## [IP & GDPR](/en/key-moments/protection-compliance/ip-gdpr)

 ### Recognizable situations

Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.

###   Am I compliant with GDPR requirements?   

 

The GDPR requires you to collect, process and protect personal data correctly. You must be transparent about what data you store, why and for how long. Security and respecting individuals’ rights are also essential.

A privacy policy alone is not enough. You need proper internal processes, IT protection and regular audits. For each marketing activity or customer analysis, check whether it complies with the legal framework.

###   How do I protect my intellectual property?   

 

Your brand, logo, designs, software or inventions can be protected through intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, copyrights, designs or patents. Without protection, others may appropriate your creations.

In addition to formal registration, internal control matters: defined access rights, clear agreements on ownership and transfer, and contractual arrangements with employees and freelancers prevent disputes.

###   What should I do if my company suffers a data breach?   

 

A data breach occurs when personal data is lost, stolen or accessed unlawfully. If this poses a risk to individuals, you must notify the Data Protection Authority within 72 hours, and sometimes also the affected individuals.

Prepare an incident response plan in advance to ensure a quick and correct reaction. Document every step and take immediate measures to limit damage.
