The truth about how your data is handled.
Not paperwork - an honest, transparent account of what happens to your information, and I stand behind it. Practical GDPR and UK GDPR compliance for organizations across the UK and EU.
Hi, I'm Jana. I make data protection practical.
Verity Privacy is a boutique GDPR consultancy specializing in EU and UK data protection law, run by Jana Beguna - an EU data protection consultant. When you work with Verity, you work directly with Jana.
I help businesses handle personal data properly - from reviewing websites and software for GDPR and UK GDPR compliance, to drafting privacy documentation, acting as an outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO), and advising on day-to-day privacy questions and staff training. From website privacy policies to data protection compliance in the UK and EU, the goal is always the same: make compliance practical, not overwhelming.
[1] Verity - from the Latin veritas, "truth"; conformity to fact, free from distortion.
Privacy - from the Latin privatus, "set apart, belonging to oneself"; freedom from unwanted intrusion.
I'm a CIPP/E certified privacy professional, a graduate of Riga Graduate School of Law, and hold an LLM from Stockholm University.
I've worked as a lawyer since 2018, with data protection as my core focus. In 2026, I launched Verity Privacy to work with clients directly.
I see privacy not just as a legal obligation, but as an asset worth protecting carefully - which is why I treat every client's situation as its own case, not a variation on a template.
