www.solveresolicitors.com (the “Website”) is provided by Blake O'Donnell, trading as Solvere Solicitors (“we” / “us” / “our”). As the controller of any personal information we receive through the Website, we provide this Privacy Notice to explain our approach. It forms part of our Terms of Business and should be read alongside them.

We process personal information only fairly and transparently, as required by data protection law including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). You can browse much of this Website without providing any information about yourself or accepting non-essential cookies.

Place of business: 4th Floor, Silverstream House, 45 Fitzroy Street, London W1T 6EB.
Data protection contact: info@solveresolicitors.com.

2. When we collect information

We will only collect personal information relating to you where one of the following applies: you have told us you are content for us to do so for a specified purpose; the processing is necessary to perform a contract with you; the processing is necessary to comply with the law; or the processing is necessary for our or another's legitimate interests, balanced against your own interests.

3. Information we collect

We may collect:

• Identity and contact data — your name, firm, email address and any phone number, when you contact us, request a scoping call, or sign up for regulatory updates.
• Correspondence data — the content of your enquiry and our communications with you.
• Technical and usage data — such as IP address, browser type and version, time-zone and certain details about how you use the Website, collected using cookies and similar technologies.

4. How we use your information

We use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected, which typically include: responding to your enquiry and identifying you when you contact us; managing our relationship with you; sending you regulatory updates where you have asked to receive them; and improving the Website. Where we rely on consent — for example, to send you updates — you can withdraw it at any time by contacting us.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers who process data on our behalf under a written contract that requires them to protect it; where required for legal or regulatory purposes, or in connection with legal proceedings; and, where relevant, with another controller, in which case we will tell you first. Some providers may be located outside the UK; where they are, we take steps reasonably necessary to ensure your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Notice and the UK GDPR.

6. Keeping your information secure

We maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information, and we use appropriate technology to protect information in transit. Please remember that communications over the internet are not fully secure unless encrypted.

7. Your rights

Under data protection law you have rights including the right to request access to your personal information, to request correction or erasure, to object to or request restriction of processing, and to data portability. You also have the right to complain at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (the UK regulator for data protection), at www.ico.org.uk.
