New Technologies Law

There is no doubt that new technologies have changed the manner in which we do business in many ways. This circumstance poses new challenges, especially taking into account the speed of change and the consequent delays it takes the lawmakers in order to make adjustments in the legislation.

Therefore we provide our clients with all sort of practical advice regarding the application of the current data protection and consumer protection legislation. We will write your general conditions or adjust the current ones to the legal provisions in force. Moreover, we will also study the compliance of the company with the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI), as well as the Organic Law on Data Protection (LOPD), and the Law on Protection of Consumers and Users.

In those cases where administrative complaints arise or there are any ongoing disciplinary proceedings, we will represent our clients before the Spanish Data Protection Agency, as well as the Consumer Protection Agencies, both on a national and a regional level.

Finally, we also provide action guidelines necessary in order to adapt traditional standards to a whole variety of new technological situations: social network use by employees, control of downloads, personal use of a company’s e-mail address, creation of industrial property while developing products for a client, the possibility to use e-mail communication as evidence in court or communications via SAP, amongst many others.
