GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation (General Regulation on Data Protection) – a law adopted by the European Union to regulate and ensure transparency in the processing of personal data.

Under personal data, GDPR refers to any information that identifies a user:

• Name and surname;
• Details of the identity document;
• Date and place of birth;
• Place of residence/registration;
• Contact details
• IP address and connection parameters.

Separately classified «specially protected data». They include such criteria as:

• Nationality and race;
• Religion
• Political views;
• Health data (medical reports, test results, etc.);
• biometric data (voice recording, fingerprints and other physical, physiological or behavioural features suitable for the identification of the subject);
• sexual orientation and so on.

According to GDPR two types of operators work with information – handlers and controllers. The former process the data directly, the latter acts as a source of data and verifies their correctness. At the same time, the company has the right to be both a processor and controller. For example, process customer data and monitor the processing of your employees.

Lawyers from Company in Lithuania UAB provide legal advice based on long-term experience to bring data storage and protection in your company in line with the expectations of supervisory authorities, as well as to cope with the consequences of violations of GDPR.

Main objectives of the data protection regulation

The main ideas of the regulation are to protect personal data, to ensure the rights and freedoms of people regarding data protection, to restrict the free movement of data within the controlled territory.

 The main objectives of the Act are:

• Introduce modern data protection standards;
• provide people with tools to control personal data;
• develop digital space for data protection;

• The GDPR provides that operators are required to obtain consent for data processing, and users are entitled to full information about the data content and processing conditions. Subjects may require their data to be deleted, even without explanation, and the company is required to comply.

Companies subject to GDPR law

The GDPR applies to fully or partially automated processing of personal data of EU citizens, both within the EU and abroad. Natural and legal persons, organizations, State structures and other institutions are obliged to comply with the law. Any activity, even non-commercial and non-reimbursable, related to the processing of this, falls under the influence of the regulation.

For example, if a website accessible to EU citizens collects cookies, it falls under the law. When an EU citizen registered with a service and left his personal data, GDPR is also required.

GDPR Policies and Procedures

Accountability is one of the most important concepts introduced by GDPR. Accountable companies should have appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure proper handling of personal data.

Appropriate policies and procedures help organizations to meet compliance obligations, reduce the risk of data leakage, build confidence and inform all stakeholders about data processing in the organization.

• For non-compliance with GDPR, the authorities can impose fines of up to 4% of annual turnover on violating companies. The amount of the penalty varies according to the gravity of the violation, its duration and its consequences. Additional financial implications for violators can be expressed by claims from the direct owners of data.
• Unwillingness to comply with GDPR can cause negative opinions about the company. Customers may be afraid to interact with the company due to lack of data protection, and partners will avoid cooperation due to bad reputation.

The protection of intellectual property in the United States, where the so-called «case law» is still strong enough – that is, the rendering of a decision based on previous similar cases.

Pre-trial dispute settlement

Most of the corporate disputes are resolved at the pre-trial stage, making this phase of global importance. The effectiveness of preventing and resolving corporate conflicts depends on how quickly they are addressed.

The position of the parties to a corporate conflict should be based on the law.

In many cases, the timely communication to the shareholder of a firm’s clear and well-founded position in the conflict contributes significantly to the prevention and resolution of corporate conflicts. In addition, the company to provide the shareholder with comprehensive information on the issue being the subject of the conflict, allows preventing repeated appeals of the shareholder to the company with the same demand or request and to create conditions providing the shareholder the opportunity to realise and protect their rights and interests. It is for this purpose that negotiations are necessary. It is recommended to work on the settlement of the conflict direct participation of the shareholder through direct negotiations or correspondence with him. Negotiations are necessary to clarify and resolve existing differences.

Company in Lithuania UAB is ready to represent the interests of both the company and the participant (shareholder) whose rights have been violated, having previously established the scale and causes of the conflict and determined the most competent plan of action for the resolution of the conflict at the stage of its origin.

Drafting of statements/acts for amending constituent and local documents

The need to amend documents may be due to various reasons due to the changing environment in which the document was adopted, new requirements of the legislation, reorganization of the management system, etc. The introduction of changes may require contradictions and errors identified in the document itself. There are no uniform rules for amending all types of documents. The complexity of the preparation of organizational documents and the wide variety of information in them call for clear regulation not only of the form but also of the content of such documents.

Within the framework of this practice, we are ready to provide services on drafting and examination of corporate documents of legal entities:

• Preparation of draft corporate documents prepared taking into account the Client’s wishes, business specifics and relationships with co-founders (shareholders);

Clarification and advice on enforcement.

Legislation governing the resolution of corporate disputes is sufficiently voluminous, contradictory, and complex to allow for complex analysis. In addition to the normative legal acts, the provisions established by the highest courts are applicable.

It also requires the identification of general trends and developments in judicial practice, which also has a significant impact on conflict resolution and can be a lever of pressure on the opposing party during the pre-trial settlement phase.

In order to clarify and form a model of behaviour for those concerned in a given conflict situation, we are ready to provide a motivated legal opinion, supported by the positions of the supreme courts and case law, on the problem.
