Privacy and Data Protection Law Editing and Proofreading Services

Privacy law is unusual: it requires the document to be understandable. Regulators across jurisdictions expect privacy notices in clear, plain language, and a policy that only a lawyer can parse is not merely unhelpful — it may fall short of the standard. Here, readability is compliance.

We edit privacy policies and notices, consent language, data processing agreements, records of processing, data protection impact assessments, breach notification letters to regulators and to affected individuals, cross-border transfer documentation, cookie and tracking disclosures, and internal data handling procedures. Our editors work to keep the meaning legally intact while lowering the reading level — replacing nominalisations with verbs, breaking apart sentences that carry three obligations at once, and making sure "we may share your information" is followed by exactly who, and why.

Breach notifications need a different register again. They are read by people who are worried, quickly, and often on a phone. We keep them calm, specific about what happened and what to do next, and free of the hedging that reads as evasion.

We handle all material confidentially, including live incident documents. We do not opine on legal sufficiency — we make certain a reasonable person will understand what you are telling them.
