Data protection policy

DaringLaw is committed to ensuring the protection of your personal data in its capacity as data controller.

This data protection policy sets out the type of personal data we hold, how we collect it, how we process it, with whom we share it in the course of our business, how we secure it and how long we keep it.

Your data

In the course of our business, we collect and process the following personal data:

• identity and contact details, including last name, first name, address, telephone number, date of birth, marital status, ID number, education and work experience, tax status, title and function;
• bank details and other financial data necessary for settlement management and fraud prevention;
• sensitive personal data: in the context of the management of your file, we may have to collect and use sensitive personal information about you (physical or mental health, criminal convictions, etc.) to defend your interests

Where we need to collect personal data, whether by law, to process a request from you or to fulfil a contract with you, and you do not provide this data, we may not be able to follow your instructions or fulfil the contract. We may therefore have to cancel our engagement or contract with you. In this case, we will inform you.

By voluntarily providing DaringLaw with sensitive personal data without being asked for it (e.g. by submitting a contact request via the Contact page), the user expressly consents to the use of his/her personal data as described in this policy.
