Privacy Notice

Updated: May 27, 2025

Overview

FRANDLaw (“we”, “us”) is the data controller when we provide legal and consulting services and when you use our website. We process personal data in line with the GDPR and applicable Swiss/EU laws to deliver services, manage relationships, run our business, and meet legal duties.

What We Collect

Identity & contact — name, email, phone, role, organisation.
Matter & contractual data — correspondence, contracts, billing, KYC/AML data and conflict checks.
Marketing & preferences — event registrations, newsletter choices.
Website & recruitment — device/usage data from cookies/analytics (if enabled), and CV/application data.

How We Obtain Data

Directly from you or your organisation, via counterparties and other advisors, from public sources and regulators, through our website forms and analytics, and during recruitment.

Why We Use Data (Legal Bases)

Contract — to provide services or take steps at your request.
Legal obligation — e.g., identity checks, record‑keeping, court/authority requirements.
Legitimate interests — client relationship management, service improvement, event invitations; we balance these interests against your rights.
Consent — for optional marketing or analytics; you may withdraw consent at any time.

Cookies & Analytics

Our site (frandlaw.com) may use essential cookies and, with your consent, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand site usage. Analytics data is collected in a pseudonymous manner. You can control cookies via your browser settings or consent choices.

Sharing Your Data

We share personal data only when necessary: with service providers (IT hosting, email, document management), co‑counsel and experts, counterparties and authorities (where required), or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Providers are bound by contracts to protect your data.

Storage & Transfers

Data is generally stored in Switzerland or the EU/EEA. If data is transferred outside these areas, we use appropriate safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

How Long We Keep Data

Matter & client files — typically five years after a matter or relationship ends, or longer if required by law or to protect our rights.
Marketing — until you unsubscribe or object.
Recruitment — six months if not hired, unless you agree to a longer period.

Your Rights

You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your data, and object to processing (including marketing). If processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.
