4. What personal information we collect
We may collect personal information from you in the course of our business, including through your use of our Site, when you contact or request information from us, when you engage our immigration or other services or as a result of your relationship with one or more of our partners, staff or clients.
Our primary goals in collecting personal information include verifying your identity, delivering our Services, improving and marketing Services, carrying out your requests, investigating or settling inquiries or disputes, complying with law and regulation, enforcing our agreements, protecting rights and safety, recruitment, and as otherwise required or permitted by law.
Depending on your relationship with us (site visitor, individual client, corporate instruction contact, third party whose data we process, or recruitment applicant), this may include name, contact details, payment information, identity and AML information, nationality, date of birth, occupation, case information, dietary or health-related information you volunteer for events, CVs and similar recruitment materials.
5. How we use your personal information
We may use your information to fulfil the Services under our Terms of Business, to respond to client service enquiries, for business administration and legal compliance (including KYC, AML and anti-bribery obligations), for recruitment, for marketing communications where lawful, and for client insight and analysis (including cookies, tags and similar technologies where permitted).
Our legal bases include performance of a contract, legitimate interests, legal obligation, and consent where required (including for certain marketing and cookie uses).
6. Who we share your personal information with
We may share personal information with professional advisers, insurers, regulators and tax authorities, outsourced service providers (for example IT, storage, translation and confidential waste), parties engaged in the course of a matter (such as counsel, experts, courts and opposing parties), analytics providers such as Google Analytics, and postal or courier providers — as necessary to deliver the Services effectively and lawfully.
7. Third party contractors and other controllers
We may work with partners or sub-contractor data processors as required to deliver the Services. We conduct appropriate due diligence and put contractual documentation in place so they process personal information according to our legal and regulatory obligations. We may also appoint external data controllers where necessary (for example accountants or barristers) and will put appropriate safeguards in place.
8. Where we transfer your data
In order to provide the Services we may need to transfer your personal information to locations outside the jurisdiction in which you provide it. Where necessary to deliver the Services we may transfer personal information outside the EEA. Before such transfers we use appropriate safeguards such as EU standard contractual clauses to ensure an adequate level of protection.
9. How long we keep your personal information
For visitors to the Site, we will retain relevant personal information for at least three years from the date of our last interaction with you, or longer if required by regulatory or professional indemnity obligations.
For Service provision to any client, we will retain relevant personal information for at least six years from the date of our last interaction with that client, or longer as required by our regulatory or professional indemnity obligations. We may then destroy such files without further notice or liability. Information used only for short campaigns may be deleted after use.
10. Confidentiality and security
We are committed to keeping the personal information provided to us secure and we have implemented appropriate information security policies, rules and technical measures to protect personal information under our control from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. Our partners, employees, consultants, workers and data processors who have access to personal information are obliged to respect its confidentiality.
11. Your rights
You have rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection (including to direct marketing), withdrawal of consent where applicable, and the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. Some rights may be limited where we have an overriding interest or legal obligation, or where data may be exempt due to legal professional privilege or professional secrecy obligations.
12. Third-party sites
The Site contains links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices as Chancery Solutions has no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.
13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of personal information or to comply with law or regulation. Where practicable we will notify you by email of significant changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
