Privacy and Data Security
Many companies deal with sensitive personal data, including insurance companies, telecommunications carriers, health care providers, retailers, banking and financial institutions, higher education and marketing companies. Any company that operates a website for interfacing with customers also has access to sensitive personal data. The Patton Boggs Privacy and Data Security Group advises clients on all facets of privacy and data security. Our attorneys have extensive experience with corporate privacy policies and best practices. We assist clients with advertising and e-commerce, data breaches, security issues, licensing, consumer marketing, social media, due diligence and government relations. We also advise clients about compliance with privacy-related regulations, and represent clients before Congress and other legislative bodies, state and federal regulatory agencies (the FTC and FCC) and the courts.
We keep clients advised of privacy-related developments and regularly assist clients with issues arising under state, federal, and international privacy laws and regulations, such as GLBA, COPPA, HIPAA, FIPPA, TSR, ECPA, FCRA, CAN-SPAM, Do Not Call and the TCPA. We also advise clients on compliance with bank secrecy and money laundering statutes, as well as global data protection laws, such as the European Privacy Directive and the Department of Commerce Safe Harbor program.
