Information Collected
Information may include your name, contact details, organisation, enquiry and correspondence, together with information necessary to manage an advisory engagement.
The website’s hosting provider may also collect technical information, including IP addresses, browser details and security logs.
Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information or confidential operational details through the general enquiry form.
How Information is Used
Personal information is used to:
The lawful basis is contract where processing is necessary for an agreement with you or steps you request before entering one; legitimate interests for business correspondence, service administration and security; and legal obligation for statutory recordkeeping.
Where consent is relied upon, it may be withdrawn at any time.
Providing enquiry information is voluntary, but insufficient information may prevent a response or delivery of services.
Sharing and Transferring Information
Information may be shared where necessary with hosting, email and IT providers, professional advisers, and authorities where legally required. Personal information is not sold.
Retention and Security
Information is retained according to its purpose, contractual requirements, legal obligations and any need to establish or defend legal claims.
For client services, the retention period can be the duration of the contract plus one year after completion. Contract is a lawful basis only where processing is necessary for a contract with the individual, or pre-contract steps they request. Website logs, cookies and contacts acting for corporate clients may require a separate basis.
Appropriate technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information.
