We process personal data in the following contexts:
The website
When you visit our website www.detlevsen.com, we collect data about you in order to compile statistics, optimise the website, etc.
We process the following, among other things:
- Your IP address, which is used for statistical purposes
- Your operating system and browser version, which is used to optimise the future user experience on the website
- Date and time of the visit to the website, which is used solely for statistical purposes
- We place cookies on your device, including third-party cookies.
Case resolution – client and party information
We process general, confidential and sensitive personal data about our clients and others related to the cases we solve and advise on.
When you are a client of Detlevsen Law Firm, we process your personal data as part of our case management. We also receive personal data about other involved parties than our clients.
We are subject to professional secrecy under the Danish Administration of Justice Act and the Code of Conduct for Lawyers. When we handle a case, we often disclose information to other external parties such as counterparties or courts, etc. However, this only applies if the collection, registration and disclosure of the information is necessary in order to process and assist our clients in the individual case.
How we process your data
As part of the performance of our work, it is necessary for us to process your personal data by collecting, systematising, storing, using, storing, deleting, transferring and disclosing the data.
Safety and security
The information that you provide us with or that we receive about you from others is kept secure and confidential, and we have implemented technical security measures to ensure this. In addition, we make sure, as far as possible, to use data processors within the EU and otherwise with data centres in the EU, which we have ensured have the same security around your information as we do.
Storage and deletion
We only store your data for as long as necessary. The actual length of time will always depend on the individual situation, and special legal rules, including accounting, anti-money laundering and statute of limitations laws, may give us either the obligation or the right to store it for a longer period of time. Information collected in connection with the resolution of cases is stored together with the case file for up to 5 years.
Money laundering
If your case is covered by the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act, we are subject to a number of obligations under the Act. In this connection, we will process personal data in the form of name, CPR number and passport number, as well as CVR number in the case of a company.
We must also verify the identity information. The same applies when the client is a company, where we have a duty to verify the identity of the company’s owners.
We are obliged to notify the Danish Bar and Law Society or the Money Laundering Secretariat at the State Prosecutor for Serious Economic and International Crime if suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing arise, and we will be obliged to keep the fact that we have made a notification secret.
The information is processed solely to fulfil our obligations under the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act. We store the information, as well as the documentation, for 5 years after the end of the client relationship in accordance with the rules on anti-money laundering control measures.
Your rights
With few exceptions, you have the right to access the data we process about you. You have the right to have incorrect information about yourself corrected and you have the right to have your information supplemented with additional information if you wish.
In special cases, you have the right to have information about you erased before the time of our normal general erasure takes place. However, this does not apply if, for example, the processing of the data is necessary or we are obliged to store the data.
In certain cases, you also have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data. If you have the right to restrict processing, we may in future, in addition to storing your data, only process your data with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or to protect a person or important public interests.
Under data portability rules, you can request to receive a copy of your personal data in a machine-readable format and request that we transfer data to another data controller.
If we process your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, we will stop processing your personal data unless we are entitled or obliged to continue processing on another valid basis under data protection rules. You should be aware that our processing of some of your personal data is necessary. This means that you either cannot withdraw your consent to our processing of your data or – if you do – you can no longer receive counselling.
