It is important to understand that it is not your company’s trade secrets that are the only concerns you should have when it comes to corporate privacy. As an experienced privacy lawyer Bakersfield, CA businesses trust can explain in greater detail, American companies are required—by law—to respect the privacy rights of their employees, customers, online users, and others. Compliance with local, state, federal, and international regulations concerning “the privacy of others” is critically important. Failure to engage in proactive strategies concerning these obligations can leave your company vulnerable to fines and other forms of liability, in addition to PR challenges and costly practical challenges.
Therefore, it is important to speak with the Sierra IP Law, PC team as soon as you can about your company’s business model and practices. Once we understand the ins and outs of your operations and your online presence, we’ll be able to provide you with objective feedback concerning your privacy-related legal needs and compliance obligations.
If you are a small business that primarily does business locally and has no online presence, you may primarily need to concern yourself with the privacy rights of your employees and any personal data that you may process concerning your in-store customers. The team at Sierra IP Law, PC can certainly help you to accomplish this goal. However, in this day and age, it is unlikely that your company lacks an online presence. If you have a website and/or you engage with potential customers via social media, your corporate privacy concerns may extend farther than you might originally anticipate.
For example, our Bakersfield, CA privacy lawyer team may advise you that in conducting business online (with the potential of commercial transactions occurring across state lines) that your company is bound to respect certain federal privacy laws that you would not need to be concerned with if your business was conducted exclusively on a local level. Similarly, if your company—for example—conducts any business that leads to the processing of personal data from customers and/or users who reside in the European Union, you may be bound to comply with a complex E.U. privacy law concerning data security.
You don’t have to know all the ins and outs of these laws or which regulations with which you must comply. That’s our job. Your task is to connect with the experienced California team at Sierra IP Law, PC so that we can advise you of your rights, obligations, and options accordingly.
If you do not currently have a solid, proactive privacy policy in place at your company, that’s okay. The fact that you’re concerning yourself with this subject matter and that you’re going to be proactive now is what is important. Connect with our firm’s Bakersfield, CA privacy lawyer team today to get started with this process, that will ultimately minimize potential liability and strengthen your company’s legal footing overall.
