We take data privacy seriously. Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand what will happen to any personal data that you provide to us as a result of using our website or corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. This information is written for the benefit of general visitors to the website and others who are not clients of our firm. If you are a client of our firm (or become one), we process a wider range of personal data and deal with a broader range of privacy-related issues. Clients are provided detailed information about this during the engagement process.
By providing personal information such as your name and e-mail address via the forms on our website, you agree to us contacting you regarding the information requested.
We use the personal data you provide via our website to:
The “General Data Protection Regulation” and “UK General Data Protection Regulation” (together, “GDPR”) are the primary pieces of legislation defining your rights over our processing of your personal information. The GDPR requires us to declare which of six lawful reasons we are relying on when we are processing your personal data. We operate on the basis of legitimate interest when communicating with you when responding to your enquiry.
You may be providing other third party data to us, for example details about your family members or associates. You must have the authority to disclose personal data if it relates to someone else and all data disclosed should be complete, accurate and up to date.
From time to time we may pass personal data such as your name and email address to other services that we use to send out newsletters and other communications (both electronic and print). Your personal data will never be sold. We will never transfer your personal data to an organisation outside the UK or the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Your personal data will be held on secure servers within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the UK with all reasonable technical and organisational measures put in place to safeguard it from unauthorised access. Where possible any identifiable information will be encrypted or minimised.
In the first instance we hope you will contact us directly with any questions or complaints (contact details are displayed prominently on this website). However, legal rights regarding privacy are the remit of the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and you will find more information about how to complain here: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/
