Privacy and cookie- statement Legal Future

Thank you for taking the time to read our Privacy Statement. This document will explain which personal data Legal Future collects from its clients and for what purpose. Our goal is to handle personal data as safely as possible. This is not only prescribed by law, it is ethically and morally the right thing to do. This document was written thoroughly but also kept as short as possible for readability reasons.

Who is Legal Future

Legal Future is a sole proprietorship, established in the Netherlands, and has been registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 84093072. Although Legal Future works exclusively on a remote basis, the company is located on Bunderstraat 130, 6231 EM Meerssen, Limburg, the Netherlands. This address will also appear as the sender on Legal Future’s invoices. Legal Future focuses exclusively on providing legal services for online companies (B2B).

Personal data

Personal data is according to the GDPR (General Data Potection Regulation) any piece of information that redirects to a particular person. General personal data is for example someone’s name, sex, address and age. Specific personal data relates for instance to race, political party, medical conditions, and so on, and needs special protection.

Legal Future collects general personal data from clients through various means. For example, when customers fill in the contact form, they are asked to leave their name and e-mail address. This makes it possible for Legal Future to reply to the mail and address a particular person with his name. 

When a customer decides to purchase services from Legal Future, they are asked for additional data, which includes but is not limited to:

Name of the company, contact details of company’s representative, Chamber of commerce number, financial information (for billing purposes), address of the company and information on any business activities (to the extent necessary to draft documents and provide legal advice).

In the event that internal (classified) company documents are required for Legal Future in order to provide legal advice or deal with a dispute, Legal Future treats them with the utmost confidentiality and will return them to the client after the agreement has come to an end. This clause is also included in Legal Future’s general terms and conditions.

Purpose of collecting data

The law only allows companies to collect personal data for specific legitimate  purposes and for a specified amount of time. Legal Future only collects personal data with the purpose of serving its clients in the most effective and efficient way and for reaching out to them. Apart from this, Legal Future uses personal data to reach out to its clients for marketing purposes by way of sending news letters or personal ads. Personal data is never shared with third parties without the explicit consent of the client.

Retention period

Legal Future never stores personal data longer than necessary. The law provides several indicators for this period. These include: a) the duration of the agreement between the company and the client, b) the possibility of a claim or lawsuit c) storage prescribed by law for tax or other reasons). Legal Future adheres to these criteria and will only retain personal data for a limited period of time. Clients have the right to access and change the personal data they have provided at all times.
