Advokatbyrån LexSeven is the personal data controller for the personal data regarding contact persons we receive in connection with assignments or that are otherwise processed when the assignment is prepared or administered. You are not obliged to provide personal data to us, but without this happening, we cannot undertake an assignment because we cannot carry out the necessary due diligence. We process the data to carry out mandatory background checks and to be able to carry out and administer the assignment, to safeguard your interests, for accounting and invoicing purposes. The personal data is processed on the basis that it is necessary to fulfill the contract with you, necessary to fulfill a legal obligation or, in the case of public appointments, to fulfill a task of public interest. The data can also be used for business and method development, market analysis, statistics and risk management. The data that is processed for the purpose of developing and analyzing the business is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in developing the business and communicating with our contacts. Personal data may be transferred between the law firm and another law firm for the purpose of due diligence, for information and knowledge exchange and resource allocation.

We will not disclose personal data to third parties except in cases where (i) it is specifically agreed between the law firm and you, (ii) when it is necessary within the framework of a certain assignment to protect your rights, (iii) if it is necessary for us to fulfill a statutory obligation or to comply with an authority decision or a court decision, or (iv) ) in the event that we employ external service providers who carry out assignments on our behalf. The data may be disclosed to courts, authorities, counterparties and counterparty representatives if it is necessary to protect your rights.

The personal data is saved, in accordance with the obligation entrusted to Advokatbyrån LexSeven according to Guiding rules for good legal practice, under a period of ten years from the date of completion of the case, or the longer period called for by the nature of the case. You have the right to request information from Advokatbyrån LexSeven about the use of the personal data concerning you. We will, at your request or on our own initiative, correct or delete information that is incorrect or limit the processing of such information. You also have the right to request that your data is not processed for direct marketing purposes. You also have the right to receive your personal data in a machine-readable format or, if it is technically possible, to have the data transferred to a third party that you designate. If you are dissatisfied with our treatment, you can submit a complaint to a supervisory authority, which in Sweden is the Data Inspectorate.
