Data processing

We process personal data in order to offer services, improve services and communicate with you personally. As a data subject, you can choose to leave your personal data. You can also unsubscribe from our newsletter or other forms of communication from our office.

 

Purposes of data processing

Your personal data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Performing our services;
  • Sending information, such as newsletters or invitations to events organised by us;
  • Fulfilling our legal obligations;
  • Recruitment and selection (applications).

The personal data we process are only used for the above purposes and we do not process more personal data than necessary for their realisation.

We process the following (types or categories) of personal data for the purpose of providing services or provided by the data subject from their own initiative:

  • Name and address details, copy of passport, gender, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address as well as IBAN number of the client concerned;
  • Data referred to as above, from the other party or third parties;
  • Data for the purpose of handling the case or resolving the dispute;
  • Data for the purpose of invoicing the work performed;
  • Data other than referred to as above, pursuant to a legal obligation.

 

Data processing principles

Your personal data may be processed by us pursuant to:

  • The consent given by you;
  • Preparing and executing an agreement with you;
  • A legal obligation imposed on us;
  • Our legitimate interests.

If we process your personal data based on your consent, for example consent to receive information, you can withdraw this consent at any time.

We may be legally or contractually obliged to process your personal data, such as under tax laws. In addition, processing your personal data may be a necessary condition for entering into and performing an agreement with you. In these cases, we can provide our services only if you provide us with the necessary personal data. We are regularly involved in dispute resolution and legal proceedings. In doing so, we may process personal data not only from you but also from other parties, such as the opposing party. This is necessary for the performance of our work.

When we carry out our work, case files are created. We archive case files after case closure.

We may use your personal data to evaluate and improve our services.

 

Retention period personal data

We will not retain your personal data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

If the basis for processing your personal data is consent and you withdraw consent, we will no longer retain the personal data.

We will retain the personal data you provide to us in the context of preparing and entering into an agreement with you for no longer than seven (7) years after the end of our last service to you.

If we process personal data pursuant to a legal duty, we will use the retention period specified in that law.

We keep case files and the personal data contained therein for seven (7) years.

When we obtain personal data through the use of cookies, we do not retain this data for longer than necessary for this purpose, up to two (2) years.

We delete personal data of job applicants no later than four (4) weeks after the end of the application procedure.

On our backup systems, we delete personal data as soon as possible after the expiry of the retention periods mentioned above.

 

Your personal data and third parties

Your personal data will not be provided by us to third parties unless:

  • This transfer is necessary in the context of providing our services;
  • This transfer is made to a processor, with which processor we have concluded an agreement ensuring that the processor provides adequate safeguards to protect these personal data;
  • We are required by law to disclose personal data;
  • A court order requires us to provide this data to a third party.

We have engaged third parties for our accounting, archiving, ICT, our CRM system and website management.

 

Privacy policy updates

We reserve the right to supplement or amend our privacy policy. The most recent version of our privacy policy is available on our website.

Our privacy policy was last amended on 22 July 2024.
