Processing personal data in conjunction with assignments. Advokatbyrån Hallgren & Partners is the personal data controller for the personal data regarding contact persons that we retain in conjunction with assignments or that is otherwise processed when the assignment is prepared or administered. You are not obliged to supply personal data to us, but without it we cannot undertake an assignment because we cannot make the necessary misconduct and money laundering checks. As regards assignments received via the Court or other Authorities we may process personal data about you that is obtained via the court/authorities or that otherwise needs to retrieved for execution of the assignment. We process the data to make the compulsory misconduct and (where relevant) money laundering checks, carry out and administer the assignment, to protect your interests, for accounting or invoicing purposes. This data is processed in accordance with article 6 of the GDPR. Personal data may be transferred to other companies that collaborate with Hallgren & Partners for the purpose of making misconduct and money laundering checks, for information and knowledge exchange and for resource allocation. We will not disclose personal data to third parties other in cases where (i) there is special agreement between the Law firm and you, (ii) it is necessary within the frame of a specific assignment to protect your rights, (iii) it is necessary in order to fulfil the legal requirements or fulfil an official decision or decision by the court, or (iv) we engage an external service supplier to carry out an assignment on our behalf. The data may be submitted to courts, authorities, counter-parties and counter-party’s representatives if it is necessary in order to protect your rights. We are obliged to save personal data, in accordance with the Code of Professional Conduct for Members of the Swedish Bar Association, for a period of ten years from the conclusion of the case, or a longer period required by the nature of the case.

If you are not satisfied with our processing you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which in Sweden is Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection. You may also refer it to the supervisory authority in the country in which you reside or work. We may process your personal data both within and outside the EU/EEA. Where Hallgren & Partners processes your personal data, for example by sending your personal data to a counter-party outside the EU/EEA, we will take the necessary measures to ensure that such a transfer occurs legally and that the data remains protected. Hallgren & Partners are data controllers for the personal data that the bankruptcy trustees at Hallgren & Partners process in the role of trustee. The Bankruptcy trustee can also process personal data within the framework of the bankruptcy estate’s operation at which point the bankruptcy estate is the personal data controller. There can therefore be two personal data controllers in bankruptcy situations.
