Privago

We work with you to make sure your data management is compliant with the current regulations and supports your business. Our data protection compliance platform maintains and automates your data and privacy management. Due to the General Data Protection Regulation, individuals rights are strengthened and companies get greater obligations. Privago helps companies to fulfill these obligations. So, what is GDPR and why should you care? While it is bad form to rely on acronyms, General Data Protection Regulation does not roll smoothly off the tongue and will be referred to as GDPR from now on. In a nutshell, it is a new directive from the European Commission that replaces the old data protection directive and will, in equal measure, expand and upset the existing policies. GDPR will come into effect in 2018 but the changes are so radical that smart money should already be preparing for it. Because data-driven systems are practically omnipresent today, GDPR takes us to a whole new world in 2018. The whole angle of “immunity due to data anonymization” will be gone, creating a radically different legal and liability environment for public institutions and private enterprises. For the alert consumer, the changes are nothing short of revolutionary. Still, the silent majority has the option of ignoring them and going on as before. Businesses do not have this luxury and 2018 isn’t all that far away. Strategies need to be re-thought, services re-designed, contracts revised and business plans re-written. All that is something that Privago can help you with.
