  1. Data Processor. Who do we share your data with?

We process data solely for our own use. However, in order to perform our work effectively, we may share your personal data only with our collaborators, public authorities, and service providers to whom we outsource tasks related to personal data processing — for example, IT service providers, marketing service providers, or data storage providers. These entities process data based on agreements with us and only in accordance with our instructions.

The data of all users of the Website is processed within an IT system, which is partly hosted in a so-called public cloud provided by third-party entities (responsible for hosting the Website).

The personal data of individuals using the contact form is also processed within an IT system, which is partly hosted in a cloud environment provided by third-party entities responsible for hosting the email services we use. Due to the location of these entities’ servers, such data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in third countries. However, these entities guarantee an adequate level of data protection.

Our IT systems are maintained by an external specialized service provider. While delivering services to us, this provider may have access to your personal data.

In addition, anonymous data of all Website users contained in cookies is disclosed to Google LLC, which provides us with the Google Analytics service. The servers of this company are located in various parts of the world, which means that such data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. However, Google LLC guarantees an adequate level of data protection. You can check the location of Google LLC’s servers here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=pl.

  1. For how long?

We will store your data until you withdraw your consent or 30 days after the initial case analysis is completed (if we determine that the case qualifies for acceptance, your data will be processed in connection with the performance of the contract). Personal data provided via the form will be stored no longer than necessary for AJ LAW to respond to you, and after that time, it may be retained in case of potential claims for the period of their limitation as defined by law. The processing of your personal data contained in cookies continues until the ability to use them is disabled. You can do this by deleting cookies and changing your cookie settings in your browser. After these actions, we will delete or anonymize your data.

The legal basis for processing the personal data you enter in this form is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, i.e., processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller.

  1. How can you withdraw your consent?

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your data at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal. You can withdraw your consent by sending a statement of withdrawal to our postal address or email address. However, after the withdrawal of consent, we will no longer have a legal basis to continue providing you with legal support in your case.
