You delegate an important part of your business operations to us. To make this possible, you provide us with personal data. For example, when you send us documents, when you call us, e-mail us, write us a letter, visit us or talk to an adviser. We therefore consider it important that you know that you can trust us to handle your (personal) data carefully and confidentially. In this statement we explain exactly how we do this.
What are personal data?
Personal data is any information about an identified or identifiable natural person. This means that information is either directly about someone or can be traced back to that person. That it must be a natural person means that data from deceased individuals or from organizations is not personal data. Examples of personal data include: your name, address and place of residence. Your telephone number and zip codes with house number are also personal data. Sensitive data such as someone’s race, religion or data about your health are also called special personal data. These need extra protection.
What do we use your personal data for?
The personal data you have provided to us will only be processed for the following purposes:
- To do the agreed work as well, efficiently and effectively as possible;
- to contact you, for the purpose of our services;
- to send you a newsletter;
- for our marketing purposes.
We only use the personal data for these purposes and never disclose the personal data to third parties without your consent or other basis. If we do pass on the data with consent or another basis, we impose the same protection and security measures on the third party as we apply ourselves.
The processing takes place on one of the following bases:
(a) the processing is necessary for the conclusion and performance of the contract between you and MCJ Advocatuur;
(b) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.
(c) consent.

How do we handle your personal data?
When processing personal data, MCJ Advocatuur adheres to the rules prescribed by privacy legislation.
