We have a dedicated Data Privacy team, which is part of Demant’s Group Legal & Compliance, and in 2024, we welcomed additional privacy professionals to the team. The team is mainly based in Europe and the US, where privacy legislation was first passed and where internal demand for support has been most prevalent. However, the team also supports legal colleagues and the business in other regions, as more countries pass comprehensive data protection laws and impose local restrictions on data handling. The team maintains a privacy portal for employees, containing relevant national and international legislation and guidelines that Demant brands must comply with, training materials and access to relevant policies and processes.
