Personal data processed by Jordan Law
Jordan Law processes personal data that you have provided to Jordan Law as an applicant, as a (potential) client, relationship, supplier or counterparty of Jordan Law. In addition, Jordan Law may process personal data that you have not provided yourself, but that are necessary for the institution, exercise or substantiation of a legal claim. Only personal data that are sufficient, relevant and limited to what is necessary to achieve the stated purposes are processed. Jordan Law does not use the received personal data for purposes other than those for which they were obtained.
This concerns the following personal data:
contact details and other personal data that are necessary to handle your case;
contact details provided during acquisition discussions, introductions, seminars and other events;
personal data that have been made available via public sources or have been obtained from the Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce and from the Land Registry;
personal data in the context of an application, such as your contact details, date of birth, nationality, marital status and other contact details stated in or with your application.
Contact details are understood to mean:
your first and last name;
your address details;
your telephone number;
your e-mail address;
your BSN number;
your V-number;
your gender;
your nationality.
Basis for processing
Jordan Law processes personal data only if and to the extent that at least one of the following conditions is met:
a) the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
d) processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
e) processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
Purpose of processing
Jordan Law processes personal data in order to perform the agreement in which you have commissioned us to provide our legal services. Depending on the content of your assignment/case, personal data and possibly the personal data of others are processed in order to handle your case/assignment. In addition, your data is used to provide you with requested information, to maintain contacts (for example in the context of newsletters and invitations to events), in the context of invoicing, in the context of a job application and in the context of compliance with legal obligations.
When personal data is used for a purpose other than that for which it was obtained, it is re-examined whether there is a legal basis for the processing in question. If this is not the case, permission will be requested (again).
In certain situations, Jordan Law may share your personal data with third parties, for example because this is necessary for the processing of your file (for example in the context of legal proceedings). No personal data is shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
Retention periods
The starting point is that personal data are not stored longer than necessary for the purpose of the processing or to comply with a legal obligation. When the applicable retention period has expired, the relevant data will be destroyed.
Rights of data subjects
Everyone has the right to view, correct or delete their personal data. In addition, they have the right to withdraw any consent for the data processing or to object to the processing of their personal data by Jordan Law. Everyone also has the right to data portability. This means that you can submit a request to us to send the personal data that we process about you in a computer file to you or another organization named by you. Jordan Law will have to ensure in advance that such a request comes from the data subject.
You can send a request for access, correction, deletion, data transfer of your personal data or request for withdrawal of your consent or objection to the processing of your personal data to info@jordanlaw.nl.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the right to have personal data deleted does not apply if the processing is necessary for the institution, exercise or substantiation of a legal claim.
If you believe that Jordan Law is not handling your personal data correctly, we request that you contact us about this. Of course, you also have the option of filing a complaint with the national supervisory authority, the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
Data abroad
If personal data is transferred abroad, it will be checked whether there are sufficient safeguards in the context of the protection of personal data. In this respect, the level of data protection is the same within the EU. Therefore, if personal data is transferred to an organisation within the EU (and the EEA), it is sufficient that the organisation in question complies with the requirements of the GDPR. Separate rules apply to the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU. The main rule that Jordan Law applies in this respect is that personal data may only be transferred to countries with an appropriate level of protection.
Security of personal data
Jordan Law takes the protection of personal data seriously and takes appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorized access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorized modification. In addition to technical measures (system security), this also means that Jordan Law takes organizational measures, including informing its employees about the GDPR, subjecting all its employees to a confidentiality obligation and pursuing a clean-desk policy. The group of people who have access to the data is also kept as limited as possible.
If you have the impression that your data is not properly secured or there are indications of misuse, please contact us.
Communication
When you send us an e-mail or other messages, we may retain those messages. Sometimes we ask you for your personal data that is relevant to the situation in question. This makes it possible to process your questions and answer your requests. The data is stored on JORDAN LAW's own secure servers or those of a third party. We will not combine this data with other personal data that we have.
Cookies
We collect data for research purposes to gain a better understanding of our customers, so that we can tailor our services accordingly.
This website uses “cookies” (text files placed on your computer) to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website can be transferred to JORDAN LAW’s own secure servers or those of a third party.

Processors
A processor within the meaning of the GDPR acts on behalf of the controller when processing personal data, without being under the controller's direct authority. Jordan Law may use processors to process your personal data (such as our ICT service providers). Jordan Law has concluded processor agreements with existing service providers that meet the legal requirements.
Contact details
The controller is Mr. J.S. Jordan, owner of Jordan Law, Carolina van Nassaustraat 185, 2595 SX The Hague. You can reach us on telephone number 070-2092094 or via info@jordanlaw.nl.
