6. How PSP collects and processes client data (PSP‑specific)

PSP may collect enquiry and client matter data, undertake identity verification and due diligence where required, process limited sensitive matter data only when necessary, and store client matter files in accordance with professional obligations. PSP acts as an independent controller for client engagements and will provide its engagement terms and privacy details to clients at the outset.

7. Data sharing and disclosure

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with:

  • PSP Legal – (PSP is a separate controller for data processed under its engagements)
  • Service providers (hosting, email, cloud storage, analytics) under Data Processing Agreements.
  • Professional advisers (accountants, auditors) under confidentiality obligations.
  • Regulatory or judicial authorities when required by law.
  • Client‑authorised third parties where you instruct us to share information.

8. Retention

We retain personal data only as necessary for the purpose and to meet legal/professional obligations:

  • Enquiry data: up to 12 months after last contact, then deleted or anonymised.
  • Website analytics: aggregated/anonymised data retained longer; raw logs typically deleted within 26 months. Specific retention periods available on request.

9. Your rights

Under PDPL you may (subject to verification and legal limits) request:

  • Access to your personal data;
  • Correction of inaccurate data;
  • Deletion/erasure (subject to retention obligations);
  • Restriction of processing;
  • Objection to processing (including profiling/legitimate interest grounds);
  • Data portability where applicable;
  • Withdraw consent where processing is consent‑based.

10. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data (TLS/HTTPS, access controls, secure cloud hosting, encryption where appropriate, staff training). No system is completely secure; in the event of a data breach we will notify affected parties and authorities as required by law.

11. Children

The website and services are not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we become aware of unlawful collection from a child, we will delete the data and notify guardians where required.
