With the explosion in information technology, privacy and information security issues have risen to the forefront of legal developments affecting every business. New and emerging privacy and security laws, as well as areas related to the use of personal information for direct response marketing, produce challenges for any business that collects, utilizes or distributes information about individuals.

The lawyers at Collen IP have the expertise and experience to help clients understand and comply with the various laws that regulate the collection, mining, use, disclosure, security, disposal, and destruction of personal data. We regularly assist clients in implementing both internal and external privacy, data security, outsourcing and direct marketing policies that are compliant with applicable laws of the state, locality, and federal government. Our lawyers can help you or your company to meet specific marketing and strategic needs.

We also conduct privacy audits to assess where clients’ national and international business activities intersect with privacy concerns and in conjunction with our close network of foreign firms and associates, advise on policies regarding international transborder data flow, including the Safe Harbor Principles, the EU Data Directive and privacy laws in other countries such as Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”).
