“Altum helped us align our privacy policies, terms, and internal practices with what our product actually does. Enterprise customers now get clear answers on security and data use, and we feel far better prepared if an incident ever occurs.” — Founder, data platform startup

What We Do:

  • High-level counseling on privacy and data protection obligations as they apply to your product, business model, and jurisdictions, with specialist privacy counsel involved where deeper analysis is needed.
  • Development and refinement of privacy policies and notices that are accurate, compliant, and written in clear language users can understand.
  • Drafting or updating user-facing terms of use and product terms, including data protection addenda, security commitments, and allocation of responsibility between you and customers.
  • Support on data management strategy: mapping key data flows, clarifying who decides how data is used versus who processes it, and structuring vendor and subprocessor relationships.
  • Input on security practices and documentation from a legal-risk perspective, including security summaries, customer-facing descriptions, and incident response plans.
  • Guidance on handling and mitigating risks associated with suspected or actual data breaches, including assessing notification obligations, coordinating with technical and communications teams, and managing regulator or customer communications.
