Data Protection
In today’s digital age, the value of a business is closely linked to its data management practices highlighting the need for responsible handling of personal data across various sectors. In this respect, all businesses must comply with the complex obligations established by the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), as well as any local laws in an EU member state which are more restrictive than the GDPR.
At WH Partners, we advise our clients at all stages of their projects or business cycle, particularly those in which management of personal data is one of the major components. Most of our clients have businesses which are international and often require transfers of personal data across borders. We routinely advise on the legality of these transfers. We also advise on individual personal data rights including subject access, data porting, rectification, and erasure.
Our data protection practice draws on the advice of a team made up of lawyers from a wide range of disciplines, including employment, commercial and regulatory, providing our clients with well-rounded advice. Our team also includes lawyers with experience in the role of Data Protection Officer for data controllers established both in Malta and internationally.
