Your information is processed across five core operational areas. Each category serves a distinct, documented business purpose:

Legal Bases for Processing
We process your data only when we have a lawful basis under applicable privacy legislation:
- Contractual Necessity: To fulfill our legal advisory agreements and deliver requested policy services.
- Legal Obligation: To comply with court orders, regulatory mandates, or statutory reporting requirements.
- Legitimate Interests: To improve our services, prevent fraud, and maintain secure internal systems, provided these do not override your privacy rights.

Third-Party Sharing & Disclosures
LexiGuard maintains strict data minimization principles. Your information is never sold or disclosed to unrelated third parties. Sharing is strictly limited to:
- Trusted Service Providers: Secure cloud infrastructure, encrypted email systems, and document management platforms bound by strict data processing agreements (DPAs).
- Legal & Regulatory Authorities: When required by law, subpoena, or regulatory investigation.
- Professional Affiliates: External counsel, compliance auditors, or industry specialists engaged directly for your matter, under attorney-client confidentiality standards.
International Transfers
If your data is processed outside your country of residence, we ensure adequate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Privacy Shield-equivalent protections are in place.
Data Retention & Deletion
We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined above, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods are determined by:
- Statutory limitation periods and professional conduct rules
- Active engagement status and client relationship duration
- Tax, accounting, and audit record requirements
Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized using industry-standard cryptographic wiping protocols.
