Who we are

ILFP Legal Partners LLC (“ILFP”, “we”, “us”) is a Swiss-based professional services firm with its registered office at Gotthardstrasse 3, 6300 Zug, Switzerland. We are the controller for the personal data processed in connection with this website and our client engagements, unless stated otherwise. You can reach us at info@ilfp.ch.

Personal data we process

Depending on how you interact with us, we may process the following categories of personal data:

  • Identification and contact details (e.g. name, company, role, email address, phone number, postal address).
  • Information you provide via our website forms, by email, by phone or in meetings (e.g. the content of your enquiry, mandate-related information, supporting documents).
  • Information necessary to assess and onboard a client (e.g. identification documents and beneficial-ownership information where required by applicable anti-money-laundering rules).
  • Communication and engagement data (e.g. correspondence, meeting notes, mandate files, invoicing data).
  • Technical and usage data when you visit our website (e.g. IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, approximate location, referrer), to the extent permitted by your cookie preferences.

We do not deliberately collect special categories of personal data unless this is necessary in the context of a specific mandate, and only on a lawful basis.

How we collect personal data

We collect personal data primarily:

  • Directly from you when you contact us, engage us, or use our website forms.
  • From third parties on your behalf (e.g. your advisors, banks, public registries) where this is necessary for a mandate.
  • Automatically through our website and security infrastructure, subject to your cookie preferences.

Purposes and legal basis

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your enquiry and to provide and administer professional services.
  • To establish and manage client relationships, including onboarding, conflict checks and risk assessment.
  • To comply with our legal, regulatory and professional obligations, including anti-money-laundering, tax and accounting rules.
  • To manage our website, security, IT systems and business operations.
  • To send relevant business communications where permitted.

Under Swiss law (revised Federal Act on Data Protection — FADP/DSG), processing is permitted where it is necessary for the performance of a contract, based on a legitimate interest, required by law, or where you have given consent. Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, equivalent legal bases (Art. 6 GDPR) are relied on.

Website, cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies. We use a consent-management tool to inform visitors about non-essential cookies and comparable technologies and, where required, to obtain and manage consent. Details on the categories of cookies, providers, purposes, retention periods and your options to change or withdraw consent are available in the cookie settings and cookie policy displayed on our website.

Marketing communications

Where permitted, we may send you information about our services, insights or events. You can object to such communications at any time, including by using the unsubscribe link in any email, or by writing to info@ilfp.ch.

Who we share personal data with

We may share personal data on a need-to-know basis with:

  • Our partners, employees and engaged professionals bound by professional secrecy and confidentiality obligations.
  • Service providers acting on our behalf (e.g. IT, hosting, communication, accounting and document-management providers), subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.
  • Authorities, courts, counterparties or other third parties where required by law, regulation, professional rules, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • In the context of a specific mandate, parties to whom disclosure is necessary on your instructions or to perform the engagement.

We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Our infrastructure is primarily hosted in Switzerland and the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection, we put in place appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses and, where relevant, additional measures) in line with applicable Swiss and EU requirements.

Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above and to comply with legal, regulatory, professional and contractual retention obligations. Mandate files are typically retained for the periods required under Swiss professional rules and applicable accounting, tax and anti-money-laundering legislation.

Data security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Access to mandate data is restricted to authorised individuals subject to confidentiality and professional-secrecy obligations.

Your rights

Subject to and in accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request information about the personal data we process about you.
  • Request rectification of inaccurate data, or completion of incomplete data.
  • Request deletion or restriction of processing, within the limits of our legal and professional retention obligations.
  • Object to certain processing activities or withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out.
  • Data portability where applicable.
  • Lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (in Switzerland: the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner — FDPIC).
