Poggia Bruttin Nobari (“PBN”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what personal data we collect through this website, why we process it, how we protect it, and the rights you have. It is intended to comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who we are
Poggia Bruttin Nobari is a law firm based at Place de la Taconnerie 10, 1204 Geneva, Switzerland. We are the controller responsible for the personal data processed through this website. For any privacy question or request, you can reach us by post at the above address, by telephone on +41 22 321 55 57, or by e-mail at office@lexpb.ch.
Personal data we collect
We collect: (a) the information you submit through our contact form, such as your name, company, country, e-mail address, telephone number and the content of your message; (b) any information you choose to send us by e-mail; and (c) technical and usage data automatically generated when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed and the date and time of access. We do not knowingly collect special categories of data through this website, and we ask that you do not send confidential or sensitive information through the contact form.
Why we use your data and our legal basis
We process your data to respond to your enquiry and to take steps at your request before any engagement; to provide and administer our legal services where you become a client; to operate, secure and improve this website; and to comply with our legal and professional obligations. Depending on the case, our legal basis is your consent, the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, our legitimate interest in running our firm and website, or compliance with a legal obligation.
Cookies
This website sets a single, strictly necessary cookie, used solely to remember that you have seen our cookie notice. We do not use analytics or marketing cookies. Full details are set out in our Cookie Policy.
Hosting and service providers
This website is hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure (Firebase App Hosting), with website data stored in Zurich, Switzerland. We may also use carefully selected providers for e-mail, IT and security services. These providers act as our processors, may only process data on our instructions, and are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
International data transfers
Some of our service providers may store or process data outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where this happens, we ensure an adequate level of protection through recognised safeguards, such as an adequacy decision or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses together with any additional measures required.
How long we keep your data
We keep enquiry data only as long as necessary to deal with your request and, if no engagement follows, for a reasonable period afterwards. Client and matter records are retained for the periods required by our professional, regulatory and legal obligations. Technical and log data are kept for a limited period for security and operational purposes.
Data security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. As a law firm, the information our clients entrust to us is also protected by lawyer-client privilege.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access your personal data and to obtain a copy, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request deletion, to restrict or object to certain processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at office@lexpb.ch. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Supervisory authorities
If you have a concern, we encourage you to contact us first. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); in the EU/EEA, the data protection authority of your country of residence.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The current version is the one published on this page. Please review it periodically.
