Data Protection & Privacy
Firm respects the right to privacy of our clients as well as our team members. We consider all personal data and information as sensitive and confidential and we treat them accordingly. Please note that different legal regulations concerning data protection may apply in the individual jurisdictions. We always act in accordance with such applicable regulations. On top of that, we also follow certain principles common to all EU Member States even if the local regulations do not include such principles or when no relevant local legal regulations exist at all.
When we collect various personal data and information necessary to duly carry out our business, we acknowledge the responsibility to protect their confidentiality and security.
We never share such personal data and information with anyone unless we are required to do so by law. We use them exclusively for legitimate business purposes for which they were obtained and collected. All team members are required not to use any such data or information for other purposes – neither internal nor external. We safely discard all personal data and information when we no longer need them or when we are required to do so by the respective person. In this connection, please note that in certain cases your colleagues may need to access your office, files, records, computer or e-mail when there is no other possibility to retrieve some documents or information and you are not available.
Exceptionally, we may be required to allow an inspection by the authorities. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do not keep any sensitive personal records or information in such places.
