For your complete information, you can find the legal bases relevant to these processes below:
We base the processing of personal data for the provision of services to clients and for the follow-up of sales and invoicing on two legal grounds. If the client is a natural person, we base this processing on the necessity for the performance of the agreement that we have concluded with the person concerned. If the client is a legal person, we base this on the need for the representation of our legitimate interests for the implementation of the agreement concluded with the client (which is not the person concerned).
We base the processing of your personal data in the context of the identification of our clients on our legal obligation under the money laundering legislation.
We base the processing of personal data for electronic direct marketing purposes (sending our electronic newsletter) on your opt-in permission. Only if you have unambiguously indicated that you wish to receive our electronic newsletter (you are completely free), will we register for this. Know that you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without charging us any costs and without having any negative consequences for you. You can do this via the opt-out link included in each of our marketing emails or by sending an email to .
In all other cases, we base the processing of personal data on the need to protect our legitimate interests (in particular our interest in contacting prospects and potential clients, handling inquiries, promoting our business in general, both online and offline, to maintain our contacts, etc.).
We base the processing of personal data in the context of a selection procedure on the need to take measures at the request of the person concerned before the conclusion of an agreement, or on our legitimate interests to use this data in such a way that we have the best to be able to make recruitment decisions.
We always base the processing of personal data for use as a reference on our website or in legal guides such as Legal 500 and Chambers on your prior consent.

Where necessary, we will, for example, conclude a transfer agreement or a processor agreement, which sets out restrictions on the use of your personal data and obligations regarding the security of your personal data.
