Basis

We process PII based on the following legal bases:

  • legal obligation: required to comply with legal obligations to which All Things Legal is bound, for example tax and administrative obligations, requirements of the Dutch Bar Association
  • legitimate interest: necessary to look after the interests of All Things Legal. These are:
    • the importance of All Things Legal for maintaining a lasting relationship with you as a customer, including by using a newsletter or blog or social media or the website;
    • keeping a customer administration;
    • to represent All Things Legal in a complaint made by you.

In specific cases we will need your consent to process your personal data. Insofar as the processing of your PII is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. The withdrawal of your permission is effective from the moment of withdrawal. Withdrawal therefore does not affect the legitimacy of the processing before the withdrawn permission.

We can not only obtain your PII because you provide it to us or visit our website, but also through public sources, in particular the Chamber of Commerce's trade register or social media in which you set a public profile or because of a connection made between you and All Things Legal.
