We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please Contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Personal data is not subject to disclose. All your personal data are strictly kept private and confidential at all times, unless we are expressly authorised by you to disclosure such data to third parties, or in the event we must comply with your instructions or with any relevant laws and regulations, applicable from time to time, under which we provide our services as lawyers.

In order to deliver services to you it is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example:

if you or we have service providers located outside the EEA;

if you are based outside the EEA;

where there is an international dimension to the matter on which we are advising you.

As such, it may be necessary to transfer the personal information we collect to countries outside of the EEA which do not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which you reside and are not recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. We only transfer personal information to these countries when it is necessary for the services we provide you, or it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or subject to safeguards that assure the protection of your personal information, such as European Commission approved standard contractual clauses.

In certain circumstances we may need to ask your consent unless there is an overriding legal need to transfer the Personal Data.

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will use, share and safeguard that information as described in this Privacy policy.

All your personal data is saved on electronic data storage equipment and files kept in safe private locations where they will be secure and not available to any third parties. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and where required, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. However we reserve the right to keep your personal data for a longer time where reasonably required by the specific purposes of my processing mentioned above.

Following this period of time, your physical and electronic files shall be securely and safely destroyed.

By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

To summarise, you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data.

This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

This is made where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

This is where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please Contact us.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for:

• baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or

• further copies of the same information.

Alternatively, we may be entitled to refuse to act on the request.

Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We’ll respond as soon as we can.Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll notify you and keep you updated.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

You have the right by law to make a complaint at any time to the “Information Commissioner”, the UK’ supervisory authority for data protection issues (https://www.ico.org.uk – T: 0303 123 1113). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

We reserve the right to update and change this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect any changes to the way in which we process personal Data. Any changes to our privacy policy in the future will be posted to this website (palazzolawboutique.com). Please ensure that you check this for any updates or changes from time to time
