When You contact Alex Ebangué by email or telephone using the contact details available on the Website, the personal data processed may include:
You are invited not to provide personal data that is unnecessary for the purpose of your initial request and, in particular, not to send sensitive or confidential information unless necessary and an appropriate means of communication has been agreed.
When You access the Website, certain technical data may also be processed by or on behalf of Alex Ebangué, such as IP address, connection date and time, browser or device information, and technical logs, where necessary for the operation, security and maintenance of the Website.
Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:
Personal data provided when You contact Alex Ebangué may be processed in order to review and respond to your enquiry, communicate with You and, where relevant, consider a potential engagement.
Where your request concerns a potential engagement, such processing is based on the steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.
For general enquiries that do not concern a potential contractual relationship, processing may be based on the legitimate interest in receiving, managing and responding to professional communications.
Where an attorney-client relationship is subsequently established, personal data may be processed to perform the relevant engagement and manage the resulting professional relationship.
Such processing is based, as applicable, on the performance of the relevant contractual relationship and on compliance with applicable legal and professional obligations.
Personal data may be processed where necessary to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or professional obligations applicable to Alex Ebangué as an attorney.
Such processing is based on compliance with applicable legal obligations.
Technical data may be processed where necessary to operate, maintain and secure the Website, prevent or investigate security incidents and ensure its technical availability.

[TO BE CONFIRMED BEFORE PUBLICATION, BASED ON THE HOSTING, EMAIL, ANALYTICS AND OTHER TECHNICAL PROVIDERS USED BY THE WEBSITE.]
If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area to a country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision of the European Commission, such transfer will be subject to an appropriate transfer mechanism under applicable data protection law, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, together with any additional safeguards required in the circumstances.
Further information regarding the safeguards applicable to a particular transfer may be requested using the contact details set out in Article 1.
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, subject to applicable legal and professional retention requirements.
In particular:
Where data no longer needs to remain actively available but must be retained in order to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, it may be archived with appropriately restricted access for the relevant period.
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for its operation and security.
[TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE PUBLICATION IF ANY ANALYTICS, ADVERTISING OR OTHER NON-ESSENTIAL TRACKERS ARE USED.]
Where a cookie or similar tracker requires the User’s consent under applicable law, it will not be placed or accessed until the User has given the required consent, and the User will be able to withdraw or modify that consent through the Website’s cookie management mechanism.
Certain audience-measurement tools may, where all applicable legal conditions are satisfied, be used without consent.
Further information, where relevant, will be provided through the Website’s cookie management mechanism and/or Cookie Policy.

No internet-based service can provide an absolute guarantee of security. Appropriate measures are therefore reviewed and adapted where necessary having regard to the relevant risks and technical environment.
