How All Legal Solicitors collects, uses and protects your personal information.
This privacy notice explains how we use personal information about you in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We take our responsibilities towards your personal information seriously and will only use it in the ways described below.
All Legal Solicitors Ltd, 32 Park Road, Unit 3, Peterborough, PE1 2TD, is the data controller for the personal information we hold about you. Authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), registration number: 652165. You can contact us by telephone on 01733 530991 or by email at info@alllegal.co.uk if you have any questions about this privacy notice or the way we use your information.
We collect personal information you provide directly to us, such as your name, contact details, date of birth, identification documents and information about your legal matter. We may also collect information provided by third parties, such as referees, medical professionals or public bodies, where this is relevant to your case.
We use your personal information to provide legal advice and services, to comply with our professional and regulatory obligations (including anti-money laundering checks and conflict searches), to communicate with you about your matter, and to maintain accurate records. Where we process your information, we rely on the performance of our contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests, and your consent where applicable.
We retain your file and personal information for a period of at least 6 years from the conclusion of your matter, in accordance with our regulatory obligations and Limitation Act considerations. Some documents, such as Wills and deeds, may be retained for longer.
We will only share your information where it is necessary — for example with barristers, experts, courts, tribunals, other parties' solicitors, and service providers who help us run our practice (such as IT and payment providers). We never sell your personal information. We may transfer information to other solicitors if you instruct us to do so or if we cease acting with your consent.
You have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, and in some circumstances to ask us to delete or restrict the use of your information or object to our processing. You can also ask us to provide your information to another service provider. If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk or by telephone on 0303 123 1113.
