2. Which data are collected

We use your data to improve our service and ensure the quality of our products and services and to keep in touch with you.

2.1. Automatically collected data

Our website is based on various technologies with the purpose of ensuring user friendliness and security. These technologies can automatically collect data in order to offer the best possible solution, either directly by us or by a third party on our behalf. Examples of this are clickstream data and the placing of cookies.

All visits to a digital solution result in data being sent from your browser to a server. It is through the analysis of such data that we optimize the digital solutions. Data are collected by a third party on our behalf. Data about your computer may be collected for use in system administration. Such data are statistical information about the users’ behaviour in the digital solutions. Examples of data being collected and possibly analysed are:

  • Date and time of visit
  • The pages visited in the solution
  • The IP address of the visitor
  • Data about the browser and computer used (type, version, operating system, etc.)
  • URL from referral site (the site through which the visitor accessed our solution).

We use Google Analytics as web analysis solution in our digital solutions. In this connection, web analysis data are sent from our digital solution to be analysed in the service provided by Google. In this case, Google Analytics is the “processor” of data for which we are the controller, and such data may only be disclosed by agreement or in order to adhere to legal claims.

2.2. Data provided by you

In addition to the data collected automatically, we also process data which the users have actively provided to us.

Examples of data actively provided by users are:

  • Name, address, contact information from new clients.
  • Data needed in connection with our legal services.
  • Data shared with us via social media, including LinkedIn and Facebook.
  • Data sent by e-mail, including job applications.

3. Use and storage of collected data

3.1. Purpose of collection

Below are some examples of the use of collected data:

  • Ensuring user friendliness and security.
  • Optimisation of our website.
  • Performing the legal assistance you require.
  • Setting you up as supplier.
  • If you send us a job application, we process this with a view to assessing the possibility of employment.
3.2. Storage

The data are stored for the period allowed according to legislation, and we erase them when they are no longer necessary in order to fulfil the duty of attorneys to retain files. The period depends on the nature of the data and the reason for storage. Specifically, the following applies to storage periods:

  • With regard to our customers/clients we generally keep the data received for 3 years after the end/inactivity of the customer relationship.
  • If you send us a job application, we generally delete it 6 months after receipt, unless we decide to proceed with the employment process and/or obtain your consent to keep the application.
3.3. Disclosure of data

We only disclose our customers’ data to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy.

We may disclose your data if we are obligated to disclose or share data in order to fulfil a legal obligation. Disclosure may also take place at the instruction of a court of law or another authority or in order to protect trademarks, rights or property. This entails an exchange of data with other businesses and organisations with a view to protecting against fraud. Moreover, we may in connection with our assistance need to disclose your data to other advisers. This will generally only take place with your consent.

We use service providers and data processors who carry out work on our behalf. In addition, we use a number of third parties for storage and processing of data. They will be under a contractual obligation to treat all data in strict confidence and are thus not allowed to use data for any other purpose than covered by the contractual obligation to us, and we check that our business partners fulfil their obligations.

We only use data processors in the EU or in countries that can ensure sufficient protection of your data. If we disclose your data to a service provider or data processor outside the EU, we make sure that we adhere to the legislation applicable to such transfers.

Our website may link to other websites If you use such links, you leave our website and are therefore subject to other conditions and privacy policies for which we are not responsible.
