Data Processing Basis
As a law firm, confidentiality is central to everything we do. All information you share with us, in the course of seeking or receiving legal advice, is protected by law as attorney-client privilege. We will take every reasonable step to keep your data secret, except as may be required by law and unless you clearly agree otherwise. Our confidentiality obligations continue after our matter for you has completed or after our professional relationship has ceased.
Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidential Matters
Isabelle Rostaing-Tayard Avocats Lyon does not sell, rent, or distribute your data to third parties for commercial purposes. We may share your information with trusted third parties under the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We use service providers to assist us in the conduct of our business (e.g., secure cloud storage, accounting software, or IT support). These companies are required to enter into agreed confidentiality undertakings.
- The legal system: In the event that a court order, request from a competent legal authority, or need-driven regulations obliges us to disclose the required information.
- With your explicit consent: If a referral (or cross-border referral) to external experts (lawyers, auditors, or other professionals) is requested or sought, we will ask and obtain your written consent before sharing any information.
All third parties are pre-screened and required to comply with the same privacy and security standards as us.
Disclosure to Third Parties
We employ a full spectrum of data security measures to keep your information safe from being accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by unauthorized individuals. These include:
- Physical Security: Locked offices and secure contents; restricted access to confidential files.
- Technological Security: Encrypted emails, firewalls, password protection, and periodic security audits.
- Staff Training: All employees are trained on an ongoing basis in data protection, confidentiality, and other legal obligations.
- Data Minimization and Disposal: We store only that information which is necessary for an identified legal matter; when our business no longer needs the data, we delete or anonymize it.
Notwithstanding our reasonable efforts, no transmission or storage system can ever be guaranteed to be totally secure; we do our utmost, however, to maintain the highest data protection standards.
Data Protection Measures
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we obtained such data, to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.
