• Customizable tiered pricing options;

• Drafting of and advising on language for internal privacy policies and procedures, and a variety of data protection agreements and privacy notices;

“Our approach and emphasis on providing extraordinary service to our clients led us to the development of Dykema’s VPO,” said Cinthia Granados Motley, Director of Dykema’s Global Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice. “Exposure resulting from privacy and cybersecurity risks is a paramount concern for nearly every company in today’s business climate. Organizations can confidently rely on Dykema’s VPO as their go-to privacy and cybersecurity resource when looking for the best guidance possible for their business.”

Dykema’s new VPO service comes off the heels of the firm’s data privacy and cybersecurity group’s formation of its Pixel and AdTech Privacy Task Force, which assists global corporations with advertising and marketing efforts while navigating the complexities of data usage and exchange and the related regulations governing consumer data. The practice group also offers an experienced Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) Team to help companies defend against BIPA-related class action suits. These are just a few of the multitude of services Dykema’s Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice Group offers to clients.

As the data privacy and cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Dykema is committed to providing clients with a holistic approach to help them navigate challenges with customizable, organizational-specific solutions to achieve their business objectives.
