Privacy statement

Who are we?

Amrani Advocaten (a partnership), Hoogoord 140B, 1102 CH Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is responsible for the processing of personal data as described in this privacy statement. You can contact us by email at info@amrani.nl or by phone on +31 20 691 88 77.

What personal data do we process?

Client file

If you instruct the lawyer, the lawyer processes personal data provided to the lawyer by you and the other party or parties in your case. This includes in any event your contact details, such as your name, address, email address and telephone number. It also includes personal data relevant to the file. Depending on the subject of the legal assistance, this may also include sensitive and/or special categories of personal data.

Invoicing

If you instruct us, we also process data needed to send invoices and process payments for the services provided by the lawyer. In addition to your contact details, this concerns your bank account number and any other payment details.

Contact

If you contact us by email or by phone, we process the data you provide. This concerns the contact details you give us (name, email address, telephone number) and the reason why you are contacting us (for example because you have a question).

Contact form

If you use the contact form on our website, we process the data you enter: your name, email address, telephone number and your message. This data is forwarded to us by email and is otherwise handled as described below under ‘Contact’.

For what purposes and on what legal basis do we process personal data?

Client file

The lawyer uses the personal data you have provided in the context of a legal assistance engagement to handle your case. Because sensitive and/or special categories of personal data may be processed during the legal assistance (and this is not always clear in advance), we ask for your consent to process your personal data. You give this consent by signing the legal assistance agreement (engagement letter). If you do not give this consent, you unfortunately cannot use the lawyer’s services, because the lawyer cannot provide the services without processing personal data relevant to the file.

You have the right to withdraw your consent. The lawyer may then no longer process your data. From the moment consent is withdrawn, the lawyer can no longer provide services to you and will have to close the file immediately.

Invoicing

We use the payment details you have provided to invoice our work. This processing is necessary for the performance of the contract you conclude with us.

Contact

We use the contact details you provide to contact you where necessary, for example to answer a question. We process this personal data because it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interest, namely being able to carry out our work and obtain new engagements. This also applies to data you provide via the contact form on our website.

How long do we keep your personal data?

Client file

We keep the client file, and the personal data it contains, in principle for five years after the file has been closed. In exceptional cases we keep a file for longer, for example in connection with the limitation period or if the lawyer considers that there is another legitimate interest in keeping the file for longer.

Accounts

We keep our accounts, including invoices and other documents containing the personal data of parties, for a period of seven years after the end of the financial year in order to comply with the statutory tax retention obligation.

Other contact details

We keep other contact details for one year after the last contact, unless you ask us to delete them earlier.

With whom do we share your data?

Your data is stored in a digital file and may appear in emails sent or received by the lawyer, and is therefore stored (and thus processed) by our IT provider. In addition, the payment details you have provided to the lawyer for invoicing purposes are passed on to the party that keeps the financial accounts on behalf of the lawyer. The lawyer has concluded a data processing agreement with these parties which provides for at least the same level of security and confidentiality that you may expect from us.

If you, or another party involved in a legal assistance matter, file a complaint against the lawyer concerning the handling of a legal aid file that contains your personal data, your personal data may be provided to the Stichting Kwaliteit Mediators (SKM) and/or the Stichting Tuchtrechtspraak Rechtsbijstand (STM). Your data will be treated confidentially by both bodies.

We do not otherwise provide your data to third parties, unless we are required by applicable laws and regulations to provide certain data, for example to the court or the Legal Aid Board (Raad voor Rechtsbijstand), to the municipality in connection with an application for special assistance or extracts from the Personal Records Database (BRP) and certificates, or to others where you have given your explicit consent (by email or in writing).

How is your data secured?

We have taken appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access by third parties. We also require our IT provider to take such appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

What are your rights?

You have the following rights:

• The right of access to your personal data and to receive a copy of it.
• The right to rectification of your personal data if it is incorrect or incomplete.
• The right to object to the processing and/or – in certain cases – the right to restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• In certain cases: the right to have your personal data erased (‘right to be forgotten’).
• The right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another party.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us via the email address or telephone number given at the beginning of this privacy statement.

If you do not agree with the way we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl). We would appreciate it if you contact us first, so that we can look for a solution together.

Changes

Sometimes something may change in the personal data we process or in the applicable regulations. In that case we may amend this privacy statement. In the event of significant changes, we will post a notice on the website and inform you of the change by email.
