Why Bamboo Data Consulting
As Your Fractional Privacy Officer
Many organizations struggle to manage privacy obligations with limited internal resources. Hiring a full-time Privacy Officer is often out of reach and impractical. Bamboo Data Consulting provides Fractional Privacy Officer services that combine real-world privacy expertise with a practical, business-focused approach. We help you build and maintain effective privacy programs, meet regulatory expectations, and manage risk in a way that fits your organization. You receive experienced guidance, structured processes, and ongoing support from professionals who understand both privacy law and operational realities.
What Does a Fractional Privacy Officer Do?
A Fractional Privacy Officer provides your organization with experienced privacy leadership on a part-time or outsourced basis. We deliver the strategic direction, oversight, and day-to-day management needed to maintain a strong privacy program without the cost of a full-time hire.

In some cases, you may not need a full Privacy Officer, but you do need additional hands and expertise. We can embed a member of our team directly into yours to provide practical, day-to-day privacy support. This can be to cover temporary resource gaps, such as parental leave, or to help manage a large initiative or compliance project. We work as part of your team for as long as you need us.

We help evaluate new projects, systems, and vendors to identify privacy risks before they become problems. Assessments are structured to meet regulatory requirements and support informed business decisions.

Privacy obligations, laws, and consumer expectations change frequently. We monitor your ongoing activities, review processes, and ensure your organization remains aligned with applicable privacy laws and standards.

Strong privacy programs depend on informed employees. We design and deliver practical training that helps staff understand their responsibilities and handle personal information correctly.

Clear communication builds trust. We assist with customer-facing privacy notices, consent language, and responses to privacy-related inquiries so your messaging is accurate and consistent, while ensuring you meet regulatory obligations.

We develop, update, and manage the core documents that support your privacy program, including policies, procedures, and incident response plans.
