INFORMATION WE SHARE AND TRANSFER
We share some of your personal information with other Fragomen offices to provide you with information that will be relevant to your interests and to connect you with Fragomen lawyers or advisors who may be useful to you. For these purposes, your personal information will be processed in, or accessed from, Fragomen offices situated in jurisdictions that do not have equivalent data protection laws to those in your country of residence.
In addition, our global client relationship management systems are hosted by our offices in the United States. We safeguard your data within the Fragomen group of companies through the use of European Commission-approved standard contractual data protection clauses.
Your personal information will be shared with companies providing services under contract to us for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice that may be located in a different country than you. When transferring your personal information, we rely on European Commission-approved standard contractual data protection clauses with service providers or the service provider’s adherence to the EU recognized adequacy frameworks that protect your information. For further information, including to obtain a copy of the documents used to protect your information, please contact us as described in the How to contact us section below.
YOUR CHOICE AND RIGHTS
If you have any questions about our information handling practices or if you wish to access your personal information you should contact our Data Privacy Office at: [email protected].
If you are based in the European Union
You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal information; to correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal information; and to obtain the personal information you provide in a structured, machine readable format. In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement). Where we have asked for your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time.
These rights may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority where you reside, where you work or where you believe there has been an infringement of data protection laws.
We will retain your personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, after which we will take steps to delete your personal information or hold it in a form that no longer identifies you. If you engage our services, we will retain your personal information in accordance with the Fragomen Privacy Policy and Notice.
