Your organisation will also minimise its legal and reputational risk.
Topics covered will include:
- What is a privacy framework and why is it important
- What are the strict legal obligations?
- What kind of issues can arise for lawyers in relation to confidentiality and privacy?
- Hear about some real-life case studies and how they unfolded
- How do you establish your own privacy framework and draft a privacy policy?
- What can go wrong and what do you do if it does?
- Practical tips to minimise risk to your organisation.
