Guiding principles for the processing of personal data

IMS LEGAL seeks to abide by privacy principles related to the notice, choice, transfer, security, data integrity, access and execution of the personal data of its users. Therefore, we are governed by the essence of the following principles:

​

• Notification: we are obliged to provide our users with basic information regarding the processing of their personal information (e.g. type of data collected, the purpose of the treatment).

• Choice: users whose personal data are processed by us, may object to whether the data is communicated to a third party or used for a purpose other than the one collected. We will ask for your express consent before communicating your data to an authorized third party, usually by clicking on an "I accept" box or similar means.

• Security: the collection, processing, maintenance and use of personal data of our users will be carried out under appropriate security measures, taking into account factors such as the nature of such personal data.

• Limitation of purpose for the treatment: the personal data collected should be limited to the relevant purpose of the treatment thereof.

• Access: our users will have the right of access over the processing of their personal data.

• Transfer liability: any transfer or subsequent communication to another person responsible for or in charge of treatment may be given only for our specific and limited purposes, taking into account this Privacy Policy.

• Protection Liability: our authorized third parties must have mechanisms to ensure compliance with security measures regarding the personal data of our users, in at least the same extent as those used by us.

 

Information shared with the client’s consent

We will not share your personal information except with authorized third parties, except in the cases described below or in other parts of this Privacy Policy:

• With consultants and other authorized service providers who need access to such information to perform their work with us;

• With other people who access our SERVICES in accordance with the privacy settings you select;

• In connection with, or during the negotiation, merger, sale of assets, financing or acquisition of all or part of our office;

• To enforce our agreements, policies and terms of use; to protect the security or integrity of our SERVICES; or to protect IMS LEGAL, our users or the public, from illegal activities and other damages.

 

We may also share aggregate, anonymous or unidentifiable information that can not be used to identify you in any way.

 

External web links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include external SERVICES as part of our service portfolio. These third parties may have independent privacy policies. Accordingly, we assume no responsibility for the actions of these third parties, nor for how they collect, use or share your data.

 

Protection of the personal data of the client

IMS LEGAL takes reasonable measures to protect the data from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

 

Means to exercise clients’ rights to personal data

Clients of IMS LEGAL may request the exercise of their rights to: access their personal data; rectify their personal data when it is inaccurate or incomplete; cancel their personal data; oppose for legitimate cause to the processing of their personal data, and/or revoke their consent for the processing of their personal data at any time, in order to stop the use thereof.

​

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is important to note that not in all cases we can meet your request to cancel your personal information, oppose the treatment or revoke your consent, as it is possible that by some legal obligation we require further processing of your personal data.

​

• The name of the client, address and email to communicate the response to your request;

• The documents that prove the identity or, where appropriate, the legal representation of the client;
