Privacy policy

Legal framework

Data is processed in accordance with Law No. 18-07 of 10 June 2018, as amended and supplemented, on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data, and with the rules of professional conduct of the legal profession.

Data collected

The website collects only the data you choose to send through the contact form:

• your full name;
• your telephone number and email address;
• the nature of your request and the content of your message;
• the language in which you are viewing the website.

Purpose and legal basis

This data is used solely to review your request, to get back to you and, where appropriate, to arrange an appointment. Processing is based on your express consent, given by ticking the box on the form. You may withdraw it at any time.

Your data is never used for commercial or promotional purposes, is not added to any newsletter, and is never sold or passed on.

Sensitive data

The form is not designed to receive sensitive data (health, opinions, criminal matters and the like) or confidential documents. When first getting in touch, please provide only the information needed to direct your request. The firm will then tell you which channel to use.

Recipients

Messages are read only by Maître Hamza SELLAM and, where applicable, by those assisting him, all of whom are bound by professional secrecy.

The form is transmitted by a technical service provider, Formspree, which acts on behalf of the firm and may not use the data for any other purpose. The data is not disclosed to any other third party, except where required by law or by a competent authority.

Transfers outside Algeria

Formspree’s servers are located outside Algeria, mainly in the United States. Sending the form therefore involves a transfer of your data abroad, under the conditions laid down by Law No. 18-07. If you would rather avoid this transfer, you can contact the firm directly by telephone.

Retention period

Requests that do not lead to the firm being instructed are kept for no more than twelve months from the last exchange and then deleted. Where the firm is instructed, the correspondence is placed on the client file and kept in accordance with the rules applicable to the legal profession.

Security

The website is served over HTTPS only, and access to messages received is restricted to authorised persons. As no transmission over the internet is entirely secure, however, the firm cannot guarantee the absolute security of messages sent through the form.

Your rights

Under Law No. 18-07, you have the following rights over your data:

• the right to be informed about the processing of your data;
• the right of access to your data and to obtain a copy;
• the right to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected;
• the right to object to processing on legitimate grounds;
• the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Exercising your rights

Simply write to the email address given above, stating which right you wish to exercise. The firm may ask you to prove your identity to avoid disclosing data to anyone else.

If you consider that your rights have not been respected, you may refer the matter to the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (ANPDP).

Cookies

This website sets no cookies and uses no audience measurement, advertising or tracking tools. Fonts and images are served directly by the website, without calling on any third-party service.

After the form is sent, the confirmation page is displayed by Formspree, which applies its own cookie policy.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be amended to reflect changes in the law or in how the website operates. The version in force is the one published on this page. Further information about the publisher of the website is set out in the legal notice.
