PRIVACY POLICY

The Law Firm is the controller of the processing of personal data within the scope of our business and we work actively to safeguard the privacy of our clients, contacts, job applicants and partners.

In this Privacy Policy, we provide you with information regarding why and how we process personal data. You can also read about your rights as a data subject and how you can contact us with questions or feedback.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on June 1, 2022.

1 Client engagements
When assessing whether we can accept an engagement, when administering an engagement and when completing an engagement, it is necessary for us to process personal data. Generally, personal data is provided by the customer, but they may also be added by us with help from private and public registers or other external sources. The purpose of this processing is to be able to execute the engagement agreement with the customer or to fulfill legal obligations.

Your personal data may be transferred to third parties (e.g. public authorities/bodies, courts, service providers, other legal advisers, auditors, consultants, etc.) if this is required for the performance of the engagement.

For the above-mentioned purposes, the personal data may be transferred to a party in a country which is not a member of the EU/EEA (third country) or to an international organization. However, such transfers only take place when the personal data can be sufficiently protected.

The Law Firm does not store your personal data longer than what is necessary to fulfill the above-mentioned purposes.

The contact information of clients might be used for marketing purposes. Such processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest. If you no longer want to receive marketing e-mails from us, click on the link in the e-mail/invitation, or contact us at info@varumarkesombudet.se.

2 Recruitment and job applications
To process your application, we need to handle the personal data necessary for the recruitment process e.g., your contact information and the information that you provide in your resume, CV and other attached documents. We process this information to take steps prior to entering into an eventual employment contract with you.

Employees responsible for the recruitment have access to the information and they may also be transferred to companies, consultants and experts who help us with it.

The Law Firm stores your personal data during the recruitment process. If we want to keep your application documents for a longer period, e.g. for future recruitment purposes, we will contact you first and ask for your consent.

3 Requests and social media
To be able to handle and answer your request we need to process the contact information you provide. We base our initial processing of your personal data on our legitimate interest in following up your request. Therefore, we save your personal information for a reasonable time required to get back to you with our answer.

When you interact with us on our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.), your user profile information is shared with the social media platform provider and the Law Firm can’t guarantee the safety of this processing.
