By means of this Privacy Statement, we are implementing the information obligation laid down in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We would be happy to inform you about the way we process your personal data in our office and guarantee your privacy. By using this website, you agree to our privacy and cookie policy.

Which personal data is processed by us?
We process personal data that you have provided on your own initiative, that has been obtained in the context of the service, that has been made known to us by third parties or that has become known to us through public sources. This relates to the following categories of personal data :
1. Personal data provided by you on your own initiative:
- Contactgegevens en overige persoonsgegevens die noodzakelijk zijn ter behandeling van uw zaak. Dit betreffen gegevens zoals uw naam, adres, telefoonnummer en identiteitsdocumenten;
- Contactgegevens en andere persoonsgegevens die zijn ingevuld op contactformulieren of andere webformulieren;
- Contactgegevens verstrekt tijdens kennismakingsgesprekken, events, seminars etc. Dit kunnen bijvoorbeeld gegevens zijn zoals vermeld op door u verstrekte visitekaartjes;
- Overige persoonsgegevens die door u aan ons worden verstrekt.
2. Personal data obtained from other sources:
- Persoonsgegevens die beschikbaar zijn via openbare (zakelijke) sociale media platforms zoals (maar niet beperkt tot) LinkedIn. U kunt in dat kader denken aan namen en con- tactgegevens;
- Persoonsgegevens die verkregen worden uit het Handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel en uit het Kadaster. Dit betreffen bijvoorbeeld KvK nummers en contactgegevens;
- Persoonsgegevens die beschikbaar zijn via openbare zakelijke websites.
For which purpose(s) do we process your personal data?
We process the above-mentioned personal data exclusively for the purposes specified below:
- Het verlenen van juridische diensten, waaronder het voeren van (gerechtelijke) procedures;
- Het naleven van overeenkomsten met onze cliënten, werknemers en leveranciers;
- Advisering, bemiddeling en verwijzing;
- Het innen van declaraties;
- Marketing- en communicatie activiteiten;
- Het voldoen aan onze juridische en wettelijke verplichtingen.
What is the basis for processing your personal data?
We process the above-mentioned personal data exclusively on the basis of the following grounds as referred to in Article 6 of the GDPR:
- wettelijke verplichting;
- uitvoering van een overeenkomst;
- verkregen toestemming van betrokkene(en);
- gerechtvaardigd belang.
Under which circumstances will your personal data be shared with third parties?
We only share your personal data with third parties if and insofar as it is necessary in the context of our services – needless to say, with due observance of the above-mentioned purposes. This includes, for example, conducting an expert investigation or engaging another party on behalf of and on the instructions of DE WIT ADVOCATEN, such as an IT supplier, but also providing your personal data in connection with (legal) proceedings or correspondence with the other party.
In addition, we may provide personal data to a third party, such as a regulator or other body with public authority, insofar as there is a legal obligation to do so.
On our behalf of and on the instructions of DE WIT ADVOCATEN, a processing agreement is concluded with the third party that is processing your personal data, so that this third party is also obliged to comply with the GDPR. Third parties engaged by us that offer services as data controllers are themselves responsible for complying with the GDPR for the (further) processing of your personal data. This could include an accountant, civil-law notary, or another third party engaged to provide a second opinion or an expert report.
How do we guarantee the security of your personal data?
We take technical and organisational measures to protect and secure your personal data. If we are using the services of third parties, we record arrangements about security measures in a processing agreement in order to protect your personal data.
How long do we store your personal data?
We do not store personal data provided to us for longer than is necessary for the purposes of data processing as specified in this Privacy Statement or as required by the legislation and regulations.
What are your privacy rights?
As a data subject, you have a number of rights under the GDPR with regard to personal data that is processed. For example, you have the right to inspect the personal data processed by us, the right to have that personal data adjusted if it is incorrect and the right to request us to delete that personal data.
In addition, you can object to the use of your personal data to send you a newsletter, for example, or in the context of relationship management. In all cases, you can contact us using the contact details specified in this Privacy Statement. You will receive a response from us no later than four weeks after we receive your request.
However, there may be circumstances in which we cannot or cannot fully comply with your request. This includes the duty of confidentiality of lawyers and statutory retention periods.
To ensure that we provide the relevant personal data to the right person on the basis of your (possible) request, we kindly ask you to submit a copy of a valid passport, driving licence or ID card with a shielded passport photograph and citizen service number so that we can verify your identity. We only process requests that relate to your own personal data.
Who is responsible for processing your personal data using social media?

We do not monitor and are not responsible for the processing of your personal data by and through the above-mentioned third parties. The use of these media is therefore at your own risk. Before you use the relevant services of third parties, we recommend that you carefully read the Privacy Statements of the relevant third parties.
