What are the legal bases for processing your personal data?
Every processing activity involving personal data must have both a specific purpose and a lawful basis. We process personal data on the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract with Littler
We process your personal data where this is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Littler, for example, when you wish to use our services.
Legal obligation
We are legally required to process certain personal data in order to comply with tax obligations and other statutory requirements.

We process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, including:
– Littler’s interest in maintaining a long-term relationship with you and offering you legal services;
– Littler’s interest in improving the effectiveness of our services through analysis;
– Littler’s interest in responding to your enquiries.

Is my personal data shared with third parties?
In accordance with this Privacy Policy and to the extent permitted by law, Littler may engage third parties. For example, we use third parties to provide certain services, such as supporting our legal services and organising events and webinars. We use the following categories of third parties:
– Other Littler offices within the international Littler network;
– Platforms used to host our webinars;
– Software providers used to distribute our newsletters;
– IT service providers.
In connection with our international legal services, we may share personal data with other Littler offices where necessary for the provision of our services, subject to applicable data protection laws and confidentiality obligations. Where a third party processes personal data on Littler’s instructions, that party acts as a data processor on our behalf. We enter into data processing agreements with such processors. These agreements contain obligations and safeguards to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected in accordance with the GDPR and is processed solely for the purpose of providing services to us.
Is my personal data processed outside the European Union or European Economic Area?
We aim to process personal data within the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA) wherever possible. However, in certain circumstances, it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to organisations located outside the European Union or the EEA, including other offices within the international Littler network, in order to provide our services. We only do so where we are satisfied that an appropriate level of protection is in place. We ensure this by complying with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR concerning international transfers of personal data.
How long do we retain your personal data?
Your personal data will be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer necessary for the processing purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a statutory retention obligation applies.
How do we protect your personal data?
Littler attaches great importance to your privacy. We therefore implement security measures to prevent theft, loss or other unlawful use of your personal data. We use secure connections and, where necessary, encrypted communications. We also implement physical and logical access controls. These measures include encryption of local drives, firewalls, password protection and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for our accounts, and monitoring of our IT environment for unusual activity. Access to our office is also secured by an electronic access control system and an alarm system.
