GDPR statement – General Data Protection Regulation

The General Data Protection Regulation is an important new framework to protect customer data and enhances the privacy of web visitors, prospects, and customers. The previous data protection directive from 1995 is replaced by a comprehensive GDPR. This page outlines the way we take care of your privacy. This GDPR policy is published on all the websites managed by Legal Floris LLC. Therefore, you will see this exact same text on all of the niches- and information provision websites we run.

About us and contact information

The owner of this website is Legal Floris LLC, a company registered in Delaware, USA under registration number 5783431. Before we can explain what it is that we do, it is important to understand the difference between the attorney or advocate, and a lawyer, legal advisor or legal consultant. In most countries, attorneys or advocates are registered with local BAR associations and are allowed to represent customers in different domestic courts. Lawyers, legal advisors, and legal consultants often work on cases that do not require the involvement of a judge in court. Due to the cross-border activities of the firm and the scope of our work, Legal Floris LLC is not registered with a European BAR association.

The registered office of Legal Floris LLC is at 1013 Centre Rd. Suite 403-A, Wilmington, 19805, Delaware, USA. Our main area of work involves fund recovery services in bank failures. The pre-liquidation stage of a bank failure often takes several years. During the pre-liquidation stage of a bank failure, we often travel to the location to serve potential clients in the best possible way. You can reach us directly at the following telephone numbers 646 513 2855 (USA), 678 81974 (Latvia) and 25 030 666 (Cyprus). The financial institutions of our focus merely deal with high net worth individuals and offshore companies. These target groups have very specific needs. Therefore, Legal Floris LLC offers the information required to comply with rules set by regulators and directives. During our work, we often get confronted with customers who need specialized guidance to solve industry-specific problems. To be sure that fund recovery potential is not compromised, we can introduce customers to qualified professionals who may solve the issues in place.

GDPR privacy and data policy

Your privacy and personal data are important to us. We only use your data for purposes relating to your inquiry. This GDPR proof privacy and data policy explain what happens to any personal data that is given to us, or any that we may collect from or about you. Our privacy and data policy applies to all services where we collect or receive your personal data.

  • Statement & policy

The personal information that we can process in connection with products and services, as well as the information provisioning via our website(s) include: personal and contact details, nationality, details of beneficiaries, and all other details that are required to execute proper due diligence on our customers.

The source of the personal information we collect is directly derived from yourself. Depending on the reason for contacting us, we can request simple things as your name, email address, and telephone number, to more extensive information such as business plans, company information, and tax records. Sometimes, we receive information from third-party advisors or business partners who represent our customers as well.

We use your personal data to contact you, assess an application for a product or service and decide whether we can work for you or not. If we decide to take you on as a client, your personal information is used to manage your products or services with us. Additionally, we use your personal data to follow guidance and best practice under the change to rules of governmental and regulatory bodies.

The legal grounds to process your personal information are subject to five pillars: where it is needed to provide you with our products and services; where it is in our legitimate interests to do so; to comply with our legal obligation; with your (explicit) consent; and for a public interest.

We can share your personal information with others upon your request. This can occur when the execution of our assignment requires us to appoint third parties or you want us to share specific personal information from yourself or your company with other business professionals. Also, when law enforcement or regulators require us to share information we will do so.

You can withdraw your consent or change the information we have on you by request. Our clients have the ‘right to be forgotten’. This means that they can contact us and ask us to remove their personal data we hold on them on file. A designated email address is opened for the GDPR related requests. You can contact us at [email protected]. We strive to respond to your request within a reasonable time and changes or removals will be affected within 30 days after your request. Your withdrawal of consent or change of information does not eliminate the requirement to inform law enforcement in case of fraud, impersonation or other events where the law requires us to report.

Legal Floris LLC is a global firm and since we are registered in the USA, we comply with US law. Since our customers come from various places, we also comply with EU law and the rules that relate to the EEA. Your personal information can be transferred outside of the EEA, depending on your specific needs.

  • Personal Data

Unless otherwise agreed, we keep your personal data in our files to comply with the local and global regulation. In general, we divide data processing into three categories: website visitors, prospects, and customers. Web visitors might be requested to allow cookies to enhance the quality of their web visit. Prospects are requested to leave their contact information. Customers are asked to provide us with personal information to optimize the services we can offer.
