Safeguarding personal data is a crucial aspect of modern business operations. With the increasing digitalisation of information and stricter regulations, it is vital for companies operating in Albania to comply with data protection laws. Failure to do so can result in significant penalties and reputational damage. That’s where our data protection legal support services come in.
