We use your data to:

Performing statistics. By using our website or clicking on links in our newsletters, we collect aggregated information about browsing behaviour on our website and newsletters for analytical purposes.
We process information we record you visiting our website or read our newsletters in server logs and specifications for monitoring errors and incidents. If the use of the website leads to an error we will flag the error page, the IP address of the visitor and the browser used.

We process your personal data on the basis of your consent and on the basis of our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party. When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party, we will take reasonable measures to prevent unwarranted harm to you. Our legitimate interests may for example be improving our newsletters and website by analysing which parts of our communications are most relevant for persons interested in our activities. Or securing our website.

As a rule, we do not share your personal data with anyone outside Legal.digital. We host many services ourselves, such as website analytics, newsletters, blog platform and documenation platform. However, we may share your personal data with trusted third parties that perform business functions for us or provide services to us. All such third parties will be required to adequately safeguard your personal data, subject to agreements that correspond to the requirements of applicable laws. Your personal data may also be shared on legal grounds or investigations (e.g. disclosure to prevent crime or fraud, or to comply with a court order or legislation).

Your data will be deleted after the minimum retention period dictated by rules for professional conduct, a legal obligation, or in the absence thereof, within two years after our latest assistance provided to you, such as your assignment to us, court proceedings or the resolution of the dispute. We will keep statistic data and technical logs no longer than necessary to improve our services or detect errors and incidents.

You can request access to and have the opportunity to correct, delete or export your personal data through the newsletters we send or by contacting N. Westerlaken. You may also restrict or object to the processing of your personal data. These rights may be limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate we have a legal requirement to process your data.
