Contract or steps before entering into a contract

We may process your personal data to respond to your enquiry, prepare your file, provide requested services or take steps before entering into a client relationship.

Legal obligation

Where applicable, we may process personal data to comply with legal or regulatory obligations that apply to us.

Consent

Where we rely on your consent, for example for certain optional marketing communications, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

  1. Where your data is stored

Your personal data may be stored within our Google Workspace environment, including Gmail and Google Drive.

We take steps to limit access to personal data to authorised persons who need access for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

We do not sell your personal data.

  1. International clients and transfers

Our clients may be located outside the United Kingdom, including in Turkey, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries.

These measures may include:

  • secure document storage within Google Drive;
  • avoiding unnecessary sharing of sensitive documents by WhatsApp or unsecured e-mail;
  • limiting document access to authorised persons involved in the matter;
  • keeping records of document sharing where appropriate;
  • deleting or restricting access to documents when no longer required.

You should avoid sending sensitive documents by WhatsApp or unsecured e-mail unless necessary. Where possible, we will provide a secure upload method.

  1. How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

The retention period may depend on the nature of your enquiry, whether a transaction proceeds, whether we have an ongoing relationship with you, and whether we need to keep records for legal, regulatory, accounting or dispute-resolution purposes.

As a general approach:

  • enquiry records may be kept for up to 6 months if no transaction proceeds;
  • client and transaction files may be kept for up to 5 years after completion or the end of our relationship, unless a longer period is required;
  • marketing contact details may be kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to stop contacting you;
  • documents that are no longer required will be deleted, anonymised or securely archived.
