The aim of the GDPR is the harmonisation within the European Union of the rules intended to protect the European citizens’ personal data. This regulation covers the protection of the individual personal data in the broadest sense of the word, regardless of their form or nature: private, professional, public.

The GDPR was approved in April 2016 and this regulation has been fully applicable since the 25th of May 2018 at midnight in all the countries of the Union.

It applies to all the private or public undertakings of the 28 Member States, but also to the companies which are not established in the European Union as soon as they collect and process personal data about EU residents.

It is the continuity of the obligations to which the judicial officers are already subject and in particular the law of 08 December 1992 on protection of privacy, the provisions of the Criminal Code and the provisions relating to professional secrecy.

We are aware of it that you trust us and therefore, we consider it is our responsibility to protect your privacy.

Therefore, more than ever before, the protection of your data is one of our priorities. All of the information collected by our office is processed in strict compliance with the GDPR.
