Privacy policy of clients of Conrad & Partner Advokatur Ltd.

What does this privacy policy regulate?

This privacy policy contains information on how personal data is collected and processed in the context of a client relationship with Conrad & Partner Advokatur Ltd.

How can you contact us?

Responsible for the processing of the personal data described in this privacy policy is:

Conrad & Partner Advokatur Ltd.
Data protection
Weite Gasse 14
5400 Baden

If you have any questions regarding our handling of personal data or other data protection concerns, you are welcome to contact our data protection officer at advokatur_at_conrad-partner.ch.

What personal data do we process and for what purposes do we process your data?

We process the following personal data as part of a client relationship:

  • Client data and data for mandate management: first names, surnames and contact details of contact persons, position and title, associated company/job, industry, any cross-connections (e.g. shareholder or related parties) and other background information from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial register), any referring person, content of enquiry and mandate, counterparties and their representatives as well as further information to control potential conflicts of interest;
  • Mandate data: communication with clients, courts, counter-attorneys and third parties, counselling documentation, information disclosed to us by or on behalf of clients, counterparties, courts, authorities and other parties involved in the proceedings or which we create in the course of our services;
  • Service and billing data: information on the services provided and invoiced, invoice data, proof of performance, invoices, payments, bank details;
  • Supplementary information: information in connection with the participation in our events and further information we receive from our clients.

We mainly process personal data in order to provide, to document, to invoice and to enhance our services. This includes data processing to fulfil legal requirements (e.g. to check for any conflicts of interest) and to enforce or defend against legal claims. We also process the personal data of our clients in order to communicate with them, respond to enquiries and send them information about our law firm and invitations to events, courses, conferences or lectures.

How do we use your data in relation to the newsletter?

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we require your first name, surname and e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary. We use the data collected exclusively for sending and personalising the newsletter. We will not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.

By subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to any transfer of data to third parties.

If you no longer wish to receive mandate-independent information or invitations from us, you can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by sending a message to advokatur_at_conrad-partner.ch.

Do we pass on your data to third parties?

We do not pass on any personal data to third parties without the consent of the person concerned, unless this is done in connection with the processing of the mandate or is necessary for the purposes described in this data protection declaration. In particular, information may be passed on to courts and authorities, counterparties, correspondence lawyers, legal expenses insurers and other experts in the course of processing the mandate.

We may transfer personal data to recipients (such as counterparties or authorities) in countries that do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to Swiss law. We may disclose personal data to a country without an adequate level of data protection without concluding a separate contract if we can rely on an exemption clause. An exception may apply in particular to legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interest or if the performance of a contract that is in your interest requires such disclosure (e.g. if we disclose data to our correspondent law firms), if you have given your consent, or if it is not possible to obtain your consent within a reasonable period of time and the disclosure is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or the enforcement of legal claims.

We may also pass on personal data to contract data processors, in particular to IT providers and other providers who make IT applications available (e.g. collaboration platforms, cloud services, translation tools) or provide support and other services for the purposes listed in this data protection declaration on our behalf.

What rights do you have in relation to your personal data?

Persons about whom we process data have the right to request information in accordance with Art. 25 of the Federal Act on Data Protection of 25 September 2020.

Insofar as our processing is based on consent, every data subject has the right to withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.
You can also assert the other rights in accordance with the applicable Swiss data protection law.

To exercise such rights, data subjects can contact our data protection officer at advokatur_at_conrad-partner.ch. We will process these requests in accordance with the applicable Swiss data protection law and may also reject them or fulfil them only to a limited extent in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The person concerned can also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner as provided for in the Data Protection Act (www.edoeb.admin.ch).

How is this privacy policy amended?

It may be necessary to amend this privacy policy from time to time, for example if the law or the way in which we process personal data changes. In this case, the new version will be published on our website.
