FAQs About Minneapolis Data Privacy + Cybersecurity Counsel
Do I need a privacy policy if I’m not selling user data?
Yes. Many privacy laws, including California’s CCPA, require transparency about what data you collect and how you use it—even if you’re not “selling” it. A well-drafted policy helps build trust and reduce legal risk.
What laws should I worry about if I’m handling customer data?
That depends on what kind of data you collect and where your users are located. Most technology companies need to consider laws like the CCPA, HIPAA (for health data), and FTC rules. We help you identify what applies and build compliance into your operations.
Can you help with customer and vendor contracts that involve data?
Absolutely. We draft and negotiate Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), privacy terms, and security provisions in commercial agreements.
Do you handle data breach issues?
Yes. We help companies prepare for data incidents with breach response plans—and guide you through notification requirements if something goes wrong.
What about global privacy laws like the GDPR?
If your business collects data from users in the EU or UK, we can help you assess exposure to those laws and coordinate compliance as needed. For most Minnesota tech clients, U.S. privacy law is the priority—but we know when and how to bring in trusted international advisors if needed.
