Privacy Policy

AG Advokat is the data controller for personal data relating to contact persons that we receive in connection with assignments or that we otherwise process when preparing or administering an assignment. You are not obliged to provide us with personal data, but without it we cannot accept an assignment, as we cannot carry out the necessary conflict-of-interest and anti-money laundering checks.

We process the data to carry out mandatory conflict-of-interest checks and, where applicable, anti-money laundering checks; to perform and administer the assignment; to safeguard your interests; and for accounting and invoicing purposes. This data is processed on the basis of performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation and a legitimate interest.

The data may also be used for business and service development, market analysis, statistics and risk management. Data processed for the purpose of developing and analysing our business is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in developing our business and communicating with our contacts.

Personal data may be transferred between the law firm’s affiliated entities for the purpose of carrying out conflict-of-interest and anti-money laundering checks, exchanging information and knowledge, and allocating resources.

We will not disclose personal data to third parties except where (i) this has been specifically agreed between the law firm and you, (ii) disclosure is necessary within the scope of a particular assignment to safeguard your rights, (iii) disclosure is necessary for us to comply with a statutory obligation or a decision of a public authority or court, or (iv) we engage external service providers to perform assignments on our behalf.

The data may be disclosed to courts, public authorities, counterparties and their representatives where necessary to safeguard your rights.

In accordance with AG Advokat’s obligations under the Swedish Bar Association’s Code of Conduct, personal data is retained for ten years from the date the matter is concluded, or for any longer period required by the nature of the matter. Data processed for the purpose of developing, analysing and marketing the law firm’s business is retained for one year after the most recent contact. If you unsubscribe from newsletters or similar communications, the data will be deleted immediately.

You have the right to request, free of charge, information from AG Advokat about the use of personal data relating to you. At your request or on our own initiative, we will rectify or erase inaccurate data or restrict the processing of such data. You also have the right to request that your data not be processed for direct marketing purposes. You further have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

If you are dissatisfied with our processing, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, which in Sweden is the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (www.imy.se). You may also contact the supervisory authority in the country where you live or work.
