Legal basis for processing
Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation is the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for the purposes of specific processing. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, where the processing operations are necessary for the provision of legal services, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract, e.g. in the case of inquiries regarding our services. In some cases, we may have a legal obligation – a legal basis – to collect personal data from you or we may need to process it or share it with others in order to “protect your vital interests”. We will also use your personal data where this is in the interests of our legitimate interests.

Your personal data is stored by us for a period of 5 (five) years from the termination of our contractual basis, if we process the personal data for the performance of contractual obligations to you. After this period, and in the event that there is no legal basis for the continued storage of your personal data, the information about you is destroyed.
Your personal data contained in accounting records, financial statements and documents for tax control, audit and subsequent financial inspections are stored for a period of 10 (ten) years, starting from January 1 of the year following the year to which they relate, in accordance with the requirements
