Ador Legal Services places great importance on your privacy. This Privacy Policy demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal data ("Personal Data") when you engage us for professional services ("Services") or use our website or communicate with us.
By using our Services and/or communicating with us via the contact form on our website, by email, or through other channels, and/or by accessing our website or any other content we may make available, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you must inform us and cease using our Services and/or our website or any other content. In such a case, we will no longer be able to provide you with additional Services.
For the purposes of data protection legislation, we act as the data controller.
We process the Personal Data you provide to us when using our Services or communicating with us (such as your name, email and postal address, phone number, language preference, job title, professional affiliations, and the content of your communication).
Personal Data may concern you as well as your employees and agents. You are responsible for ensuring that the Personal Data submitted is accurate and that the individuals concerned have been informed of our processing of their data and have consented to such processing, if required.
In certain cases, Personal Data may be supplemented by information received from third parties or obtained from public sources, such as online media or employer websites, in order to confirm your current professional position or obtain additional information that enables us to provide our Services effectively and communicate with you.
We use Personal Data to provide our Services, manage our relationship with you, ensure security and risk management, comply with applicable laws and regulations, and communicate with you, particularly to send newsletters or invitations to events, training programs, or conferences, to maintain our contact list and/or to provide you with any other information you may request.
If you apply for a position with us, we process your Personal Data for the purposes of assessing your application, carrying out the recruitment process, and if successful, preparing and concluding an employment contract.
We do not subject you to high-risk profiling or to automated individual decision-making.
We generally retain Personal Data for as long as needed for our processing purposes, any legal retention period, or for our legitimate interests, particularly for documentation and evidence purposes, or if retention is technically required (e.g., for backups). In the absence of any such reasons for retention, we normally delete Personal Data in accordance with our usual processes.
Cookies are small text files downloaded onto your device when you visit the Ador Legal Services website or when you open our marketing emails (such as newsletters or invitations to events or webinars). Cookies (including third-party cookies like those provided by Google Analytics) are notably used to improve the website or for general marketing purposes by providing information about how unique browser-device pairs interact with the website (e.g., the number of sessions and time spent); statistical information about interaction with the site (including referral sources, popularity of certain content, categories of users accessing the site, markets, regions, languages, demographics, types of browsers and devices, and similar information); or statistical information about interaction with our marketing emails (such as whether they were opened, forwarded, or if any links were clicked).
Third-party providers like Google may track your use of our website, combine this information with that from other websites you have visited (which they also track), and use the combined information for their own purposes. If you are registered with such providers, they may be able to identify you. In such cases, their processing of your Personal Data is governed by their own privacy policies (to find out how Google uses your Personal Data when you visit our site, please see here).
You can change your browser settings to delete and block cookies (or to disable Google Analytics, you can download and install the browser add-on provided by Google available here).
Where we process Personal Data for the purposes described in this document, and if and to the extent required, we may rely alternatively or cumulatively on (a) your consent to this Privacy Policy, (b) our legitimate interests in communicating with you as a professional contact about our activities and events and/or in the performance of any Services or contract, or (c) another legal basis for processing your Personal Data under applicable laws and regulations.
Personal Data will only be used by us and by our technology providers (who are required to protect your Personal Data to the same extent as we do). We limit the use of and access to your Personal Data to those who absolutely need it to provide our Services or to access our website and/or communicate with you.
When we process Personal Data as part of a mandate, we do so in accordance with your instructions. In certain cases, depending on the nature of our Services and the instructions received, your Personal Data may be disclosed to third parties such as external law firms, experts, (contractual) opposing parties, government authorities, and courts in Switzerland and abroad, including in countries where an adequate level of data protection is not guaranteed.
We do not sell or otherwise transfer your Personal Data to third parties without your prior consent or unless required by applicable law or regulation.
We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to preserve the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your Personal Data. We regularly review our security policies and procedures to ensure our systems are secure and protected, and we ensure compliance with all applicable data protection and security laws.
We welcome your questions and comments. You have the right to be informed about any processing of your Personal Data by us to verify the lawfulness of the processing, subject to any limitations under applicable law. If your Personal Data is incorrect or incomplete, you may request its rectification or completion. To the extent allowed by applicable law, you may also request the deletion of your Personal Data or a temporary restriction of processing in certain cases. You may further object to the processing of your Personal Data, in which case we may be unable to provide the relevant services.
If you have any questions or if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our processing of your Personal Data, please feel free to contact us at dataprotection@adorlegalservices.com or through our contact form available on our website.
