No. The policy should reflect actual processing and be supported by internal processes for access, retention, rights requests, vendors and security responsibility.

Data Protection and Privacy Compliance in Georgia
Privacy compliance should reflect how an organisation actually collects, uses, stores and shares personal data. We review the data flows, notices, contracts, internal responsibilities and incident response rather than treating compliance as a single policy document.
Data map
Mapping customer, employee, contractor and other data flows and the parties responsible for them.
Legal compliance
Review of legal basis, transparency, access, retention, security and processes for exercising rights.
Incident response
A legal process for internal response, documenting facts, notification and corrective action.
How we help businesses with data protection
- Audit of personal-data processing activities
- Privacy policies and information notices
- Assessment of consent and other legal bases
- Employee personal-data processing
- Contracts with vendors and processors
- Procedures for responding to data-subject requests
- Internal incident and breach-response plans
- International transfer and technology-provider assessment
An audit starts with real data flows
A company may have a well-written policy while its systems collect or store data differently in practice. We first map the sources, systems, access rights, vendors and retention periods, and then align the legal documents with the actual process.
Consent is not the answer to every processing activity
The appropriate legal basis depends on the purpose and relationship involved. Formal consent may be weaker than another genuinely applicable basis. We assess each processing activity separately and review the quality of the information given to individuals.
Contracts and technology vendors
A CRM, cloud provider, marketing platform, HR system or another vendor may process company data. The contract should correctly address roles, instructions, security, sub-processors and international transfers where relevant.

Business Practice
What businesses often ask about personal data
Is publishing a privacy policy enough?
Do we need consent for every use of personal data?
No. The legal basis depends on the purpose and relationship. Consent is only one possible basis and is appropriate where it is genuinely free, informed and suitable for the processing.
Does Georgian data-protection law apply only to online businesses?
No. Almost every business processes personal data through employees, customers, CCTV, correspondence, accounting and other operations.
What should a company do after a data breach?
First contain or limit the incident, document the facts and assess the type and volume of data, the risk and any notification duties. The response should be prompt and documented.
Does GDPR compliance automatically mean compliance in Georgia?
Not automatically. Some principles overlap, but Georgia has its own legislation and institutional requirements. International companies should align the specific obligations under both regimes.
Do you have a specific data-protection risk or project?
Tell us what data you process, where it comes from and why you use it. We will review the documents, the process and the points where legal risk actually arises.
