  1. PRINCIPLES OF PROCESSING

We process personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently, for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.

We process only personal data that are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the particular purpose. We endeavour to ensure that personal data are accurate and kept up to date and retain them only for as long as necessary or required by law.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, loss, destruction, damage or unauthorised disclosure.

As a legal practice, we are additionally bound by statutory and professional duties of attorney-client confidentiality and professional secrecy, in accordance with the laws and professional rules governing the legal profession.

Please do not provide more personal data through the contact form than is necessary for a preliminary understanding of your legal matter.

Submitting an enquiry, information or documentation to the Law Firm does not, in itself, establish an attorney-client relationship and does not mean that an engagement has been accepted.

We may obtain such data from the client, the data subject, an opposing party, other participants in proceedings, courts and other authorities, public registers and records, publicly available sources or other lawful sources.

  1. SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA AND DATA RELATING TO CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS AND OFFENCES

The nature of legal practice may require the processing of special categories of personal data, including data revealing:

  • trade union membership;
  • genetic data;
  • biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person;

We process such data only where, in addition to an appropriate legal basis for processing, one of the specific conditions prescribed by applicable law for the processing of such categories of data is satisfied.

In the context of legal practice, such processing may in particular be necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, in accordance with applicable law.

We process personal data relating to criminal convictions, offences and security measures only under the conditions prescribed by law, under the supervision of a competent authority or, where processing is authorised by law, subject to appropriate specific safeguards for the rights and freedoms of the data subject.

  1. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

5.1. Operation and security of the website

Technical data necessary for the operation, maintenance and protection of the website may be processed on the basis of the controller’s legitimate interest in ensuring the reliability, integrity and security of the website and information systems.

Where processing is based on legitimate interests, such processing is carried out only where it is necessary for the pursuit of those interests and where such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

  • obtaining a preliminary understanding of a legal matter;
  • conducting potential conflict-of-interest checks;

Where a natural person contacts us with a view to potentially entering into an agreement for legal services, the legal basis for processing may be taking steps at the request of that person prior to entering into a contract.

Where an individual contacts us on behalf of a company, organisation or another person, the processing of that individual’s business contact details may be based on our legitimate interest in establishing and managing a professional relationship.

  • representation before courts, arbitration tribunals, administrative authorities and other institutions;
  • drafting legal documents;
  • conducting negotiations;
  • carrying out transactions;
  • conducting legal analyses;
  • acting on clients’ instructions;
  • other activities in connection with the provision of legal assistance.

The applicable legal basis depends on the particular relationship and may include performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, legitimate interests or another legal basis provided for by applicable law.

5.4. Statutory and professional obligations

We may process personal data in order to comply with obligations arising from laws and professional rules governing:

  • the legal profession;

  • compliance with binding requests from competent authorities.

We may process personal data where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, including in court, arbitration, administrative, enforcement and other proceedings.

5.6. Consent

Where consent is required for a particular processing activity, we process personal data only within the scope of the purpose for which consent has been given.

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to its withdrawal.

  1. GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND ANALYTICS COOKIES

The website www.law-firm.rs uses Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) for statistical analysis of website use and for improving its content, structure and functionality.

Google Analytics may process information relating to:

  • pages visited;
  • date and time of the visit;
  • session information;
  • approximate geographical location;
  • device;
  • operating system;
  • web browser;
  • source from which the user accessed the website;
  • interaction with website content.

According to information provided by Google, GA4 does not log or store users’ IP addresses in its Analytics systems, although the IP address is technically used during communication for the processing of requests and the determination of certain information, such as approximate geographical location.

Google Analytics uses, among others, the following cookies:

_ga – used to distinguish users;
ga<container-id> – used to maintain session state.

Google states that the default duration of these cookies may be up to two years, although web browsers and specific settings may further limit that period.

User-level and event-level data in a standard GA4 configuration are retained in accordance with the configuration of the relevant Google Analytics account.

Prior consent

Google Analytics is not necessary for the operation of the website.

Google Analytics tags are not activated before the user gives consent to analytics cookies.

If the user rejects analytics cookies, Google Analytics tags remain blocked and no data are sent to Google Analytics through those tags.

The legal basis for such analytics processing is the user’s consent.

Users may accept or reject analytics cookies and may subsequently change or withdraw their choice through the cookie management mechanism available on the website.

Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect the ability to use the essential functions of the website.

In connection with the use of Google Analytics, certain data may be processed by Google and its affiliated companies. Where the use of this service involves transfers of data to other countries, such transfers are subject to the rules governing international transfers of personal data set out in this Policy.

  1. STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are technically necessary for:

  • operation of the website;
  • maintenance of security;
  • storing users’ cookie preferences;
  • providing a function expressly requested by the user.

