Data principles
When we collect and process data, we ensure that it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the processing carried out. We take steps to ensure that the data we process is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.
If you refuse to provide us with this information, we may not be able to offer you our services effectively.
We protect your personal data by means of physical and logical measures such as access restrictions to equipment and premises, and password policies.
Data recipients
We do not pass on your personal data to third parties, except in the case of our subcontractors or third parties legally authorized by law or by their functions to have access to it.
Transfer of data outside the European Union
All the personal data we process is hosted in France. Consequently, we do not transfer personal data outside the European Union.
This being said, the specificities of a case with an international scope and the interests of our customers may lead us in certain cases to transfer personal data outside the European Union, in which case these transfers are based alternatively on :
- the necessity of the transfer for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (art. 49 e) RGPD);
- the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract concluded between the firm and our customers or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of our customers (art. 49 b) RGPD).
Data retention
We only keep your data for as long as is necessary for the purposes of the processing carried out, depending on whether your data has been processed as part of the management of your file and to comply with our legal obligations.
| Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|
| Management and follow-up of customer files | 5 years from the end of our mandate 10 years for certain legal documents |
| Billing management | 10 years |
