Privacy Policy for Danish Legal Forum

1. Data Controller and Contacts

Danish Legal Forum acts as the data controller for any personal information we process about you. We guarantee that all data handling aligns strictly with current Danish and EU legislation. Should you have inquiries regarding our data processing activities, please contact us through our official support channels.

2. Purpose of Processing

We process your personal data to provide professional legal counsel, manage client relations, fulfill our statutory obligations, and pursue our legitimate commercial interests regarding effective case management and secure professional communication flow.

3. Categories of Personal Data

We primarily handle general data such as names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers. In certain circumstances, we may process sensitive information, including national ID numbers or criminal records, when strictly relevant to the performance of legal representation.

4. Legal Basis

The processing of personal data is conducted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 6(1). Sensitive data is processed per Article 9, while the use of national ID numbers complies with Section 11 of the Danish Data Protection Act regulations.

5. Recipients and International Transfers

We only disclose your personal data to third-party partners, such as IT providers and public authorities, when necessary to fulfill our contract or legal duties. As a rule, we do not transfer data outside the EU/EEA unless a valid legal basis for such a transfer is established and verified.

6. Retention Periods

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Due to statutory limitation periods and ethical duties for lawyers, case files are typically stored for 5 to 10 years after closing, then permanently deleted or anonymized.

7. Rights of Data Subjects

Under the GDPR, you possess several rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability. You also maintain the right to object to our otherwise lawful processing of your information. Please contact our firm to exercise these specific rights.

8. Security

We have implemented rigorous technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, ensuring all processing remains in full compliance with Danish data protection laws.

9. Complaints to Authority

You have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) if you are dissatisfied with our processing. Contact details are found at www.datatilsynet.dk.

10. Policy Amendments

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy. In the event of significant changes, we will notify you via our website or through direct communication. The most recent version is always available for your review.
