Data

Data protection is nowadays a real issue for a company. However, data do not have a general autonomous protection regime, except for personal data. 

Nevertheless, different ways of protecting data can be considered. 

Taken individually, data can be subject to autonomous protection regimes provided by the Intellectual Property Code, such as copyright. 

Taken as a whole, they may be subject to the protection of the rights of database producers provided for by the Intellectual Property Code. 

Finally, data may be considered as information that may be protected by trade secrets regulations provided for by the Commercial Code, or by means of specifically drafted contractual stipulations, such as a confidentiality agreement.

JP Karsenty's teams will analyse and understand your needs in terms of data protection and define with you the most appropriate protection strategies.

The Data Protection team is headed by Jean-Philippe Arroyo, who is also a member of the “Association Française des Correspondants à la Protection des Données Personnelles” (A.F.C.D.P.), and of the “Association pour le Développement de l’Informatique Juridique” (ADIJ).
