The purpose of this privacy notice is to inform users of LT of (i) the personal data collected; (ii) the purposes of collection; (iii) how it is used; (iv) how the data is safeguarded; and (v) what rights data subjects are entitled to.

This privacy notice only refers to Lawyers Translate and does not apply to any other website to which pages of the LT website may link.

Such communications may concern visitors, clients, providers and/or partners.

General Information on Data Processing

For the purposes of this privacy notice, "personal data" is intended as the information concerning the users that allow the Data Controller to identify them, either directly, indirectly, or if associated with other data.

 

Users

The Data Controller processes the personal data of the users of LT based on their consent. By consulting or using LT, the users confirm they have read this privacy notice and agree to the processing of their personal data for the following purposes: (i) request a quote or other information on the services offered by filling out the contact form found on the website homepage; (ii) request the provision of a service through LT. The users also agree that their data may be communicated to third parties in case this should be required for the provision of a service. The provision of the data, therefore, the granting of consent to the collection and the processing thereof is optional. The user has the option to deny its consent, and it may withdraw any consent previously granted. However, failure to provide the data may determine the inability to provide certain services and may also compromise browsing.

 

Clients

The Data Controller shall enact every measure required to maintain the information of which he may become aware while providing the services offered strictly confidential. Any information communicated by the client through LT, including the personal data of the client itself, the texts, and any other information concerning the project entrusted, shall be treated with strict confidentiality, and the personal data collected shall be processed in accordance with article 6 of the GDPR.

Specifically, the Data Controller will use the information provided to implement the contract (and possibly to implement any pre-contractual measures). The Data Controller may not, without the prior written consent of the client, disclose such information to third parties except for members of its staff or authorized providers if their involvement necessarily implies their knowledge of such information. The above-mentioned guarantees do not apply in case the Data Controller is required by law to communicate such information, or in case such information shall be, or shall become publicly known independently from the disclosure of the latter by the Data Controller or also in the event that vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require such processing.
