Compliance & Regulatory

In an increasingly globalized and digital society, personal data plays a major role. Personal data regulation affects all companies, organizations and authorities, making it a discipline that must be mastered by everyone. Many process, store and disclose personal data without considering the necessary procedures. The area is subject to extensive regulation, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and there is intensive enforcement of compliance.

CO:PLAY's team has extensive experience in advising everything from large international companies to local Danish companies, organizations and authorities on how to meet the requirements of GDPR and become compliant. This can be implementation of security measures, mapping of data flows, compliance analyses, handling data breaches, action plans, etc.

CO:PLAY offers a number of special GDPR products, including DPO service (get a professional and cost-effective handling of the data protection officer requirement).

If you want to know more, please contact Christian Wiese Svanberg, who is responsible at CO:PLAY for GDPR.

The marketing rules must, among other things, ensure that competition between traders takes place in an orderly and fair manner. The rules also contribute to consumers being able to make choices on a transparent and informed basis. They must also safeguard other traders against unfair competition and serve the general public interest.

CO:PLAY advises a large number of Danish and international companies on marketing rules and has extensive experience with all aspects of marketing law, including, among other things:

• Advertising rules (hidden advertising, comparative advertising, advertising marking)
• Price marketing
• Good marketing practice and business practice
• E-mail marketing and other direct marketing
• Environment and ethics in marketing (greenwashing)
• Use of personal data in marketing
• Influencer marketing
• Consumer Contract Act

CO:PLAY's team is often used to hold courses and presentations on the marketing rules.

If you want to know more, please contact Heidi Højmark Helveg, who is responsible for Marketing.

At CO:PLAY, we have experience advising companies that use new technologies to develop and market financial services.

The financial services market is highly regulated but at the same time characterized by a high level of technology. There are high demands on market participants to ensure that their services comply with the applicable regulations. Often a license from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority is required before a service can even be brought to the market.

CO:PLAY provides assistance to both Danish companies in obtaining relevant licenses from the Danish FSA, but also to international companies that want to market their financial services in the Danish market based on a license from another EU country.

CO:PLAY can also help assess whether an activity requires a license from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and can assist with the execution and organization of ongoing compliance tasks in an efficient manner that is aligned with the business' other processes.

If you want to know more about financial regulation, please contact Laurine Støve Larsen, who is responsible for Financial Regulation at CO:PLAY.

CO:PLAY helps companies comply with all regulatory requirements so that the framework for your business is in place. It is in particular limited liability companies (e.g. private limited companies and public limited companies) which are subject to regulatory requirements.

CO:PLAY assists amongst others with:

• Application for and maintenance of necessary business licences and authorisations
• Establishment of the framework for the management of the company (e.g. rules of procedure and management instructions)
• Management of the company's capital requirements, including capital losses, capital departures (e.g. distributions and capital reductions) and capital inflows
• Conduct of shareholder meetings, board meetings and general meetings and necessary minutes and registration
• Keeping a register of owners and registering ownership in public registers

Shareholders must be aware of decisions that may affect the welfare of the company. These may be decisions on mergers, acquisitions and liquidation that should not be implemented until shareholders have voted.
