We are here to make our data-driven world a more equitable place to live, work and thrive.

Demystifying data protection

We use our experienced team’s collective experience to eradicate ambiguity about how personal data can be used compliantly. We help to create a more transparent society in which organisations have confidence that they can use personal data as required while ensuring that individuals’ rights are protected.

Experience you can rely upon

Working with us means you will benefit from over half a century of collective professional practice in data protection and privacy. Take confidence in the fact that there isn’t much that we haven’t already dealt with and we bring all that experience to the table when helping your organisation navigate the ever-changing data protection landscape.

Our team includes members of the IAPP who hold the CIPP/E and CIPM certifications and individuals who have also achieved ICA and PDP professional certifications, which set a globally recognised standard for data protection professionals.

Previous experience across HelloDPO includes leading data protection and privacy teams within renowned legal practices and working in-house in healthcare, fintech, financial services and food and drink businesses.

However, as HelloDPO, we have helped clients across a broader range of sectors: Automotive, Education, Financial services and insurance, Hotels, Hospitality and leisure, Life sciences and healthcare, Luxury Brands, Manufacturing and industry, Media and entertainment, Professional services, Recruitment, Retail and consumer products, Technology and social media.

How we work

Alongside our convenient and comprehensive suite of data protection services, five factors make us the perfect guiding light towards compliance:

1

Our ability to navigate a complex or challenging subject and provide a clear path to a positive outcome.

2

Our pragmatic and ethical approach, which nurtures commercial success alongside regulatory compliance

3

Our systemic, conscientious, and meticulous

4

Our tailored response to each client’s unique circumstance

5

The positive, personable, and considerate nature of our professional relationships
Our Manifesto
These five beliefs form the foundation of our culture. These are the promises we make to ourselves and you.
Simplicity: We believe in making things easy.
Due to the threat of fines, legal action or reputational damage, data protection demands attention. But people avoid it because it is a dynamic and complex subject. We pride ourselves on our ability to demystify the topic, delivering concise, clear, and actionable insight to help you navigate challenges with calm confidence.
Fairness: We believe in doing the right thing.
If personal data is power, that power comes with responsibility. We all must understand our legal, ethical, and moral obligations when using personal data. Rather than inhibiting success and innovation, our balanced and expert viewpoint can help shield your organisation from malicious or negligent activities and enable you to turn trust into a competitive advantage.
Perseverance: We believe in going the distance.
We operate at the forefront of a rapidly evolving ecosystem of legal, moral, ethical, and social considerations. To ensure we always give you the right advice and guidance, we remain up to date with the latest trends and changes in data protection legislation. We are also diligent in our scrutiny and analysis to ensure we completely understand your organisation’s needs.
Relevance: We believe in tailoring our approach.
Harnessing our intelligence and appropriate technology, we go deep, getting to know your organisation inside out. Each client, context, and challenge is unique and demands a bespoke and considered solution. We are flexible and responsive, adapting our approach, processes and thinking to ensure our advice is relevant and appropriate to your specific situation.
Camaraderie: We believe in building positive relationships.
We are in this together. We have got your back. Collaboration excites us; we are personally and emotionally invested in our client relationships. We want you to feel we are part of your team. We strive to be an inspirational breath of fresh air and deliver our expertise with a smile. Above all, we are always here to help and support you.
