Personal data and their processing.

 

Personal data means information about an identified or identifiable natural person. The processing of personal data is every action on personal data, irrespective of whether it is done in an automated manner or not, e.g. collecting, storing, fixing, ordering, modifying, browsing, using, sharing, limiting, deleting or destroying. This privacy policy applies to all cases in which METFENCE is the administrator of personal data and processes personal data. This applies to both cases in which the administrator processes personal data obtained directly from the data subject, as well as cases in which we have collected personal data from other sources.

 

The scope of personal data processed

 

We collect and process only personal data of our customers and users of our services, which are necessary for the implementation of legal services and other services provided by Metfence. In the case of data processing based on the legitimate interest of the administrator, we try to analyze and balance our interest and potential impact on the data subject and the rights of that person under the provisions on the protection of personal data. We do not process personal data based on our legitimate interest if we come to the conclusion that the impact on the data subject would prevail over our interests.

 

Personal data of clients and potential clients.

 

The administrator processes personal data of its clients and potential clients, ie people who ask for the offer of products or services provided by Metfence. Personal data of clients and potential clients are processed in paper form and in IT systems such as CRM, accounting programs, programs for handling cases managed by law firms and programs for electronic mail services.

The data of persons who are not natural persons as well as representatives and employees of these persons may also be collected. The collected personal data includes, among others: name and surname, employer’s name, position of the contact person, telephone number, e-mail address or other business contact details. In addition, in the case of customers, we also process payment data, including data necessary to make online payments such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers.
