Some examples of personal data are: name, first name, personal numeric code, date of birth, address, email address, telephone number, bank data, fax, serial number and ID/passport, online identifiers (such as IP or cookie ID).

4. What kind of information do we collect from you

Rocket Media communication collects personal data from you in two ways:

1. Directly and voluntarily: when you call us or text us, messages on Facebook or LinkedIn or email and when you comment on our articles

When you contact us directly, we will have access to your email address and/or phone number, as well as any other information concerning your legal situation and which you voluntarily provide to us.

Also, when you comment on our articles, we will have information about your email address, IP and any personal information concerning your legal situation.

2. Indirectly and automatically: when browsing the site, we store information about cookie ID, but only about those without which our site cannot function.

Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential in providing the information you need when you access our website, and without them, the site cannot work.

It is important to know that an “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which you access the Internet. The cookie is installed by request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive). A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or the value of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver. Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

You can adjust the privacy settings in the browser you use to block all cookies. However, it’s important to know that such a blocking could seriously affect your browsing experience on this site because the site might not work properly.

Non-necessary cookies Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies. It is mandatory to procure user consent prior to running these cookies on your website.

This website uses cookies for pseudonymous range measurement, which are transferred to the user’s browser either from our server or the server of a third party. Cookies are small files which are stored on your terminal device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your terminal device for range measurement, you can object to the use of these files at the pop-up page that appears in your entrance to our website.

5. What is the purpose for which we collect and process this data

We collect and process your data for:

1. When you contact us directly with various questions or requests, prior to the conclusion of a contract (when you call us or text us, messages on Facebook or LinkedIn or email and when you comment on our articles) we process your data to answer your questions and requests and to take the necessary steps to conclude a legal aid contract.

2. When we ask you for additional information to pay for our services, such as tax information, we do so that we can issue you an invoice and subsequently a receipt, and we ask for this information to comply with the legal requirements for the payment of our fee.

3. When you browse the site and store information about cookie ID (but only about those without which our site cannot work), we process this data so that we can provide you with the information you need about our services, the type of cases we have experience and our contact details.

6. What is the legal basis for processing your data

When you contact us directly with various questions or requests, prior to the conclusion of a contract (when you call us or text us, text messages on Facebook or LinkedIn or email and when you comment on our articles) we process your data to answer your questions and requests and to take the necessary steps to enter into a legal aid contract.

As a result, the legal basis is the entry into a contract and the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take the necessary steps, at your request, before the conclusion of a services contract. This basis for processing is laid down in Article 6(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1493/1999. 2016/679.

Because we need your data to take the necessary steps to enter into a services contract, the law states that it is not necessary to ask your express consent for the processing of this data.

You may refuse to provide us with your personal data. However, your refusal to provide the information necessary to contact you or to carry out a analysis in order to conclude with the kind of services contract may result in the termination of our services due to the inability to provide you with the services for which data processing is required.

When, following the signing of a consulting or marketing services contract, we will ask you for additional information to pay for our services, such as tax information, the legal basis for the processing is our obligation to comply with our legal requirements. This basis is laid down in Article 6(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1493/1999. 2016/679.

Your refusal to provide this data may, where appropriate, make it impossible to provide you with the services for which data processing is mandatory (e.g. billing is mandatory when we deliver a legal aid service).

When we collect information about cookie ID (necessary for the operation of the site), the legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest in providing you with the information you need about our services. This basis is laid down in Article 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) No 1493/1999. 2016/679.

7. How to ensure the security of your data

We will process your data securely, apply and maintain appropriate technical measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction or loss, alteration, disclosure or unauthorized access. The data you transmit is stored on electronic devices that have a password installed firewall, and when you send us documents, it is stored in a physical format in our office that receives adequate security and in our office’back-up server that benefits from security protocols appropriate to GDPR.

8. How long do we keep your data

When you contact us directly, we store your data for a period of 5 years after the last interaction (last email sent, last phone call, etc.).

For the automatic data we collect, we store it for 5 years after the last visit to our website.

When we conclude a services contract, the period during which we store the data is usually 5 years from the date of completion of the activities in the file, this period may still change depending on the evolution of your file.

9. To whom we disclose your data and why

We may disclose your personal data to our agents, suppliers or service providers performing functions on our behalf (e.g. in the case of storing information on the server – the company that stores this information on our behalf, in the case of sending an envelope to you – the courier company, in the case of billing data – to the accounting company or the authorized accountant with whom we work).

We may also disclose your data to contractual partners or to the courts and other public authorities.

We may also transfer the data to public authorities and institutions, where their activity involves knowledge of such data, where such transfer is necessary in order to respond to a complaint, to exercise a legitimate interest or to respond in a mandatory legal procedure.

10. Information on data transfer outside the European Union

We do not transfer your information outside the European Union unless you request it to fulfil the subject matter of the legal aid contract.
