The Attorney is bound by professional secrecy under the Act on the Legal Profession. All information you entrust to her is treated as strictly confidential.

2. What personal data we process

• information about your case: description of the accident, information from the police and criminal file, correspondence with the insurer and other parties,
• health data (special category of personal data): medical reports, expert reports, information on sick leave and, for bereaved relatives, information about the deceased and your relationship with them,
• information on income and expenses needed to calculate your claims (e.g. loss of earnings, medical expenses),
• website data: IP address, browser and device information and how you use the website (only to the extent permitted by your cookie settings, see section 6).

3. Purposes and legal bases of processing

Enquiries and case assessment

If you contact us via the website form, by e-mail, by phone or via WhatsApp, we process the information you provide in order to assess your case and reply to you. The legal basis is taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Health data you include in your description are processed because they are necessary for the establishment and exercise of your legal claims (Art. 9(2)(f) GDPR).

Provision of legal services

Once a contract is concluded, we process personal data to perform the contract for legal services (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to comply with the Attorney’s legal obligations, in particular under the Act on the Legal Profession, the professional rules of the Czech Bar Association and accounting and tax legislation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). Health data are processed because they are necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of your legal claims (Art. 9(2)(f) GDPR).

Operation and security of the website

Technical data necessary for the website to function and to protect the form against spam and misuse are processed on the basis of the controller’s legitimate interest in operating the website securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Analytics and marketing

Analytics and marketing cookies are used only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw or change your consent at any time in the cookie settings on the website.

Protection of legal claims

To the extent necessary, we may also process data to protect the Attorney’s own legal claims (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. How long we keep your data

• enquiries that did not lead to a contract: for no longer than 1 year from the last contact,
• client documentation and file: for the period required by the Act on the Legal Profession and the professional rules, at least 5 years from the end of the legal services, or longer if required by law,
• accounting and tax documents: for the period required by accounting and tax legislation (usually 10 years),
• data processed on the basis of consent (cookies): until consent is withdrawn, at most for the cookie lifetime stated in the cookie settings.

5. Who we share your data with

Personal data are processed primarily by the Attorney and her team (trainee attorneys and employees), all of whom are bound by confidentiality. We share data with other recipients only to the extent necessary:

• when handling your case: insurers, courts, the police and criminal justice authorities, the Czech Insurers’ Bureau (Česká kancelář pojistitelů), court-certified experts, translators and interpreters, substitute attorneys and, for accidents abroad, cooperating attorneys in the country of the accident,
• service providers who process data on our behalf as processors: our web hosting provider, Microsoft (e-mail and Microsoft 365 office services), Google (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, reCAPTCHA), Seznam.cz (conversion tracking and Sklik advertising), Usercentrics / Cybot (Cookiebot consent management) and Trustindex (display of Google reviews),
• if you contact us via WhatsApp, data about the communication are also processed by Meta (WhatsApp) under its own terms.

The Attorney will refuse requests from third parties (e.g. the opposing party or its representatives) for your personal data, unless the law provides otherwise.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses necessary cookies without which it cannot function and, with your consent, analytics and marketing cookies (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Seznam Sklik). An overview of the cookies, their purpose and lifetime is available on the Cookies page, where you can also change or withdraw your consent at any time.

The form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which processes information about your device and behaviour on the page in order to detect automated bots. When reviews are displayed, images may be loaded from Google servers.

7. Transfers outside the EU

Some service providers (in particular Google and Microsoft) may also process data in the United States. Such transfers are based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. For accidents outside the European Union, it may be necessary to transfer data to a cooperating attorney or insurer in the country of the accident, solely to the extent necessary to pursue your claims (Art. 49(1)(e) GDPR).

8. Your rights

• the right of access to your personal data,
• the right to rectification or completion of inaccurate data,
• the right to erasure, unless a statutory retention obligation or the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims prevents it,
• the right to restriction of processing,
• the right to data portability, where processing is based on a contract or consent and is carried out by automated means,
• the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest,
• the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal,
• the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů), Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, www.uoou.cz.

You can exercise your rights by e-mail or in writing using the contact details in section 1. Please note that some rights may be limited by the Attorney’s duty of confidentiality and other obligations under the Act on the Legal Profession.

Providing personal data is voluntary. However, without the data necessary to conclude and perform the contract, the Attorney cannot provide legal services.

9. Final provisions

The Attorney does not use automated decision-making or profiling that would have legal effects on you.
