What we collect
When you use this website, we may collect:
- Information you give us. Anything you enter into the case review form or send by email: your name, contact details, country, a description of what happened, and the details of the company or platform involved.
- Technical information. Standard web server records, which may include IP address, browser type, pages requested and the time of the request.

We ask you not to send passwords, private keys, seed or recovery phrases, authentication codes or full identification-document numbers through this website. If such information is submitted, we will delete it rather than retain it.
Why we use it, and on what basis

- To provide legal services where an engagement is entered into.
- To meet professional, regulatory and record-keeping obligations that apply to law firms.
- To operate and secure the website.
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on your request that we take steps prior to entering into a contract, on the performance of that contract, on our legal obligations, and on our legitimate interest in operating a secure website. TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE FIRM — final legal bases, and whether GDPR or other regimes apply to the firm’s clients
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for marketing. We may share it with service providers who host the website and handle email on our behalf, with professional advisers or co-counsel where that is necessary for your matter and you are told about it, and with courts, regulators or law enforcement where we are required or permitted to do so. TO BE CONFIRMED — named hosting, email and case-management providers
Confidentiality and privilege
Information you give the firm is treated confidentially in accordance with applicable law and our professional obligations. Please note the distinction between confidentiality and legal privilege: information sent through this website before an attorney‑client relationship has been established may not be protected as a privileged communication. If you are concerned about this, contact the firm by telephone before sending detailed information.
How long we keep it
Inquiries that do not become matters are retained for a limited period and then deleted. Client files are retained for the period required by professional and regulatory obligations. TO BE CONFIRMED — actual retention periods
Security
The website is served over an encrypted connection and access to inquiry data is limited to those who need it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, which is the reason for the request above about credentials.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict its use, and to complain to a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details above. TO BE CONFIRMED — the specific rights framework that applies, and the relevant supervisory authority
