Data sharing covers when organisations exchange personal information, usually under data protection and privacy rules. A solicitor in this area helps draft and negotiate data sharing arrangements, assess lawful bases for processing, conduct data protection impact assessments, and ensure compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 when sharing information with partners, suppliers or public bodies. They advise on records of processing, data minimisation, retention, data subject rights, and handling data breaches or enforcement concerns by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
