When you contact Docsbase Apostille and Legalisation division or even when you browse our website, you are sharing some of your personal details with us. It is therefore important that you are familiar with our Privacy Policy and understand what data and for what purpose you consent to share with us.

Why Do We Collect Your Personal Data?

We collect and process your personal data exclusively on lawful grounds and for a specific purpose requested by you, our client. This enables us to provide you with an excellent service that covers a number of practical procedures that include assessing your document and providing you with the best quote and processing your payment safely and securely. We may also need to collect some of your data for identification purposes, which may be required if you authorise us to request your personal documents.

What Data Do We Collect?

By contacting us via e-mail, by telephone or through any other platform, we will collect some of your personal data ranging from general contact details to more specific and private information. This data you will share with us when sending in a personal and confidential document for translation or simply inquiring about a quote or when you make an online payment.

Please note that these are all standard and common procedures and we guarantee safety and confidentiality of your private data. Our privacy policy complies with the national, European and international data protection regulations that govern processing and storage of the collected data.

As a Docsbase client, you have a right to access, rectification, objection, deletion and restriction of your personal data collected by us. You can file a complaint and exercise your rights at any point in time. You can equally withdraw consent to the processing and storage of your personal data.

Do We Share Your Personal Data With Third Parties?

We share your personal information solely with banks as part of the payment processes and to comply with anti-money laundering legislation. We do not share your information with any other external third parties. Your personal data may be shared with a translator based outside the European Union, but this is covered under the data privacy policy as part of your order and under no circumstances jeopardises your rights or confidentiality of your personal data. All our members of staff and partners have signed and abide by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or any relevant supplements thereto.

How Long Is Personal Data Stored For?
