FIRST PRIVACY – Your experts in international privacy and data protection

What does International Data Protection mean for us?

FIRST PRIVACY advises companies from all over Europe and beyond on questions of international data protection law. We provide the external data protection officer and the representative pursuant to Art. 27 GDPR for more than 50 internationally operating groups.

How else do we support our clients?

We accompany you in the data protection-compliant implementation of software and hardware, or in the setup of social media campaigns. In addition to that, we prepare contracts and develop data deletion frameworks. With our Health & Medical team we guide companies in the health sector through their clinical research or product development by documenting and evaluating the processing of health data. One focus of our work is also the implementation of data protection requirements in the cross-border exchange of employee data.

As a neutral and independent ombudsperson, we support a variety of clients in regard to whistleblowing and compliance. The Whistleblowing Directive (EU 2019/1937) obliges companies to provide channels for reporting legal violations. We operate appropriate reporting channels for our clients, whether by telephone, email or via our online platform.
