Why does Abinelle Solicitors collect personal data?
Abinelle Solicitors uses personal data to fulfil any contractual obligations that exist between us and yourself. Where we request that you provide personal data in order to enter into, or meet, the terms of any such contract, you will be required to provide this relevant personal data or we will not be able to deliver the services you require. In these cases, the lawful basis of us processing the personal data is that it is necessary for the performance of a contract.
We are required by law to process personal data for purposes relating to our legal obligations. We may also process personal data where we have received consent to do so, or where processing is within our legitimate business interests — including enhancing the security measures that protect the data we are responsible for.
You may withdraw your consent for us to process your personal data for consent-based purposes at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing beforehand.
Special category and criminal offence personal data
In the course of our services, we may be required to collect and use sensitive personal information, which is information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union activities, physical or mental health, sexual life and sexual orientation or details of criminal offences, or genetic or biometric data.
Where Special Categories or Criminal Offence Personal Data is processed, one or more lawful bases will apply, including where Abinelle Solicitors has received explicit consent.
Where does Abinelle Solicitors obtain personal data from?
We will collect personal data directly from you in various ways. This could include when you complete an online form, or if you provide the data directly to a representative of Abinelle Solicitors.
We collect some personal data from publicly accessible sources. We may also gather personal data from technical functionality that automatically gathers data from computer equipment when people visit our online platforms.
Who will Abinelle Solicitors share personal data with?
To achieve the purposes for which we process your personal data, we may have to share your personal data with certain third parties. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that any third party we share your personal data with is also compliant with data protection law.
The kinds of third parties we may share your personal data with include Abinelle Solicitors’s professional advisors, insurers and insurance providers, and other organisations necessary to carry out your instructions (such as courts or the Home Office).
Where will Abinelle Solicitors store personal data?
Abinelle Solicitors will not transfer your personal data to any country other than those that have been granted an adequacy decision under the General Data Protection Regulation or where there are appropriate safeguards in place to assure protection of personal data.
We may share your personal data with third-party organisations who then transfer the data. We will take all reasonable measures to ensure those third parties are also compliant with data protection law.
How long will Abinelle Solicitors keep your personal data?
We will keep your personal data only for as long as required to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, in line with this privacy notice.
- All purposes for which the data was originally gathered have become irrelevant or obsolete;
- It has been requested that we no longer process the data and that it is erased; in some cases, where there is a remaining relevant or legal reason why we are required to keep this data, we may opt to restrict the amount of processing being conducted to what is absolutely necessary rather than erase it.
Your rights, our responsibility
There are several rights immediately granted to you on providing us with your personal information. At Abinelle Solicitors, we take your rights seriously and will always conduct ourselves in a way that is considerate of our responsibility to serve your legal rights.
You have the right to confirm whether or not your personal data is being processed, and to be provided with relevant details of those processing operations and what personal data of yours is being processed. If you would like access to the personal data we have about you, please contact us using the details below.
If you notice that the data we have about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request we rectify the data. You also have the right to request your personal data be deleted (the ‘right to be forgotten’). This is not an absolute right; we would erase as much of that data as we could, but may need to retain some information if it is necessary.
In certain circumstances, you also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data and to ask us to block, erase and restrict your personal data. If you would like us to stop using your personal data, please contact us.
How to complain
We will always try to maintain the highest standards and encourage the confidence our clients have in us as an organisation. To achieve this, we request that any complaints be brought to our attention in the first place so we can properly investigate matters. If you wish to complain about Abinelle Solicitors to a regulatory body, you can do so by contacting your local data protection supervisory authority.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk/concerns or by telephone on 0303 123 1113.
