EMAIL FRAUD WARNING 

Names can be misused by others for illegitimate purposes. In particular members of chambers are aware of a number of bogus emails, letters and faxes having been received by individuals in many parts of the world, falsely claiming to be from an individual listed on this website. 

For example, some such messages indicate that the addressee of the email/letter has inherited a substantial sum of money, and go on to ask the recipient for personal information and/or money. Communications of this type appear to be part of a scam being orchestrated by someone using those listed on this websites name illegally and without authorisation. This has been reported to the police when appropriate and they are taking steps to try to prevent the illegitimate use of that persons name.  The communications are often in the form of emails, or sometimes letters, and they sometimes use the name of those listed on this website. They are likely to be linked to organised fraud. 

If you have received such a communication it is strongly advised that you just ignore it, and do not respond to it or communicate further with the person who sent the email/letter to you. 

PRIVACY NOTICE 

Professor Geen is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting confidential and privileged information. We take our obligations in relation to personal data seriously. 

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”)) and other applicable data protection law, this privacy notice contains information about what personal data we collect and store, and why. It also tells you how we collect your data, who we share this information with, the measures we have put in place to protect your data, the rights and options that you have, and how to contact us if you have a complaint. 

Who we are? 

Professor Geen is not a company, partnership or firm. Rather, it is a term to describe an individual whose practice is managed by NEWMANS ROW at the address specified. Each individual arbitrator is a self-employed sole practitioner. The individual arbitrators (referred to collectively as “we”/”us”) on the NEWMANS ROW website again does not signify a company, partnership or firm. Personal information about you and each of the sole practitioner is regarded as an independent data controller of your personal data. 

Your data will be controlled by the individual arbitrator you have appointed only and no data is shared with any other individual practitioner whose practice is managed by NEWMANS ROW. 

When does this website collect your personal data? 

Personal data is collected when you or your organisation make an enquiry. 

When you correspond with Professor Green in any manner. 

When you or your organisation interacts with either website or makes an enquiry through NEWMANS ROW or this website. 

What personal data do we collect? 

When appointed we may collect some or all of the following personal information: 

For administrative use during an arbitration, information will be held in a case-management system (Lex): This will generally include your name, address, telephone number, email address or contact details, job title, and other personal data relevant to enable request for payment of fees and expenses. 

Diary and appointment data relating to hearings and other meetings or appointments relevant to the procedural steps of an arbitration (e.g. attendance details at hearings); 

Technical data from cookies or web analytics from your interactions with our website. In fact, we only use Google Analytics. Further information about this can be found in our cookie policy: (https://newmansrow.com/privacy-and-cookies-policy/). 

Data from third party sources such as regulatory agencies, government agencies, online information service providers or from publicly available records and personal data that is available publicly, for example on a firm’s website or LinkedIn. 

Use of your personal data 

We use your personal information for the following purposes: 

• To carry out conflict checks relevant to any appointment. 
• To sufficiently hold information relevant for billing purposes. 
• To comply with our legal obligations, including maintaining records, or conducting any necessary checks (e.g. anti-money laundering, fraud and crime prevention and detection, or in relation to international or trade sanctions). 
• To monitor compliance with our policies and standards. 
• To manage access to 1 Paternoster Lane for security purposes. 
• To protect the security of our communications and other systems and to prevent and detect security threats, frauds or other criminal or malicious activities. 
• To exercise or defend our legal rights, or to comply with the order of any court or other judicial authority or arbitral body. 

For other purposes ancillary to any of the above or any other specific purposes for which your personal data was provided to us. 

The legal basis we rely on for processing your information is: 

• Because it is necessary for us to do so to resolve any dispute in which any one of us is appointed relating to the case in question and/or your organisation. 
• To comply with our professional, regulatory and legal obligations as well as to keep records of our compliance processes or other records. 
• Because our legitimate interests, or those of a third party recipient of your personal data, make the processing necessary, provided that those interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. 
• Because you have expressly given us your consent to process your personal data in that manner. 

Please note that the majority of our processing of personal data will be covered by legal professional privilege. 

Who will we share your personal data with? 

• We may share your personal data: 
• With law enforcement authorities and regulators if required by applicable law. 
• Transfers of personal data out of the European Economic Area 

You should be aware that we operate on a worldwide basis and some of our members frequently work or are based overseas. In the course of an arbitration, it may be necessary to transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) when it is necessary for the services we provide you, or it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. We will take appropriate measures to safeguard the security of any information transferred out of the EEA and to protect your privacy rights. 

If you would like any further information please contact us at 

info@newmansrow.com. 

How long will we store your personal data? 

• We will hold your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes that it was collected it for. 
• In general that means that personal data in relation to any specific legal case or legal service provided will be retained for a period long enough to satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements or to provide protection for us in relation to any complaint or legal claim, or as necessary in relation to any past, ongoing or potential dispute which is the subject of the legal service. 
• In relation to the very limited information necessary to conduct conflict checks, we are required to retain this data indefinitely in order to comply with our professional, regulatory and legal obligations. Such data is limited to your name (only if you were an individual client) or the name of your organisation (which is not personal data in any event). 
• We periodically review our retention of personal data. In relation to specific cases we consider any departure from our general policy on a case by case basis. In order to decide on the appropriate period to retain any personal data, we take into account the nature, extent and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which it was collected and will be processed and whether there is an appropriate way of achieving our legitimate purpose through other means. 
• At the end of the retention period we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with our obligations under applicable laws and in accordance with any relevant guidance.
