Personal Data

The term “Personal Data” as used in this Data Protection Privacy Notice means any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. This definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers to constitute Personal Data, including name, date of birth, residential address, identification number, location data, or online identifier. Personal Data does not include data from which you can no longer be identified, such as anonymised aggregate data. 

What information do we collect about you, how do we collect it and what do we use it for?

The kinds of Personal Data we may collect include your contact details (such as your address, email address and telephone number) and other information such as your job title. In most cases, we will collect the Personal Data directly from you but may also obtain it from other sources. We will process your Personal Data if and to the extent applicable law provides us with lawful basis to do so. Therefore, we will only process your Personal Data if either: 

1.   you have consented to us doing so (consent); 

2.   we need it to perform the contract we have entered into with you (contract); 

3.   we need it to comply with a legal obligation (legal obligation); 

4.   we need it to protect someone’s life (vital interests); 

5.   we need it to perform a task in the public interest or for your official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law (public task); or 

6.   we (or a third party) have a legitimate interest which is not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (legitimate interest). 

Given the nature of our business, it is considered unlikely that the lawful basis for us processing your Personal Data will be by reason of vital interests or public task. We will use your Personal Data to deliver services to you and/or to work or act for you. We may also use your Personal Data to inform you about us and our services or otherwise communicate with you. 

Please note that we may use or disclose Personal Data if we are required by law to do so or if we reasonably believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process. 

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website. Strictly necessary cookies are always active as they are essential for the operation of the site, while analytics and marketing cookies are only used with your consent,  with marketing cookies requiring explicit consent.  You can manage your preferences at any time through our cookie banner. We comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive by obtaining prior consent for the use of non-essential cookies. 

Automated Decision-Making & Profiling

We do not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Where profiling is used, for example, for marketing segmentation purposes, it is limited in scope, carried out on a lawful basis, and always subject to your right to object. 

What might we need from you?

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right of access Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. 

Accuracy of information

It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your Personal Data changes during your relationship with us. 

What if you do not provide the Personal Data we request?

It is in your sole discretion to provide Personal Data to us. If you do not provide us with all or some of the Personal Data we request, we may not be able to accept an engagement from you, to provide all or some of our services, to enter into a contract with you, or to send you information about us (e.g. marketing materials). 

Change of purpose and anonymisation

We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason which is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you, and we will explain the legal basis that allows us to do so. In some circumstances, we may anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer Personal Data. 

With whom may we share your information?

When using your Personal Data for the purposes and on the legal basis described above, we may share your Personal Data with other service providers we work with. We may also have to share your Personal Data with regulators, public institutions, courts, or other third parties. 

For the purposes described above, from time to time, we may have to transfer your Personal Data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to a third party outside of the EEA and in a jurisdiction not subject to an adequacy decision of the European Commission. In such cases, we will always ensure that there is a legal basis and a relevant safeguard method for such data transfer so that your Personal Data is treated in a manner that is consistent with and respects the EU laws and other applicable laws and regulations on data protection. 

International Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect such data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These safeguards may include reliance on adequacy decisions issued by the relevant authorities, the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission,  and,  where applicable, the implementation of the UK  International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA). 

Your rights in relation to your information

You have rights as an individual, which you can exercise under certain circumstances in relation to your Personal Data that we hold. To do so, please contact your Data Protection Officer. These rights are to: 

1)   request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) and request certain information in relation to its processing; 

2)   request rectification of your Personal Data; 

3)   request the erasure of your Personal Data; 

4)   request and reuse your personal data (right to data portability); 

5)   request the restriction of processing of your Personal Data; and 

6)   object to the processing of your Personal Data. 

You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues or, as the case may be, any other competent supervisory authority of an EU member state. 

Right to withdraw consent

In case you have provided your consent to the collection, processing, and transfer of your Personal Data, you have the right to fully or partly withdraw your consent. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for further processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. In case we processed your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time, in which case we will no longer process your Personal Data for such marketing purposes. 

How long will we retain your information?

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we will consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. 

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer Personal Data. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, we will securely destroy your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.  

Fees 

You will in general, not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your individual rights mentioned in this Data Protection Privacy Notice. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request to exercise your individual rights in manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances. 

Changes to this Data Protection Privacy Notice

The Firm reserves the right to update this Data Protection Privacy Notice at any time, and we will make an updated copy available on our website.
