What we collect

Personal data is collected only where necessary to deliver services or meet legal obligations. This may include:

• Contact and identification details: name, address, email address, phone number
• Professional information: company name, role, registration numbers where relevant
• Financial and compliance data: bank details, KYC and CDD documentation, source-of-funds information where an engagement requires it
• Correspondence: emails, messages and notes arising from an engagement or enquiry
• Website data: IP address and basic usage data logged automatically when you visit this site

CuraLegis does not collect sensitive personal data (such as health or biometric information) except where expressly required by a specific service and with the client's knowledge.

How we use it

Personal data is used for the following purposes:

• Delivering the agreed services, including legal, compliance and administrative work
• Communicating with clients and prospective clients about engagements and enquiries
• Complying with legal and regulatory obligations, including KYC, CDD and anti-money laundering requirements under Curaçao law
• Maintaining records of engagements for administrative and legal purposes
• Improving the website and understanding how it is used

Personal data is never used for marketing, profiling or automated decision-making.

Legal basis for processing

Processing of personal data rests on one or more of the following bases:

• Contract processing is necessary to perform an engagement or to take steps prior to entering into one
• Legal obligation processing is required to comply with applicable law, including AML and KYC legislation
• Legitimate interest processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of CuraLegis or a third party, where those interests are not overridden by the data subject's rights
• Consent where processing is based on consent, it may be withdrawn at any time without affecting prior processing

How long we keep it

Personal data is retained for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. For compliance and legal engagements, retention periods are typically set by statutory requirements, often five to seven years from the end of an engagement.

Data that is no longer needed and no longer subject to a retention obligation is deleted or anonymised.

Sharing personal data

CuraLegis does not sell personal data. Data is shared only in the following circumstances:

• With specialist professionals such as notaries, tax advisors, accountants and attorneys engaged in connection with a client matter, and only to the extent necessary
• With regulatory or supervisory authorities where disclosure is required by law
• With service providers involved in operating this website or CuraLegis's administrative systems, under appropriate confidentiality arrangements

Where data is transferred outside Curaçao, appropriate safeguards are applied in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

Security

Technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data are applied: access controls, encrypted communications and secure storage of client files.

No internet transmission is completely secure. If you have concerns about information you have shared, get in touch directly.
