Privacy policy
This policy covers use of this website and the processing of information received before a professional consultation. It also sets out the firm’s institutional commitment to information security and professional responsibility. If a professional engagement is accepted, the specific processing conditions applicable to that matter will be explained.
Browsing the website
This website provides information about Gentile Estudio. It has no registration forms and does not allow users to upload or access case files. The website code does not include analytics or advertising tracking tools. WhatsApp, email and map links lead to external services, which are subject to their providers’ terms and policies.
The protection infrastructure uses Cloudflare’s technical cookie __cf_bm to mitigate automated traffic. According to the provider’s documentation, it expires after thirty minutes of continuous inactivity. The connection uses HTTPS to protect information in transit. These measures do not imply absolute security or the absence of other technical infrastructure logs.
Browsing this website does not replace the agreement we ask for before proceeding with a preliminary enquiry. Before sending sensitive documents through any contact channel, please read this notice and agree with the firm on what information is needed and which channel to use to share it.
Data controller
The data controller is Federico Nicolás Gentile, lawyer, M.P. 1-42644, owner of Gentile Estudio, with a professional address at Bv. Chacabuco 150, offices 11 and 12, Córdoba, Argentina. For questions about your data, you may write to gentile.servicioslegales@gmail.com or contact the business WhatsApp number +54 9 351 743-2323.
Information received may be included in the firm’s physical or electronic records and files for the purposes described in this policy.
Processing principles
Processing is governed by the principles of purpose limitation, data quality, transparency, confidentiality and security. Data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for each enquiry or engagement; it must be kept up to date and must not be used for purposes different from or incompatible with those for which it was received. The duty of confidentiality continues after the professional relationship has ended.
Purposes and consent
When you contact us through WhatsApp and agree to continue, we use the information you choose to share to understand and organise the details of your situation, check for potential conflicts of interest, assess whether our involvement is appropriate, request any further information needed, prepare a preliminary professional assessment, communicate our decision and, where appropriate, arrange an in-person or video consultation. We may also retain what is necessary to meet legal or professional obligations, protect the firm’s security and defend rights.
Your decision is voluntary. A clear affirmative reply on WhatsApp records your agreement; no exact wording is required. Silence, an ambiguous reply or merely sending a file is not treated as acceptance. If you prefer not to continue, we will not review the information or proceed with the preliminary enquiry through that channel.
Provide accurate information and tell us about relevant changes. If essential data is missing or information is inaccurate, it may not be possible to assess the enquiry adequately. No one is required to provide sensitive data.
Information received
We may receive identification and contact details, an account of the facts, and documents, images or audio recordings that you send us. Share only what is necessary for the enquiry, and avoid sending passwords, access codes, banking credentials or other information we have not requested.
Some matters may involve sensitive information or information about other people. Its processing requires an assessment of the applicable legal and professional conditions. Acceptance of this preliminary enquiry does not constitute general authorisation to process third-party information or replace the restrictions that apply.
Access and recipients
Federico Gentile and people expressly authorised by him may access the information only to the extent necessary for their duties and subject to confidentiality obligations. Providers of technological services supporting professional activities may also be involved, covering communication, storage, video calls, document management, support, information processing and automated assistance, including artificial intelligence systems.
When acting on behalf of the firm, their involvement must be limited to the purpose and instructions applicable to each processing activity. Your agreement to proceed with a preliminary enquiry does not, in itself, authorise the use of your information to train or improve models or for the provider’s own purposes. The provider’s terms and obligations must be assessed before it is used to process information that identifies individuals.
The firm does not sell your information or use it for advertising. During the preliminary enquiry, we will not disclose it to an independent third party for that party’s own purpose, unless required by law. If assessing the case requires such a disclosure and there is no other legal basis for it, we will request your specific authorisation beforehand.
Automated assistance
To assess your enquiry, we may use automated assistance to search for, organise, review, summarise or prepare information. Its use with your account of the facts or the necessary documentation must respect the purpose of the enquiry, the applicable processing conditions and professional confidentiality. Direction of the work, professional judgment and responsibility remain with Federico Gentile.
You may ask us to explain how this assistance was used in your enquiry or request a restriction. We will explain its scope and the alternatives before continuing with the use in question. Before recording or transcribing a meeting, a specific assessment must be carried out and participants must be informed; their consent will be requested where required.
Processing outside Argentina
Due to the nature of some digital services, storage or processing may take place outside Argentina. Each processing activity must have the safeguards required by the applicable rules. If additional authorisation is needed for a specific use, we will request it beforehand. You may request information about the categories of providers, destinations and applicable safeguards.
Describing recipients by category does not replace identifying the recipient where legally required, nor does it constitute unlimited authorisation to disclose or transfer information.
Information retention
We retain information while the preliminary enquiry remains open, and afterwards only for as long as necessary to keep a record of what was discussed, check for conflicts of interest, meet legal or professional obligations and protect rights. If the case is not accepted or the preliminary enquiry is closed, documents are not retained indefinitely: they are deleted or anonymised when no longer necessary, without prejudice to any minimal record that must be retained for those purposes.
Some providers may retain contexts, outputs, technical logs or backup copies for the periods set out in their terms, including retention for security or legal obligations. These conditions must be assessed before the service is used and when managing erasure. Local deletion or deletion of a visible chat does not, in itself, establish that all remote copies have been erased.
Information security and professional responsibility
Gentile Estudio incorporates information security management practices aimed at preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of documents entrusted to it by its clients, with particular attention to professional confidentiality and personal data protection.
For the provision of its services, the firm may use providers of technological services supporting professional activities, covering communication, storage, document management and automated assistance, including artificial intelligence systems. Their use is subject to the purpose of each engagement and the restrictions applicable to the processing of information.
The use of technology forms part of a working method based on cross-checking against original sources, critically reviewing outputs and developing arguments appropriate to the circumstances of each matter. Strategy, legal judgment and responsibility for professional work remain with the lawyer, to defend the rights and interests entrusted to the firm.
Data subjects’ rights
You may request access to your data, its updating or rectification and, where applicable, its deletion or confidential treatment. You may also withdraw your consent for future uses; this does not affect processing lawfully carried out before your request or mandatory retention.
Send your request to gentile.servicioslegales@gmail.com or the business WhatsApp number +54 9 351 743-2323, stating which right you wish to exercise. To protect your information, your identity will be verified using only the necessary details. Please retain evidence that your request was received.
Access is free at intervals of at least six months, unless a legitimate interest is established. The requested information must be provided within ten calendar days of demonstrable receipt of the request. Any rectification, updating or deletion that is required must be carried out within five working days of receiving the claim or becoming aware of an error or false information.
The Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública (AAIP), as the supervisory authority under Argentina’s Law No. 25.326, is empowered to handle complaints and claims submitted by people whose rights are affected by non-compliance with the personal data protection rules in force. Official information on personal data protection.
Scope of initial contact
Receiving your message or documents does not mean that the firm has accepted the case, does not in itself create a professional relationship, and does not replace a legal consultation. Nor does it suspend any deadlines. If there is a deadline or an urgent matter, please mention it in your first message.
Updates to this policy
Changes will be published on this page with the update date. If a change materially affects the purpose, recipients or conditions of a processing activity, the necessary information will be provided and any additional authorisation required will be requested before that new use takes place. Publishing a change does not replace that authorisation.
