Privacy & Data Protection
Today, the protection of personal data is an essential component of corporate governance and the management of legal and reputational risks. Changes in European regulations and the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) require companies, startups, and public and private organizations to adopt a structured approach to privacy compliance and the management of personal data.
Clovers assists Italian and international companies, technology firms, innovative startups, and digital operators in defining and implementing compliance models for personal data protection regulations, combining legal, technological, and organizational expertise.
The firm assists clients at every stage of personal data management: from mapping data processing activities and defining internal privacy policies, to managing risks and data breaches, and representing clients in proceedings before supervisory authorities.
