Protecting Businesses Within an Evolving Digital Landscape
In our increasingly digital world, electronic data can flow freely between people and businesses, and laws aimed at consumer data may critically impact your legal compliance. Regardless of industry — whether you’re in technology, finance or healthcare, just to a name a few — there are laws restricting how you can manage, transfer and store consumer or employee data. These regulations may be state-specific, federal or even international, making it important to keep up with this ever-evolving landscape.
That current acronym soup of regulatory laws governing data usage includes acts such as CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act), Virginia’s CDPA (Consumer Data Protection Act), GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) and FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act). But without a full federal blanket policy governing all data sets, data privacy can be very complex and difficult to understand. Our team has the knowledge and expertise of the digital data landscape to help you maintain compliance in all of your data-handling activities.

Trust Us With Your Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Matters
Let us know how DarrowEverett can serve your organization.
Cybersecurity Considerations
Cybersecurity is an issue affecting nearly all businesses no matter the size or target customer, because at a minimum you likely handle and/or capture consumer information — such as through your website. Is your site properly protecting data from cybersecurity threats? If not, are you ready for the potential consequences that can come from insufficient digital security? If your company should ever experience a data breach, we’re skilled in developing response plans and complying with State breach notice requirements that address these incidents and protect your interests.
Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies
Additionally, while user agreements (like Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies) most often appear as afterthoughts in the footers of websites, maintaining these legally binding contracts can help you mitigate risk like consumer lawsuits and fines or other governmental actions. We can prepare new agreements or evaluate your current policies to help comply with current laws and align with your business practices. An ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of cure, if not more.
Our Experience
Not only is our legal team well-versed in matters of data privacy & cybersecurity, we know that businesses also must comply with court actions requiring the disclosure of confidential information amid governmental investigations. Our team helps clients promptly respond to inquiries and allows those same clients to focus on running their business. Even in matters of litigation, our team has extensive experience aimed at protecting and fighting for our clients’ rights.
There are a wide variety of factors to consider when evaluating your business’s data privacy & cybersecurity needs. Don’t go it alone – allow DarrowEverett’s team of experts to help you maintain compliance within this ever-changing landscape. Taking proactive steps to protect your business is the more effective and cost-efficient way to protect and grow your business.
