Privacy Policy

Hulgaard Advokater is a law firm and therefore processes personal data of the customers we serve through our legal services.

We also process personal data about individuals who are relevant to the cases we handle for our customers This privacy policy describes how Hulgaard Advokater processes such personal data and what rights data subjects have in this regard.

Personal data is any kind of information relating to an identified or identifiable physical person. This may include anything from name and address to a photograph of a person, bank details, and national identification number (in Denmark; CPR number).


Any such personal data is subject to the rules of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Danish Data Protection Act.

The purpose of our processing of personal data is to assist our customers with legal advice.

At Hulgaard Advokater, we process the personal data necessary to assist our customers. The categories of personal data processed depend on the type of case. We process both ordinary and sensitive personal data.

The legal basis for our processing of personal data is the following:

• The processing is necessary for the performance of the agreement for legal assistance we have with a customer, cf. GDPR Article 6(1)(b).
• The processing is necessary for us or our customer to pursue a legitimate interest, cf. GDPR Article 6(1)(f).
• The processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, cf. GDPR Article 9(2)(f).
• The processing of CPR numbers follows from legislation or is essential to ensure unique identification, including with public authorities, cf. Section 11(2)(1) and (3) of the Danish Data Protection Act.

Personal data is only disclosed to opposing parties, administrative appeal bodies, courts, public authorities, and others to the extent it is relevant to our assistance in the customer’s case, or if we are required to do so under the law, including the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act in case of suspicion of money laundering and terrorist financing.


Please note that our bookkeeping is handled externally, and that we are part of an shared office arrangement.

When a customer contacts us for advice, we create a digital case file where the inquiry will be stored along with the case materials we receive from the customer and others during the handling of the case. The personal data we process in the specific case will also be stored there. Your personal data is stored for as long as we provide assistance in your case or maintain an ongoing client relationship.

Upon termination of our assistance, we generally retain all case-related information, including your personal data, for 10 years. This retention period is partly required by the Danish Bar and Law Society’s ethical rules and partly to be able to document the case if a dispute should arise concerning the assistance we provided. Personal data necessary to establish or defend a legal claim may, in relevant cases, be retained for more than 10 years.

As a data subject, you have the right to access your data and have any errors corrected. In certain cases, you also have the right to have your data deleted, to restrict processing, to object to processing, and to receive your data in a digital format.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights or have questions about our processing of personal data, you can contact us at: mail@hulgaardadvokater.dk.

A data subject may complain about the processing of their personal data with the Danish Data Protection Agency. Contact details can be found at www.datatilsynet.dk.

Hulgaard Advokater reserves the right to make changes to or update this privacy policy.
