Privacy policy

Data controller

The data controller is Harold Ferreira, business lawyer (offices in Waterloo and Antwerp). Contact: harold.ferreira@everest-law.com.

Data collected

When you use the contact form, we collect: your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), preferred language, the type and urgency of your matter, the description of your situation and, where applicable, your exchanges with the description assistant.

No data is collected without your knowledge when simply browsing the site.

Purposes and legal bases

Your data is processed to respond to your contact request and assess the handling of your matter (pre-contractual measures, art. 6.1.b GDPR), based on the consent you give by submitting the form (art. 6.1.a GDPR).

Description assistant (AI)

The “describe your situation” field offers an optional assistant that helps you structure your request. Your exchanges with this assistant are processed by Anthropic (Claude API), solely to ask clarifying questions and produce a summary sent to Mr Ferreira with your request. Anthropic does not use this data to train its models.

The assistant provides no legal advice. Please share only the information needed to understand your request.

Recipients and processors

Your data is intended exclusively for Mr Ferreira. It passes through our technical providers: Vercel (hosting), Resend (email delivery) and Anthropic (description assistant). These providers may be established outside the European Union; transfers are then governed by the safeguards provided for by the GDPR (standard contractual clauses).

Retention period

Contact requests are kept for as long as necessary to process them and follow up on the relationship. If a case is opened, data is then retained in accordance with the professional and legal obligations applicable to lawyers.

Cookies and analytics

The site uses cookieless analytics (Vercel Analytics). If third-party tools requiring cookies were to be activated, a consent banner would allow you to accept or refuse them.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to and port your data. To exercise these rights, write to harold.ferreira@everest-law.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be).
