- criminal record, offenses or convictions
- data of persons under the age of 16 years
- personal data which display political views or the membership of a trade union or data related to a person's sexual behaviour or sexual orientation.
The processing of this data is necessary to bring, pursue or substantiate a legal action, in the context of the consultation or assistance agreement concluded with you.
For what purpose and on what basis do we process personal data
TBA Advocaten processes your personal data for the following purposes:
1. To meet the anti-money laundering obligation that TBA Advocaten has (see on this matter http://www.tba.be/nl/witwaswetgeving)
If the engagement you wish to entrust to us falls within the scope of the money laundering law (see the link above), we are required to identify our clients and to request, verify and preserve a number of documents as evidence of that identity by means of a copy of your ID card. We shall also have to ask you about the provenance of funds or assets.
In this context, we must collect (and verify) the following personal data):
o If you are a natural person: your last name, first name, date and place of birth and, as far as possible, your address;
o If the client is a company: the list of directors being a natural person.
2. For the performance of our consultation or assistance agreement.
For this reason, we process your last name, first name, phone, address and e-mail address, so that we can remain in touch and notify you about the status of your case in a thorough manner.
For the processing of (possible) payments we need your bank account number.
We only process financial data if this proves to be absolutely necessary for conducting proceedings or for billing purposes.
3. For purposes of representing the legitimate interests of TBA Advocaten.
For this reason, we process your gender in order make a correct form of address possible.
Automated decision-making
TBA Lawyers shall not make decisions by means of automated processing, regarding matters that may have significant consequences for people.
This concerns decisions that are made by computer programs or systems, without a person (for example an employee of TBA Advocaten) being in between.
How long do we keep personal data
TBA Advocaten does not keep your personal data longer than is strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data is being collected.
Your data shall be kept, while respecting the retention limits principle, or a period of five years after the termination of our agreement. This period is a legal minimum period. Afterwards, this data shall be destroyed.
Sharing personal data with third parties
TBA Advocaten shall not sell your data to third parties and shall only provide it if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations and exercise our legal powers or to perform the agreement with you, for example, in the context of possible proceedings.
We are concluding a data processing agreement with companies that process your data on our behalf to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data.
TBA Advocaten remains responsible for this data processing.
