Privacy of Your Data
We will not use your personal data for any other purpose, nor disclose it to nor share it with any third party, without your consent unless we are required to do so by law, or as mentioned below in this section.
Other professionals and other bodies
In the course of providing professional services, we may require the services of third parties such as counsel, external / overseas lawyers, accountants and experts, or we may refer you to such third parties. This will require us to share with such third parties your contact details, as well as any further personal data which is relevant to the services they provide. We may also be required to disclose your personal data to regulators, by order of the court or to government departments.
Data processing services
Some of our data processing services may be supplied by third-party providers who will need to have access to your data for that purpose. We will appoint such third-party suppliers on the basis that they implement the technical and organisational measures necessary to meet the requirements of the applicable Data Protection legislation and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subjects. We will also ensure that they carry out such processing only on our written instructions, or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so, as indicated above.
Professional or business contacts
If you have given us your professional or business contact details or other relevant personal data, we may use such data for the purposes of promoting our legal services, unless you indicate otherwise.
Sharing Your Data
In order to provide some of our professional services, we may need to share your personal data with one or more third-party providers situated in foreign countries that do not have the same standards of data protection laws. We will only do so with your consent, or where it is necessary for the performance of the contract we have with you. However, we will ensure that contractual and other safeguards are in place so that your personal data is adequately protected, and that enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.
How Long Do We Retain Your Data?
Should you contact us with an enquiry about our professional services but subsequently not become a client (or the company or other person you represent does not do so), it is Clarence Risk policy to delete your personal data after 12 months.
If you already are you or become a client (or the company or other person you represent is or becomes a client), we normally retain contract information (including personal data) for seven years after the end of the relevant contract or client relationship, or for longer where it is necessary for us to do so to comply with regulatory or other legal obligations, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or where we agree with you to do so. In some cases we may need to retain records indefinitely.
Personal data relating to our professional relationship will be retained for so long as necessary, or until you indicate otherwise to us. We aim to update our contacts’ preferences on a regular basis.
In cases where it is not physically possible to delete certain data (for example, where it is stored on a secure external server), we will take the necessary measures to ensure that it is not available for re-use or disclosure to third parties.
Your Rights Over Your Data
At any time, you can ask us to provide you with an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have given us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we have about you. We will do, however this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
