Case study: Global crypto-exchange 
and currency provider


We advised a private equity backed global crypto-exchange and currency provider on its worldwide IT and data protection arrangements, including GDPR and data protection law requirements, considering the multiplicity of transactional and dependency requirements of both the crypto-exchange and the crypto-currency using blockchain technology.

How we helped

Furthermore, with Jagvinder’s specialist CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT and FIP internationally recognised data protection qualifications, he was able to advise on complex UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 arrangements. This included international data transfer obligations following the landmark "Schrems II" judgment from the Court of Justice of the European Union, whilst taking into account the requirements of the European Data Protection Board in the context of transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area. Jagvinder’s software engineering background also helped ‘bridge’ the technical and legal aspects of the matter for the business.

Outcomes

The organisation updated its IT and data protection arrangements to refocus on key requirements and priorities relating to personal data protection. This ensured a renewed focus on areas that were key to the organisation, which in turn helps to demonstrate compliance with its regulatory obligations.
