Privacy and data protection are closely interconnected, perhaps so much so that we often think of them as synonymous. Distinguishing between the two is fundamental to understanding what business obligations we have in protecting them and abiding by regulations.

Helping us understand this area is Alison Baker, Partner at Hall & Wilcox and an expert in assisting organisations with responding to data breaches. She outlines what the business obligations are and what you need to be thinking about as you handle confidential information in your business.
