Ordinarily, you will have provided any such data to us. But in some cases, we may collect data about you from a third-party source, such as a trade association, professional conference or seminar, or other circumstance in connection with our ordinary professional activities.

How We Share Personal Data
Irrespective of how we obtain your personal data, it may be shared among all O’Neal Webster offices.

From time to time we may need to transfer personal data to third parties, for example (but not limited to) cloud-based storage providers or other counsel, accountants, and third parties involved in your matters. Where we share or transfer your personal data, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure its integrity and protection.

How We Use Personal Data
Whether we receive your personal data directly from you or from a third-party source, we will only use your personal data in connection with our ordinary professional activities or the fulfillment of our legal or regulatory obligations. As such, we may add your details to our contact database for the following uses:

  • Providing legal advice or other services to our clients and contacts
  • Distributing relevant marketing information where O’Neal Webster has a legitimate interest or where you have expressly consented to us doing so
  • Managing our business relationship with you or your organization, whether in connection with the provision or procurement of services or as your employer or former employer, including processing payments, accounting, auditing, billing and collection, circulating terms and conditions of engagement, and related support services
  • Acting in compliance with our legal obligations, including with respect to anti-money laundering and sanctions checks
  • Managing and securing the access to our offices, systems, and online platforms
  • Complying with court orders and other legal and regulatory requirements
  • For any purpose for which you provided the personal data to O’Neal Webster

Additional purposes for which we may process your personal data include:

Personal data may be stored on our own technology systems, those of our vendors, or in paper files.

How We Retain Personal Data
We will delete your personal data when it is no longer reasonably required for the uses stated above or when you withdraw your consent (where applicable), provided that we are not legally required or otherwise permitted to continue to hold such data. We may retain your personal data for an additional period to the extent deletion would require us to overwrite our automated disaster recovery backup systems, or to the extent we deem it necessary to assert or defend legal claims during any relevant retention period, or for regulatory or insurance-related reason.

Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data
In addition to your rights under applicable data protection legislation and where we are permitted or required by applicable law and regulation and by our professional obligations, we will provide you, upon request, with a copy of your personal data, correct any errors identified by you, or erase your personal data from our systems, notwithstanding a deletion that would require us to overwrite critical disaster recovery backup systems.

Except as set forth above, we will not use your data for any automated decision making or any profiling and you have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with supervisory authorities regarding the processing of your personal data.
