Independence
The DPO is not instructed on how to perform their tasks. The DPO does not hold any other position within LawFuze that would create a conflict of interest (such as Head of Engineering or CEO). The DPO may be removed only for cause; routine performance management does not extend to DPO duties.
External DPO
LawFuze plans to engage an external DPO once headcount or processing-volume thresholds require it, and as part of Phase 2 post-public-launch compliance. The transition will be announced on this page with at least 30 days' notice.
