This Privacy Policy only relates to the Website. Any links from the Website to other websites are provided for your convenience and do not imply endorsement by us of the content, the provider, or the way that your personal data is managed on those sites.
Information collected and how we use it
When you access or sign up to any of the Firm’s services — including newsletters, bulletins, competitions, webinars and contact forms — we may collect and process personal information such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, IP address and other information relating to you.
We will store and use your personal information for purposes such as administering and maintaining our relationship with you; providing services or information requested by you; providing you with further information about our products and services; and for auditing usage of the Website. Your information will not normally be disclosed to third parties except where that is necessary for fulfilment of our obligations to you, or we are obliged or permitted to do so by law.
Please note that when you make an enquiry with us either by email or telephone we may keep a record of the information that is supplied. We will store this data securely on our system and in line with our retention policy.
Marketing
Occasionally we may contact you with information we think may be of interest to you, such as details of events or competitions hosted by the Firm. If you prefer not to receive such promotional material, please notify us by emailing info@adamlawsolicitors.co.uk.
Use of your information outside the European Union
In order to provide you with requested products and services we may need to transfer your personal information to service partners based in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This does not diminish your rights. The Firm will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that any personal information transferred outside the EEA will be treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Security
The Firm has policies and technical measures in place to safeguard and protect your personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, improper use and disclosure. However, the internet is not completely secure and though we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of your data to us is done so at your own risk.
