2. What information do we collect?
We may collect your name, email address, telephone number and the information you provide in an enquiry or subsequent communication. The website and its service providers may also process technical information such as IP address, browser and device information, access times and security logs.
Please do not submit passports, national identification numbers, health information or other confidential material through the contact form. We will agree an appropriate method for transferring sensitive documents where required.
3. Why do we use personal data?
- to respond to enquiries and assess whether we can assist;

- to provide legal services and communicate with clients;
- to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting and professional obligations; and
- to maintain the security and proper operation of the website and our systems.
Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the firm, or consent where applicable.
4. Who receives the information?
Personal data may be processed by service providers supporting our hosting, email, document management, communications and information security. It may also be disclosed to courts, public authorities, professional advisers or other recipients where this is necessary for legal services, required by law or authorised by the client.
Where a service provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area, we use an applicable legal transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards.
5. How long do we keep personal data?
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, accounting and professional obligations. The retention period depends on whether an enquiry develops into a client matter and on the nature of the relevant records.
6. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing or data portability, and you may object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier processing.
To exercise your rights, contact us at legaliceland@legaliceland.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the Icelandic Data Protection Authority, Persónuvernd.
