• Providing timely, accurate, quality legal advice on all aspects of data protection and e-privacy to businesses based in the UK and further afield as the business expands internationally. 
• Cooperating and communicating with the ICO and other relevant authorities on data protection matters.
• Maintaining records of the company's data processing activities and ensure their accuracy and completeness.
