Privacy of every visitor is very important to NAVICUS.LAW. With this Privacy Notice, we want to make you aware of how we collect and process your personal data as a data controller.

Introduction

We process personal data in accordance with all laws that apply to the protection of personal data, including the GDPR, i.e. the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 GDPR (“Data Protection Laws”). In accordance with the Data Protection Laws, those persons whose personal data we process are entitled to obtain information on the personal data we process and to use their rights based on the GDPR as further described in this Privacy Notice.

We do our best to ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully and in a transparent manner, and to ensure that your personal data is safe, accurate and up to date.

You may help us in keeping your personal data up to date by reviewing and updating your contact details as well as your notification preferences. You can do this by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or by post to our registered address: 1, Orlovskaya street, office 31-H, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 191124.

We apply the appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that your personal data is safe with us. These measures include, for example, data processing agreements and non-disclosure agreements that we have concluded with our staff and partners.

Legal basis and purposes for processing your personal data

We use personal data to develop our information services and to provide basic information about us to visitors of our website. To achieve those goals, we act as the data controller, and the processing of personal data is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests and for the fulfilment of our purposes.

You may also give your consent for the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes (for example in relation to e-mail notifications about NAVICUS.LAW events and news in the maritime legal sector).

How do we collect personal data and how do we use it?

We collect personal data that relates to e.g. identification, which includes personal data such as basic identifying information, contact details and professional background information provided to us directly.

We also collect personal data when we manage our promotional activities and communicate with the data subjects for consultation purposes. We collect personal data e.g. in order to send invitations to our events, or to send out newsletters or other news relating to our firm and the maritime legal sector.

We also collect personal data via our website as follows:

Cookies
Our website uses cookies to analyse how the site is used, including the number of visitors, how you found your way to our website and the pages you visit as well as the total time you spend on our website. Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer that allow your computer to be recognised by our website. The cookies on our website may be used by and delivered to you by us or by third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics and Yandex.Metrics. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, and we do not use this data to identify our website visitors even if the technologies used would make such identification possible. You may refuse to accept cookies from our website and delete existing cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. If you wish to do so, please refer to your browser’s user guide to find out how to control cookies by adjusting your browser’s preferences.

As mentioned above, we process personal data we have obtained directly from you. When necessary, we may also collect or update personal data from publicly available sources or from commercial databases.

What types of personal data do we process?

We may process personal data of the following categories:
    • Basic identifying data, including name and contact details (such as email address, telephone number and address); title(s) and association with previous and current employers, such as work tasks and title;
    • Information provided to us for the purposes of attending meetings and events (for example, name, email address, dietary requirements);
    • Information on whether you have consented to or opted out of receiving direct marketing;
    • Automatically collected data, i.e. data collected by our website cookies as specified above and e.g. information about whether you have opened and read an email message we have sent to you.

Where do we store personal data?

We primarily process personal data on servers located in Russia.
However, we may need to transfer your personal data from a location in Russia to a third country. With regard to transfers of personal data to countries where the local data protection legislation does not provide an adequate level of data protection, we will implement appropriate safeguards under the GDPR and the applicable Russian legislation to ensure that your personal data remains protected and secure. Such international transfers of personal data will be based on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. To learn more about the appropriate safeguards we use, please contact us at [email protected].

Will data be transferred or disclosed to third parties?

We will not disclose personal data to any third parties unless we are required to do so under applicable laws.

We use partners and service providers in connection with activities that require the processing of personal data, and as such, personal data will be transferred to and processed by third-party providers (data processors) that provide services to NAVICUS.LAW. All of these partners and third-party service providers must comply with our written data processing agreements, and they must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection of your personal data. Furthermore, they may not process any personal data transferred to them for any other purposes than for providing services to us. The only employees with access to your personal data will be those employees who need to process your personal data.

Retention time

How long we retain specific personal data depends on the personal data concerned and the purposes for its processing. We will retain personal data at least for as long as needed in order to carry out the purposes of processing mentioned above, such as in order to reply to a query or to provide the data subject with notifications and updates.

The retention periods are determined in accordance with the following criteria:

    • Related personal data will be retained for as long as our legitimate interest can reasonably be considered valid. The validity of this legitimate interest is determined by, for example, communications between us and the data subject.
    • Related personal data will be deleted if the data subject withdraws their consent or objects to the processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes.

When your personal data is no longer needed, your personal data will be destroyed in a secure way or irrevocably anonymised.

What are your rights regarding your personal data?

The GDPR ensures that the data subject has a number of rights and that the data subject can exercise these rights in many cases to govern the processing of their personal data. The extent of the data subject’s rights is subject to the legal basis provided for processing the relevant personal data, and the data subject must provide identification in order to exercise the said rights. Where we have reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the natural person making the request referred to below, we may request you to provide additional information that we require to confirm your identity.
