With the rise of IT, more things are no longer tangible, more information is available (online), products and services have become smarter and developments are happening at lightning speed. IT law lawyers deal with high-profile topics such as privacy law, e-commerce and IT contracts, among others.
Privacy law
With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (AVG), privacy, and its personal data, has become a hot topic. Before then, we simply had the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). In fact, not much has changed. Data breaches, bases for processing personal data and principles for processing personal data were already part of our legislation at the time. The AVG regulated this more centrally for European countries.
Privacy encompasses more than just the processing of personal data. Consideration can also be given to the right to communicate confidentially, by phone, e-mail or letter. Basically, it’s about being able to imagine yourself unprotected. Soms vindt men privacy niet nodig, omdat ze niets te verbergen hebben. You can also turn it around. You have nothing to share and a legal basis is needed to infringe on that right.
E-commerce
E-commerce should include regulations applicable to distance contracts. Consider computer-to-computer contracting. How does such an agreement come about? What information duties does the provider of a product or service have? How do you ‘provide’ your my terms and conditions? These are questions that an ICT law attorney can answer for you.
IT contracts
IT contracts come in all shapes and sizes. The most common topics include service agreements focused on hosting, maintenance and management of software or servers. These can be commissioned software development or outsourcing agreements, Software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreements, Platform-as a Service (PaaS) or Application Platform as a service. Service-level agreements (SLAs) can also be considered, in which you agree on what the level of maintenance and performance should be based on certain indicators.
