Our Commitment to You
We are committed to protecting your privacy and to complying with the data protection laws in the UK. In consequence, we collect the minimum amount of information about you that is commensurate with providing you with a satisfactory service.
What is the purpose and legal basis for us to collect and process your personal data?
The main purpose is for identification and to enable us to deliver the services that you request and to provide you with any follow-up that is required.
If you buy templates from this website, we need your contact details for the purchasing process. PayPal collects and processes the credit/debit card/PayPal account information that you supply.
We also have to retain records for legal, tax and accounting reasons.
In addition, so long as you freely give us your consent, we will occasionally send you, by email, news and information concerning our services and the law.
What personal data will be collected and processed?
This will depend on the services we provide but it will usually include your name, address, telephone number, and email address. This will be retained and used (processed) for the purposes referred to above.
Who will receive your personal data?
Personal data relating to clients is kept on a secure website at our office.
In the case of sales of templates from this website, data collected at the time of sale is kept on a secure server in the UK. Data concerning your credit/debit card payments is obtained and processed by PayPal on a secure website linked to ours and they have their own privacy policy that you should read.
We do not give anyone access to personal data unless we are required to by law or the access is for our own legal team performing their services for you. In common with all solicitors, we are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to the services we provide. If we ever wish to process your personal data for purposes other than those specified in this notice, we will notify you with relevant information and, if necessary, seek your consent.
How long will we keep your personal data?
We will usually keep personal data for as long as you remain a client and/or for as long as necessary for legal and tax reasons. After that, until you ask us in writing to delete your personal data, we will keep it to enable us to contact you as mentioned earlier in this notice.

You have the right to:
• ask us in writing for details of the personal data that we hold on you
• require us to rectify any errors
• have your personal data deleted if there is no reason for its continued storage and processing
