5.

Personal data is provided on a voluntary basis but without it, the Firm must not incur or perform any contractual obligations or provide any legal services or act on behalf of or for the data subject without a contract. Therefore, without the personal data, the Firm is not able to and will not perform the above activities.

6.

The personal data retention period is 10 years from the end of the year of termination of the proceedings or handling of the case for which the data was collected. After that period, any paper media (documents) including the data should be collected by the data subject from the Firm at the latest within one month of the date when the Firm notifies the data subject of its readiness to release it – otherwise, the Firm may continue to retain such data with the data subject’s consent and at their expense or destroy it in accordance with personal data protection principles. In particular cases, following previous arrangements, the documents may be collected from the Firm before the end of the period indicated above. The application of the above rules must not violate the obligation of a legal adviser or attorney to keep professional secrecy, which is a priority.
