3. The purposes and legal basis for the processing of your personal data
The purpose of processing your personal data is basically to be able to answer your inquiry and/or to be able to fulfill the agreement on legal assistance or advice that you or the company you represent has entered into with us - as a result of obtaining written consent , which you have given at the same time as your confirmation of my order confirmation.
As far as the legal basis for our processing of any sensitive information about you, this will most often result from the fact that the processing of the information is necessary to establish or defend legal claims or assert these, cf. the data protection regulation, article 9, subsection 2, letter f, but may also be necessary to comply with the client's or your occupational health or social law obligations or to safeguard specific rights, cf. Article 9, subsection of the same regulation. 2, letter b.

Legitimate interests pursued with the processing
As mentioned above, our processing of your personal data takes place on the basis of the balancing of interests rule in the data protection regulation, article 6, subsection 1, letter f. The legitimate interests that justify the processing are the Administration of Justice Act, the Money Laundering Act and the lawyer's ethical rules (read more about these at www.advokatsamfundet.dk).


4. Categories of personal data
When you are a client with us, this means that we process a number of personal data about you and the other parties who may be involved in the case.

General personal data such as name, address, telephone number, email address and a possible contact person is registered in our case management system, in order to manage our agreement and to be able to send you relevant information in connection with the case.

Depending on the type of case, we also collect and register a number of sensitive personal data about you, such as health information in connection with compensation cases for personal injuries.

We handle your personal data separately from all other cases, and only employees dealing with your case have access.


5. Recipients or categories of recipients
The information about you is stored at the company's address in locked archives.

The information is also stored by our data processors (XDC Gruppen A/S) in connection with operational and IT security tasks (such as external hosting of IT programs, software backup etc.). Storage of your information with external business partners (our data processors) is subject to the Danish data protection rules, and data processing agreements have been entered into with data processors that must ensure that your information does not fall into unauthorized hands.
Relevant personal data can be passed on to your insurance company, e.g. when applying for legal aid insurance, to the other party's lawyers in accordance with the Administration of Justice Act, vets, appraisers and external specialists for investigation and expert opinions in accordance with the case.

The following natural and legal persons will, to the relevant extent, be able to access your personal data as part of the case processing, if there is a legal basis for this:

- The court/court, arbitral tribunals
- Public authorities (e.g. the Civil Agency or the Procesvillingsnævnet)
- Counterparties and their lawyers
- Other parties and their lawyers (e.g. by summons and process notification)
- Insurance companies that provide legal aid coverage, or have a party interest
- Experts, appraisers, veterinarians and other external specialists
- Industry organisations, where it is relevant to the matter

Internally at The Law Firm Pernille Skinnerup, only those of our employees who have a work-related need to see your personal data have access to it.


6. Transfer to recipients in third countries, including international organisations
As things stand today, we do not transfer data to countries outside the EU/EEA. If it becomes relevant that some of your data will be transferred to countries located outside the EU/EEA, you will be contacted by us.

7. Where your personal data originates
Personal data processed by us will be collected via the following sources:

- Directly from the client himself
- Third party. Ex. the courts, public authorities, counterparties and their lawyers, witnesses or other persons involved in the case
- Public registers, in particular the Tingbogen, the Personal Register, the CVR register and the CPR register
- Public sources, including the Internet


8. Storage of your personal data
We delete your personal data registered with us (and our data processors) when they are no longer necessary for the purpose or purposes for which they were collected and processed.

As a starting point, we store all relevant case-related information, including your personal data, for 5 years from the time your case is closed. We do not delete your personal data if it is necessary to establish or defend a later legal claim.

The case files are also kept in order to be able to document the course of the case in the event of a dispute in relation to the assistance and/or advice we have provided. We are also obliged to store the case files in order to be able to later assess a potential conflict of interest in connection with new cases, in accordance with the lawyer's ethical rules. We also store bookkeeping material and information obtained for use in compliance with the Money Laundering Act for 5 years - as determined by the Bookkeeping and Money Laundering Act.


9. The right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us on the contact details that appear above in point 1. If you choose to withdraw your consent, it does not affect the legality of our processing of your personal data based on your previously communicated consent and up to the time of withdrawal. If you withdraw your consent, it therefore only takes effect from this point.
