Frequently Asked Questions
What does an IT lawyer do?
IT and technology law covers data privacy compliance (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA), SaaS and software agreements, terms of service and privacy policies, cybersecurity incident response, AI and blockchain regulation, IT outsourcing, and disputes over technology projects. Liberum Law advises both technology companies and businesses that depend on technology.
Do I need a privacy policy on my website?
Yes, if you collect any personal information (names, emails, IP addresses, cookies, payment data) — required by California (CCPA/CPRA), Illinois (BIPA for biometric data), EU (GDPR for EU visitors), and many other jurisdictions. Even without legal requirement, a clear privacy policy builds trust with users and is required by Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and most payment processors.
What is GDPR and does my business need to comply?
GDPR is the EU's data protection regulation. It applies to any business — anywhere — that processes personal data of EU residents (customers, employees, website visitors). Compliance includes a lawful basis for processing, a privacy notice, data subject rights (access, deletion), data breach reporting, and (for some companies) a Data Protection Officer. We assess applicability and build compliance programs.
Can you draft my SaaS or software agreement?
Yes. We draft SaaS subscription agreements, end-user license agreements (EULAs), terms of service, master service agreements, professional services agreements, data processing addenda (DPAs), and reseller/partner agreements. We tailor each to the deployment model (SaaS, on-prem, hybrid), data sensitivity, and customer profile.
What should I do if my company has a data breach?
Contain the breach first, then call counsel immediately. Most U.S. states require notification to affected individuals and regulators within specific timelines (often 30–60 days, sometimes faster). EU GDPR requires regulator notification within 72 hours. We coordinate forensics, notification, regulator engagement, and any class-action defense.
