Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy risk management that won't slow the business

Privacy and data protection support

At JPG Law, we help businesses build privacy programs that are defensible, workable, and aligned to how data actually moves through the organization. Jason is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US), and we support companies across staffing, workforce platforms, professional services, and technology, especially where vendor ecosystems, HR data, and customer data intersect.

Privacy Program Foundations

Right-sized program design: data governance basics, roles/responsibilities, privacy policy architecture, and "minimum viable compliance" that can actually be maintained.

US State Privacy Compliance

Operational guidance for US state privacy laws (including consumer rights workflows, notices, and contracting expectations), plus pragmatic scoping so you don't overbuild.

Sensitive Data & Security Rules

HIPAA/BAA support where relevant, plus biometrics and other sensitive categories (including HR/worker data) that require extra controls and cleaner documentation.

Vendors & Contracting

Drafting and negotiating DPAs, security exhibits, data-sharing terms, subprocessors, audit rights, and liability positions that match what you (and your vendors) can control.

Incident Readiness & Response

Breach-prevention playbooks, escalation paths, and response support: triage, investigation coordination, notification decisioning, and post-incident remediation plans.

Employee & Workforce Privacy

BYOD, monitoring/recording, retention, access controls, and internal privacy guardrails so HR and managers have clear rules that reduce surprises.

Who we support

  • Companies modernizing privacy practices across states, products, and teams
  • HR/People and operations leaders managing employee/worker data at scale
  • SaaS and services providers facing DPA/security reviews and customer flow-downs
  • Regulated or sensitive-data teams (health, bioscience, fintech-adjacent, education)
  • Leaders who need practical risk positions, not theory

Tools we provide

  • Privacy program "starter pack" (policy set + governance basics + cadence)
  • Data map / RoPA-lite templates + risk register
  • DPA / security appendix fallback library + negotiation playbook
  • Incident response runbook (roles, timelines, communications, decision tree)
  • Vendor assessment questionnaire and scoring rubric (right-sized)
  • Employee privacy toolkit (BYOD/monitoring, retention, notices, training guide)

Engagement options

  • Privacy Helpdesk: fast answers and redlines as questions arise
  • Audit & Roadmap (30–60+ days): prioritized fixes across notices, vendor paper, incident readiness, and workforce privacy
  • Contracting Support: DPA/security addendum negotiation for vendor and customer deals
  • Incident Support: immediate-response counsel when something happens
  • Ongoing Advisory: steady monthly coverage to keep the program current

Outcomes matter

Cleaner vendor paper, fewer escalations, faster deal cycles, and a privacy program your team can run, with better positioning if an incident or regulator question shows up.
