PRIVACY POLICY

Effective May 2026

Introduction

In these Terms and Conditions, references to “Forsety Legal,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean Forsety Ltd., a company incorporated in England and Wales, United Kingdom, company number 16673822.

We conduct our business under the trading name Forsety Legal.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, disclose, store, and protect personal data in connection with our business activities, website, and the legal and related professional services we provide.

We are committed to handling personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), the Swedish Data Protection Act, and other applicable laws and regulatory obligations.

By using our website, contacting us, or engaging our services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Who we are

Forsety Legal is a business law practice providing legal and related advisory services principally in relation to Swedish law.

Unless otherwise specified in a relevant engagement agreement, Forsety Ltd. acts as the data controller in relation to personal data processed in connection with our operations and legal services.

Where services are provided through another entity identified in a specific engagement agreement, that entity may also act as a data controller in relation to the relevant engagement.

Personal data we collect

We may collect and process personal data that you provide directly to us, that we obtain during the course of providing legal services, or that we receive from third parties where permitted by law.

This may include your name, contact details, identification documents, financial information, employment details, correspondence, case-related information, and any other personal data relevant to the legal matter for which we are instructed.

We may also collect technical information when you visit our website, including IP addresses, browser type, device information, and website usage data through cookies and similar technologies.

In some cases, we may process special categories of personal data, such as information relating to health, criminal convictions, trade union membership, or other sensitive matters where necessary for legal proceedings, compliance obligations, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

How we use personal data

We use personal data for the purpose of providing legal advice and representation, managing client relationships, conducting conflict checks and client due diligence, complying with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations, processing payments and managing accounts, improving our services and maintaining security, and administering our website and business operations.

We may also use personal data to communicate with clients and prospective clients, respond to enquiries, and send legal updates or marketing communications where permitted by applicable law.

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the circumstances, this may include performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests, consent, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Where special categories of personal data are processed, we rely on applicable exemptions and legal bases under data protection laws, including where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, compliance with legal obligations, or reasons of substantial public interest. 

Sharing of personal data

We may share personal data with courts, authorities, opposing counsel, experts, professional advisers, service providers, and other third parties where necessary for the provision of legal services or compliance with legal obligations.

We may also disclose personal data where required by law, regulation, court order, or professional obligations applicable to legal service providers.

Any third-party service providers acting on our behalf are required to process personal data securely and only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws.

Use of technology and third-party providers

To facilitate efficient service delivery and business operations, we may use cloud-based platforms, AI-assisted systems, virtual data rooms, external IT infrastructure providers, communication tools, and other third-party technology providers.

Such providers may process personal data on our behalf under contractual arrangements designed to ensure appropriate confidentiality, security, and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Despite reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, electronic systems and digital communications involve inherent cybersecurity and operational risks. 

International transfers

As an international legal services provider, we may process and transfer personal data within Sweden, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions where necessary for legal services, compliance obligations, business operations, or the use of international service providers.

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom, we implement safeguards intended to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws. Such safeguards may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, intra-group arrangements, or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including the provision of legal services, compliance with legal and regulatory obligations, professional responsibilities, insurance requirements, dispute resolution, and applicable limitation periods.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the engagement, applicable legal requirements, and operational needs. When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it where appropriate.

Your rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of personal data, object to processing, request restriction of processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. These rights are not absolute and may be limited where legal professional privilege, confidentiality obligations, or other legal exemptions apply.

If you wish to exercise your rights or have questions regarding our processing of personal data, you may contact us using the contact details set out at the end of this Privacy Policy.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In Sweden, it is the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten – IMY)  https://www.imy.se/

In the United Kingdom, it is the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) https://ico.org.uk/
