Personal data can often be a complicated side to critical business activities, such as mergers and acquisitions and bankruptcy. Since the beginning of the year, the world has been dealing with a global health crisis. But unfortunately, that is not the only crisis the world will be dealing with this year – by now it is clear our economy will take a serious hit as a result of COVID-19. Companies will go under, or may become targets for mergers and acquisitions while in a weakened state. That also may have an impact on the data holdings of organisations. Can sets of customer, employee and third party data just be handed over from one company to the other, or sold to the highest bidder to return some money to investors? These highly impactful business activities, that are often executed rapidly, are not the times to overlook critical data allowances and restrictions.
