Privacy, Data & Technology Law
The use of personal information and big data is extremely valuable to an organisation in this age of the digital transformation. The application of technology software to this information and data enables companies to make more accurate and informed decisions on the future of its operations, find better solutions, track sales performance, target its marketing efforts, track financial performance, measure and manage inventory levels.
The misuse of such information or the failure to comply with the requirements of Privacy and Corporation Laws can however result in disastrous consequences. Serious or repeated interference with the privacy of others can result in fines to companies greater than $10,000,000 or up to $500,000 for a individual.
