Privacy and Cyber Law

There is a constant, often unprotected flow of information between global and local businesses and between government agencies and external bodies, and between commercial firms and consumers. Handling private information has become a central challenge for companies, while legislative bodies must cope with rapid technological advancement. At present days, companies use cloud computing services and large scale databases, hence they are obligated to implement and comply with various statutes, sometimes in numerous jurisdictions, which has decisive impact on their mode of conduct.

Collecting and using personal information must adhere to applicable legislation, such as the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law and its European counterpart GDPR. Corporations are required to operate in compliance with specific legislation prevailing in numerous countries, while more and more countries are joining the global trend and enacting their own privacy laws.
