This allowed me the opportunity to start a new area from scratch inside a company that just concluded its Series C round, where it raised $60M.Templates were drafted and put in place and the sales and procurement workflows were reviewed, with a constant legal input set in motion. Specifically, I negotiated sales agreements, NDAs and data processing agreements with big U.S. and European tech companies and gig economy players.My specific privacy background was a great match to support the upgrade of our platform, with a new privacy policy and cookie policy. I also got in touch with the "gig economy aspect" of our business model, reviewing the terms of service applicable to our remote translators. Given that we constantly improve our ML systems, I was involved in the appraisal of data usage licenses. On the other hand, paving the road to ISO27001 certification, I took part of the cybersecurity strategy, dealing with information security policy review, risk assessments and security review.
