Information we process
When you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details, organisation and the outline of your enquiry. Our hosting and security providers process technical information, including IP addresses, request times, browser information and security events, to deliver and protect the website.
Please do not include sensitive personal information or details of criminal allegations in an initial enquiry. If such information is needed, we will establish the appropriate arrangements and legal basis before requesting it.
Purposes and legal bases
We use enquiry information to respond, assess whether we can assist and take steps towards a possible engagement. Depending on the circumstances, this is necessary to take steps at your request before entering a contract or for our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and administering our business.
Technical information is processed for our legitimate interests in operating a secure, reliable website and preventing abuse. We may also process information to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Where consent is required, we will request it separately.
Who receives information
Access is limited to people who need information for the purposes described above. Cloudflare provides website hosting, delivery and security. SiteGround provides the website enquiry email service. Professional advisers, service providers or public authorities may receive information where necessary and lawful. We do not sell personal information.
International processing
Our service providers operate internationally and information may be processed outside the United Kingdom. Where a restricted transfer occurs, applicable safeguards must be used, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual protections. You can contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your information.
Retention
We keep information only for as long as necessary for its purpose. Relevant factors include whether an enquiry leads to an engagement, the nature of the matter, applicable record-keeping duties and limitation periods for potential claims. Technical records are retained according to the hosting and security services used and the need to investigate incidents. You can request information about the retention period applicable to your records.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, erasure or restriction of your personal information. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and request portability where the legal conditions apply. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.
You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or to another competent data protection authority. You may contact us first, but you are not required to do so.
Cookies and automated decisions
