We use your information to communicate with you. We will not disclose your personal data to other organisations, unless required for the provision of our services or required by the law. Sometimes we may need to give information to our agents and subcontractors for the purpose of providing legal services. In these circumstances we always ensure that your information is  held securely.

We will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information. However, the use of the  Internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information which is  transferred from you, or to you, via the internet. Accordingly, please keep the amount of confidential information to a minimum and we will do the same when we reply.

We have systems that protect our clients and ourselves against fraud and other crime. We may use your personal information to prevent crime and trace those responsible. We may check your details with fraud prevention agencies. If you give us false or misleading information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We and other organisations may use and search these records to help us trace and prevent fraud and manage your accounts, or check your identity to prevent money laundering.  With regards to money laundering checks we obtain documentation from you but also use a third party who carry out a variety of electronic checks to identify you.

For any enquiry or concern about our privacy policy, or to request access to your personal data please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]

Under the Data Protection Act 2018, you are entitled to request a Subject Access Request. We will then have to provide you with a readable copy of the personal data, which we keep about you, within 30 days of receiving your  request.  Evidence or proof of your identity (for example, a passport or driver’s license and current utility bill) will be required before any processing of such a request begins.