Consent is not required for technical storage or access to information where such storage or access is strictly necessary to enable communication or to provide a service expressly requested by the user, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

  1. RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data may be accessed only by persons who require such access for a specific legitimate purpose.

Depending on the particular circumstances, recipients may include:

  • attorneys and trainee attorneys engaged on a matter;

When Google Analytics is used, and subject to the user’s prior consent, certain data may be made available to Google as the provider of the analytics service.

Where a third party processes personal data on behalf of and for the account of the controller, the relationship with such processor is governed in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Any disclosure of data relating to client matters is additionally subject to the rules governing attorney-client confidentiality and professional secrecy.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

Due to the international nature of our legal practice and the use of certain IT and cloud services, personal data may be transferred or made available to recipients outside the Republic of Serbia.

This may include transfers to:

  • foreign clients;
  • law firms in other countries;
  • courts and other authorities;
  • professional advisers;
  • providers of IT and cloud services;
  • other participants in cross-border matters.

Transfers are carried out only in accordance with the requirements of the Serbian Data Protection Law, including transfers to countries or organisations ensuring an adequate level of protection, transfers subject to appropriate safeguards or, where the statutory conditions are satisfied, on the basis of an applicable derogation for a specific situation.

In the context of legal matters, a transfer may in particular be carried out where it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, in accordance with applicable law.

Where the GDPR applies, international transfers of personal data are also carried out in accordance with its requirements.

  1. RETENTION PERIODS

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing, or for any additional period required by law or justified by legitimate legal and professional interests.

When determining retention periods, we take into account in particular:

  • the duration of the client relationship;
  • the duration of the particular matter;
  • statutory and professional document retention obligations;
  • tax and accounting retention periods;
  • anti-money laundering obligations, where applicable;
  • limitation periods;
  • the possibility of establishing or defending legal claims;
  • the need to conduct subsequent conflict-of-interest checks.

Information submitted through an enquiry which does not result in an engagement is retained only for the period reasonably necessary to process and document the enquiry, conduct conflict-of-interest checks and protect potential legal interests.

Data collected through Google Analytics are retained in accordance with the settings of the Google Analytics account and the rules applicable to the relevant category of data.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data are deleted, securely destroyed, anonymised or retained further only where an appropriate legal basis exists.

  1. DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • unauthorised disclosure;
  • alteration;
  • loss;
  • destruction;
  • other forms of unlawful processing.

Access to personal data is restricted to persons who require such access for the performance of relevant professional or operational duties and who are subject to confidentiality obligations.

No electronic system can guarantee absolute security; however, we adapt our security measures to the nature of the personal data, the manner of processing and the assessed level of risk.

  1. OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

In certain circumstances, the provision of personal data may be required by law or contract or may be necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to provide legal services.

If you do not provide personal data necessary for a particular purpose, we may be unable to accept an engagement, respond to a particular request or provide the requested legal services.

  1. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

Subject to the conditions prescribed by the Serbian Data Protection Law and other applicable legislation, you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data and obtain information concerning their processing;
  • obtain a copy of the personal data being processed;
  • request rectification of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete personal data;
  • request erasure of personal data where the statutory conditions are satisfied;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • exercise the right to data portability where the statutory conditions are satisfied;
  • object to certain types of processing;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing where the statutory conditions are satisfied;
  • lodge a complaint with the Commissioner.

These rights are not absolute.

Their exercise may be restricted where processing is necessary for:

  • compliance with a statutory or professional obligation;
  • protection of the rights and freedoms of other persons;
  • preservation of attorney-client confidentiality;
  • the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • another purpose permitted by law.

Requests for the exercise of data subject rights may be submitted to [email protected].

For the purpose of protecting personal data, we may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify the identity of the person making the request.

We will respond to a request without undue delay and no later than within the period prescribed by law. Under the Serbian Data Protection Law, that period is generally 30 days from receipt of the request, and may be extended by a further 60 days where necessary due to the complexity or number of requests, in which case the data subject will be informed accordingly within the applicable statutory period.

  1. RIGHT TO OBJECT

Where processing is based on legitimate interests, the data subject has the right to object at any time to such processing on grounds relating to his or her particular situation.

In such circumstances, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights or freedoms of the data subject, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  1. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

We do not make decisions producing legal effects concerning a natural person, or similarly significantly affecting that person, based solely on automated processing of personal data, including profiling.

Google Analytics is used solely for statistical analysis of website use and not for making decisions concerning individual visitors which produce legal or similarly significant effects.

  1. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to third-party websites.

We do not control how such third parties process personal data, and this Policy does not apply to their websites.

We recommend reviewing the applicable privacy policy before using any third-party website accessed through a link on our website.

11120 Belgrade
Republic of Serbia

Telephone: +381 11 3408 900
