Introducing the Wordsmith Privacy Office. Privacy work rarely arrives neatly packaged. There are records of processing to maintain, DPIAs to complete and DSARs that have a habit of landing late on a Friday. Today, Wordsmith is launching the Privacy Office: a collection of tools and agents designed specifically for privacy and compliance teams. It brings together the solutions and agents Wordsmith AI Ltd has been building at Wordsmith, from multi document redaction to DSAR management and data breach handling. Each one built by Wordsmith AI Ltd, to help you meet your privacy obligations. The Privacy Office has been shaped by teams at Trustpilot, Remote and Kantar, which have spent the past several months building and testing privacy workflows in Wordsmith. At Trustpilot, Wordsmith is embedded across the legal teams within the Trust function, including for several privacy related applications. "From an intake form that triages and answers queries from the wider business, to Slack integrations that let commercial teams self-serve against due diligence questionnaires, we've saved upwards of 50% of our time in some cases, improved the quality and consistency of our output, and empowered our colleagues to focus on higher value work." Andrew Farquhar, VP of Legal, Privacy & AI and DPO, Trustpilot At Remote, the data protection team is using Wordsmith across several privacy workflows: "The data protection team uses Wordsmith to answer internal privacy queries directly in Slack, drawing on their own FAQ knowledge base so the team reviews and adapts rather than starting from scratch. Their LIAs, DPIAs and Transfer Impact Assessments now come together as structured first drafts, with a human reviewing before anything is finalised. Next, they're looking at using Wordsmith to extract data categories, purposes and retention terms from vendor DPAs at the contracting stage, keeping their ROPA live rather than reviewing it periodically." Yancho Yanchev, Managing Legal Counsel, Remote And at Kantar, Wordsmith runs the governance process itself: "A custom Skill drafts every governance document to the same standard, so consistency and audit-readiness are baked in from the first draft, not bolted on later. Our horizon-scanning Agent watches regulatory developments and links them straight back to the specific documents they affect. Wordsmith is quietly turning our governance framework into a system that mostly looks after itself." Viviane Rabe von Pappenheim, Senior Legal Counsel, Kantar The Privacy Office is launching today, Over the coming months, Wordsmith will add more ready to use privacy workflows to the product. If you're a Wordsmith customer looking to build new privacy workflows, get in touch with its Head of Privacy, Ben Martin, who's built tools for ROPAs, DPIAs and DSARs that customers are already using.
