Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the website or our services, we may collect your name, contact details, information you submit through the eligibility checker or enquiry form, information about the person receiving care, health and care information, financial and payment information, identification and verification information, correspondence, documents and records provided to us, and technical information about use of the website.

Why we use personal information

We use information to respond to enquiries, assess whether we may be able to assist, provide legal services, communicate with clients and prospective clients, comply with professional and legal obligations, prevent fraud and protect the firm and its clients, operate and secure the website, keep appropriate business records, and improve our services.

Our lawful bases

The lawful basis depends on the circumstances. It may include taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performing a contract, complying with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and protecting a regulated legal practice. Where special-category information such as health information is processed, we rely on an additional lawful condition permitted by UK data-protection law, including where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or otherwise permitted for legal services.

Who we may share information with

Where necessary and lawful, information may be shared with people involved in your matter, NHS bodies and other public authorities, medical and care professionals, experts, counsel, courts and tribunals, professional advisers, regulators, insurers, identity or compliance providers, IT and secure hosting providers, and other suppliers acting for us. We do not sell personal information.

How long we keep information

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet professional, regulatory, insurance, tax and legal requirements. Retention periods vary according to the nature of the enquiry or matter.

Your rights

Subject to the law and any applicable exemptions, you may have rights to access your personal information, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request erasure or restriction, object to certain processing, and request transfer of information in some circumstances. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Security

We use proportionate technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information. No internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so please do not send information through the website that is unnecessary for an initial enquiry.
