Relationship
Lemur Law acts as a data processor, meaning we process personal data on behalf of and under our clients' instructions, who are the data controllers. As a data processor, we do not have direct control over the purposes for which your data is processed but instead adhere to the directives provided by our clients. Lemur Law is not a law firm that does not provide legal services; rather, we provide technological tools to facilitate efficient legal documentation management.
