Unless it is necessary to retain the information for a longer period for evidentiary purposes in the event that our liability is engaged in any manner whatsoever, your information will be retained as follows:

We take all appropriate precautions to safeguard the security of the information entrusted to us and, in particular, to prevent it from being altered, damaged or accessed by unauthorised third parties.

In accordance with applicable regulations, we will notify any personal data breach under the conditions set out by the relevant legal provisions.

We make every effort to keep your data accurate and up to date. If any information concerning you changes (for example, if your contact details are modified), it is your responsibility to inform us.

In accordance with applicable regulations and under the supervision of the CNIL, you have the following rights:

• to request access to the data concerning you, as well as its rectification or deletion (rights of access, rectification and erasure);

Where the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise these rights, please send us an email at the following address: contact|@|withlaw-avocats.fr. In order to ensure that we do not disclose personal data to anyone other than the individual to whom it relates, proof of identity may be requested.
