Legal basis

Under Article 6 of the Law, personal data is processed with the data subject’s consent or in the cases provided by law, such as the performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation or the legitimate interests of the controller. When you contact us of your own accord, the information you send is processed in order to respond to your request.

Sharing of information

Your personal information may be shared only as far as necessary to provide the service, with the following parties:

• Hosting provider (Vercel Inc.): technical records generated when the website is accessed.
• E-mail infrastructure provider (Google Workspace): e-mails you send to info@ozadlegal.com.
• Messaging service (WhatsApp): messages you send via WhatsApp are subject to WhatsApp’s own terms.
• Competent public authorities and courts: where there is a legal obligation or a request from a competent authority.

If a lawyer–client relationship is established, retention periods for client files are determined separately in accordance with legal and professional obligations.
