the Department of Data Protection include:
- Detailed analysis of the legal situation regarding a company’s Data Protection policy.
- Completion of Notifications of creation for each individual file holding personal data and presentation of these to the Data Protection Agency in Madrid.
