The CIPP and it's consultants take data protection very seriously. We work with each client and are guided by their own data protection policies and practices. All consultants will agree to sign a non-disclosure agreement, as well as contracts that specify data handling responsibilities.

Transparency is key. For longer projects, your consultant will agree a timeline with to keep you informed of the progress made. Any obstacles found that could impact the duration of the project will be communicated to you at the earliest possible time. Joint re-negotiations would then take place. This is an unusual occurrence, and this commitment forms part of any original agreement.
