In the data universe, not all data is created equal. Health information, genetic data, and biometric identifiers fall into a highly protected realm: "special category data." This is the inner sanctum of an individual's privacy, afforded the highest possible level of legal protection under Georgian law. When processing this data, the margin for error is zero. Using standard rules is not a minor infraction; it is a severe breach with colossal risks, including crippling fines from the Personal Data Protection Service (PDPS), mandatory data destruction orders, and an irreversible collapse of public trust.
Legal Sandbox provides the expert legal navigation required for this highest-risk domain, ensuring your operations are unequivocally lawful, whether you are in healthcare, tech, or biometrics. Our specialized advice ensures you meet the law's heightened compliance obligations. Our service begins with the most critical hurdle: establishing a lawful basis and securing explicit consent. Standard consent is legally insufficient here. We help you engineer legally-sound, auditable mechanisms to obtain this explicit consent, which has a much higher legal threshold than standard "opt-in" practices.
Furthermore, we conduct specialized, deep-dive Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) that are specific to the risks of health data compliance or the processing of biometric data. We meticulously analyze the necessity and proportionality of your proposed processing and architect the specific, state-of-the-art technical and organizational security protocols required by law for this data. This includes drafting specific policies and procedures for processing sensitive information like genetic data, mandating the highest level of security.
Ultimately, our goal is to empower you to innovate safely. With our guidance, you build more than just a legal defense; you build a reputation of unshakeable trust. This is the single most critical asset in sensitive sectors like healthcare and biometric identification. It is the cornerstone of an ethical and responsible business.
