GDPR & Data Protection

Greystone Solicitors provides expert legal advice on data protection law, helping clients meet their compliance obligations in a clear, effective, and practical way.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced on 25 May 2018, places strict requirements on how organisations handle personal data. Ensuring compliance is essential, as failure to do so can result in penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of annual worldwide turnover—whichever is greater.

Our specialist GDPR & Data Protection team can help you with:

Understanding how data protection rules affect your organisation is the first step towards effective compliance. We explain your responsibilities in practical terms, review how you use personal information and help identify the areas that need attention within your operations.

Meeting data protection obligations requires more than having policies in place. We review your organisation’s approach, identify potential gaps and advise on practical improvements, helping you align everyday activities with the requirements that apply to your use of personal information.

Effective data protection depends on clear procedures and consistent working practices. We help you develop processes for collecting, using, storing and sharing personal information, with practical guidance on responsibilities, record keeping and managing risks across your organisation.

Responding to requests for personal information can involve complex questions about scope, disclosure and confidentiality. We help you establish procedures, assess individual requests and prepare appropriate responses, while advising on related complaints and any regulatory concerns that may arise.

Clear documentation helps people understand how their information is used and supports consistent internal practices. We draft and review privacy notices, data protection policies and retention policies that reflect your organisation’s activities and explain its approach in accessible language.

A data breach requires a prompt, coordinated response. We help you assess what has happened, consider notification requirements and prepare relevant communications, while advising on practical steps to manage the incident, document decisions and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Email, text and other electronic marketing activities need careful consideration of privacy requirements. We advise on consent, marketing preferences and related procedures, helping you plan communications and review your approach under applicable data protection and electronic communications rules.

Employees, workers and contractors should understand how their personal information is handled. We review employment documentation and prepare supporting privacy notices, helping you explain workplace data practices clearly and maintain consistency between contractual wording, policies and everyday procedures.

Managing recruitment, personnel records and workplace concerns often involves sensitive personal information. We advise on the data protection aspects of HR activities, helping you assess access, sharing, retention and confidentiality while balancing operational needs with the interests of your workforce.
