Our editorial guidelines

Our objective

At Trace we are driven to make compliance with regulations like GDPR clear, with expert yet approachable guidance across written content, videos and visuals. Content is a key part of our strategy: we offer thought leadership in Privacy by Design as well as bite-sized explainers for those less familiar with some of the complex terms in Data Protection and governance.

We are a open and collaborative business: we seek new ideas, partner with experts in related fields where relevant, and take a multi-disciplinary approach to compliance. We are holistic and inclusive, not pedantic or autocratic.

We are creating a hub of relevant events, content and guidance to make our industry more accessible and less opaque.

Our audience

Our products and services are tailored to Data Protection Officers (DPOs), Privacy lawyers, Compliance managers and the C-Suite in organisations across our sectors. We primarily work in the UK, Europe and North America, but also serve organisations all over the globe.
