Privacy

Rights requests are an evidence problem before they are a legal one.

What is privacy at iDS?

Privacy at iDS treats rights requests as an evidence problem before they are a legal one. We map where the personal data lives, then design a review and production workflow that controls cost, so a DSAR can be answered within the window without over-disclosing. Cross-border handling respects GDPR and equivalents.

The questions we answer

  • Where does the personal data live?
  • How do we respond to a DSAR within the window without over-disclosing?

How we work

Map the data, then design a review and production workflow that controls cost. The hard part is rarely locating the data; it is reviewing and turning it over efficiently.

What you receive

A defensible response workflow, cross-border handling that respects GDPR and equivalents, and a repeatable process for the next request.

Frequently asked questions

How do we respond to a DSAR within the deadline without over-disclosing?

Start by mapping where the personal data lives, then design a review and production workflow that controls cost. The hard part is rarely locating the data; it is reviewing and turning it over efficiently. The result is a defensible response workflow and a repeatable process for the next request.

Can we collect data across jurisdictions without breaching privacy law?

It is one of the questions we hear most, and it usually draws on both eDiscovery & Disclosure and Privacy. Our response workflows include cross-border handling that respects GDPR and equivalents, and our information governance work covers audit and compliance readiness across the US and EU.

Can technical privacy expertise help defend a privacy class action?

In one class action alleging surreptitious recording of passengers, iDS experts explained to the court the difference between hardware recording devices and user-installed apps. The team showed that a user-installed app is not the same as a surreptitious recording device, and the class action was dismissed.

What is at stake

The earlier you understand the evidence, the better the decisions that follow.

The evidence is abundant. But volume is not access. Access is not understanding. And understanding is not an expert opinion.

Increasingly, evidence is buried across devices, applications, databases, cloud systems, transactions, and other complex sources. It must be found, preserved, made accessible, understood, and interpreted in the context of the matter. And when expert testimony is required, that understanding must support an independent, defensible opinion.

When important evidence surfaces late, assumptions may already have become strategy. When it is identified, tested, and understood early, your team can build its strategy around what can actually be shown. This isn’t just for trial. It is also for TROs, letters rogatory, discovery requests, subpoenas, depositions, summary judgment, mediation, and arbitration.

You bring the legal expertise. We bring the evidence expertise.

iDS combines technical, analytical, and subject-matter expertise to help you move from evidence to understanding, and, when necessary, from understanding to opinion and testimony.

You know the law. We help you know the evidence.
