Data collected

When the website is used, the following data may be collected:

• data voluntarily provided through the website's contact channels (phone, e-mail, WhatsApp): name, contact details and the content of the request;
• browsing data, only if you have consented, collected through the Google Analytics audience measurement tool: pages viewed, type of device and browser, origin of the visit, truncated IP address;

Purposes of processing

This data is used to:

• respond to contact requests and follow up on cases entrusted to the firm;
• ensure the proper functioning, security and improvement of the website;
• compile traffic statistics, with your consent.

Legal basis for processing

The processing of data provided through the contact channels is based on the firm's legitimate interest in responding to the requests it receives and, where applicable, on the pre-contractual steps needed to establish a relationship with a prospective client. The use of non-essential cookies is based on the user's consent.

Retention period

Data relating to a simple contact request is kept only for as long as strictly necessary to process it. If a case is opened, the data is kept in accordance with the professional retention obligations applicable to lawyers and with the civil and criminal limitation periods.

Audience measurement cookies have a maximum lifetime of 13 months and the related statistical data is kept for 14 months. Your cookie choices are kept for 6 months, after which you will be asked again.

Recipients of the data

The data collected is intended exclusively for Maximilien Fourt and is never sold, rented or disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes. It may be shared with technical service providers strictly necessary for the operation of the website (hosting), and with the authorities entitled to receive it where required by law.

If you accept audience measurement cookies, browsing data is processed by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), as a processor, for the Google Analytics service. This data may be transferred to the United States; such transfers are governed by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. The same applies to the website hosts, Netlify, Inc. and Cloudflare, Inc.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) if you consider that the processing of your data does not comply with the regulations.
