The legal basis for Avanti Law Firm’s processing originates from both the legitimate interest, cf. Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which the law firm has in processing and storing client data, and the necessity thereof to handle your case.

Avanti Law Firm may also process CPR numbers when necessary for clear identification or if required in communication with a public authority, pursuant to data protection laws governing CPR processing.

In cases where it is necessary for case processing or protecting your interests, Avanti Law Firm will handle information on criminal matters in accordance with data protection laws on processing such information.

If you engage in collaboration with Avanti Law Firm, the firm has a legitimate interest, cf. Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, in processing necessary personal information about you.

3. Recipients and Processors of Personal Data

Your personal data is processed solely by Avanti Law Firm unless otherwise required by the nature of the inquiry or the task.

Your information may be shared as necessary with courts, public authorities, and parties involved in legal proceedings or similar matters. Your CPR number may be shared with the Land Registry in connection with registrations and, if relevant to your case, with the Business Authority.

Your personal information may also be shared with doctors if required in connection with the case.

Avanti Law Firm may share your personal information with its partners and data processors if this is purposeful or necessary for handling your case.

You have the right to access the information Avanti Law Firm has registered about you. If you wish, the law firm will provide an electronic copy of the collected data.

You may object to the processing of your data at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, deletion, or restriction of the processing of registered personal information about you.

If you object to Avanti Law Firm’s processing of your information or request deletion or restriction of data necessary for handling the case, cf. section 2, Avanti Law Firm will no longer be able to process the case. It will then be closed and billed.

There may be specific situations under the GDPR where Avanti Law Firm is not required to comply with these rights.

If you wish to (1) access, (2) correct, or delete personal data registered about you with Avanti Law Firm, or (3) restrict the processing of registered data or (4) have other objections, you should contact Avanti Law Firm at bs@avantiadvokatfirma.dk or by phone at +45 22 27 25 44.
