Your Data Protection Rights
You have rights as a Data Subject under the General Data Protection Regulation as incorporated into the law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, known as the UK GDPR, and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Privacy Policy and Your Rights
Our Privacy Policy will be provided upon request. It contains important information on how and why we collect, process, and store your personal data. It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data.
Your rights include the right to be informed what information we hold about you, which is known as a Data Subject Access Request. You also have the right of access and to request a copy of any information about you that we hold at any time.
You also have a right of rectification and, in particular, to request that information is corrected if it is inaccurate.
Your Data Rights
There are also other rights available to you, but these may be limited to a certain extent should you become a client, as we may have overriding regulatory duties with respect to handling your data for the purposes of providing services to you.
The right of erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten, is not an absolute right. Once you become a client of our firm, we may be required by our regulators and for legal purposes to retain some of your personal data and other information within casefiles.
Complaints and ICO Rights
If you are concerned about our handling of your personal data, there are other rights available to you, including the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, the right to object and request that we stop processing your personal data, and rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.
Importantly, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you feel that your data is not being handled properly.
Further details are available by visiting the Information Commissioner’s Office website at: https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/

This will generally be six (6) years after the end of your matter.
For some cases, for instance where you or a named party are currently under the age of eighteen (18), we may decide that we are required and/or that it is proper and appropriate to keep your data for longer than this period. We will notify you if we believe that your case falls into this category.
