## Practice

* Incorporate detailed provisions within the legal framework that specify permissible data collection, usage, and sharing practices, to name a few, particularly focusing on data protection, privacy, and user rights.
* Issue practice directions for the review of security services’ requests for data access, stipulating minimum evidentiary requirements for such approvals, which must be granted by properly constituted courts with requisite knowledge of the subject matter.
* Assess the legal framework regularly.
