For information on the processing of personal data in connection with recruitment, please see karriar.kilpatrick.se\/data-privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton Advokat KB (\u201cwe\u201d or \u201cus\u201d) is the controller of the personal data we receive:<\/p>\n You are not required to provide personal data to us. However, if you do not provide such data, we may be unable to accept an engagement, as we cannot carry out the necessary conflict of interest and anti-money laundering checks. The same applies to suppliers and other business partners, as we may then be unable to enter into or fulfil contracts. We may also be unable to send you newsletters or offer you a place at our events. You can visit our website without having to provide any personal data or accept cookies. For information on how we use cookies, see www.kilpatrick.se\/cookies\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n In connection with assignments, we process contact details, ID documents, and other personal data related to the assignment that clients, counterparties, or other individuals linked to the assignment provide to us. If relevant to the assignment, we may in rare cases process so called sensitive personal data or data relating to criminal convictions and offences. If you represent a supplier or business partner, we process personal data that we receive from the organization you represent (such as contact details and information about our business relationship). We may also obtain personal data from private or public registers or other sources.<\/p>\n We also process personal data that you provide when communicating with us via email or other channels. Furthermore, we process personal data when you sign up for newsletters, seminars, or other events (such as contact details and information about our business relationship). During seminars or other events, we may take photographs or record videos for marketing purposes.<\/p>\n Personal data obtained in connection with assignments is processed to carry out conflict of interest and anti-money laundering checks, to perform and administer the assignment, to protect our clients\u2019 interests, and for accounting and billing purposes. Such processing is based on our need to fulfil contracts with our clients and on our legitimate interest in providing legal services, as well as to comply with our legal obligations. If you represent a supplier or business partner, we process your personal data to perform our contract with you or with the organization you represent, to comply with our legal obligations, and based on our legitimate interest in maintaining our business relationships. Where applicable, we also process personal data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.<\/p>\n In addition, personal data is used for business and method development, market analysis, statistics, and risk management. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in developing and marketing our business and communicating with our contacts.<\/p>\n Personal data may be transferred between our different group or sister companies for the purpose of performing conflict of interest and anti-money laundering checks, exchanging information and knowledge, and allocating resources. We do not disclose personal data to third parties except in cases where (i) it has been specifically agreed between you and us, (ii) it is necessary within the framework of a particular assignment to protect our clients\u2019 rights and interests (e.g., to a court, arbitral tribunal, authority, counterparty, opposing counsel, insurer, or auditor), (iii) it is required to protect legal interests, (iv) it is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or comply with a decision by an authority or court, or (v) we engage external service providers performing tasks on our behalf.<\/p>\n We may also share personal data on social media to promote our business, for example in connection with training sessions and other events.<\/p>\n As we are an international law firm, personal data may be transferred to the United States using so called standard contractual clauses, which ensure adequate protection of personal data.<\/p>\n Personal data is stored in accordance with our legal obligations and the Swedish Bar Association\u2019s Guiding Rules on Professional Conduct (in the latter case, for ten years from the date the assignment was completed, or longer if required by the nature of the assignment).<\/p>\n Data processed for the purpose of developing, analyzing, and marketing our business is retained as long as it remains relevant for that purpose. If the processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as described below. If you unsubscribe from newsletters or similar communications, your data will no longer be stored for that purpose.<\/p>\n You have the right to request, free of charge, information from us about the use of personal data relating to you. Upon your request, or on our own initiative, we will rectify or delete incorrect data or restrict the processing of such data. In certain cases, for example where processing is based on our legitimate interest, you have the right to object to the processing. You also have the right to request that your data not be processed for direct marketing purposes. In certain cases, you have the right to receive your personal data in a machine-readable format or, if technically feasible, to have it transferred to another controller. If you are dissatisfied with our processing of your personal data, you may file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In Sweden, this is the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) (www.imy.se<\/a>). You may also contact the supervisory authority in the country where you live or work.<\/p>\n Please note that the rights described above may be limited due to the confidentiality obligations imposed on us by the Swedish Bar Association and other applicable laws and regulations. We are, for example, required to retain certain personal data for a specific period to comply with legal requirements related to accounting, anti\u2013money laundering and fraud prevention, or limitation rules.<\/p>\n We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version is always available on our website.<\/p>\n1. How we process personal data<\/h3>\n
