The personal data that Lexence processes includes name, address, place of residence, bank account number, registration data for seminars, and identification data in the context of client acceptance.
Special personal data
Lexence has a general policy of not processing special personal data. Nevertheless, Lexence’s employees may come into contact with the processing of special personal data in the practice of their profession (for example, as an employment lawyer). In such cases, the provisions of the GDPR will be complied with.

Integrity and confidentiality

Sharing with third parties

Subsidiarity and proportionality
In order to achieve the aim for which the personal data is processed, intrusions of the data subject’s privacy are kept to a minimum. If the data subject’s interests are adversely affected, this may not be disproportionate to the purpose to be served by the processing.
