Our staff, drivers, and subcontractors sign our internal confidentiality obligations for processing your data. Further, we may also share your data with:

We do not request you direct debit payments or share any of your financial sensitive information with any of our staff members, drivers, sub-contractors and third-party partners without due protection and encryption of your information.

To bring services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the UK and/or European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.:

  • with our offices or other companies within our group located outside the UK/EEA;
  • with your and our service providers located outside the UK/EEA;
  • if you are based outside the UK/EEA;
  • where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These data transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection laws. We can only transfer your personal information to a country or international organization outside the UK/EEA where:

  • the European Commission has issued an ‘adequacy decision’ about that country or international organization or
  • there are proper safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects or
  • a specific exception applies under data protection law.

These are explained below.

The European Commission has the authority to decide whether a country or international organization provides a satisfactory level of protection for personal information and, if it does, to issue an ’adequacy decision’. The impact of such a decision is that personal information can be transferred from the UK/ EEA to that country without any added protections.

It may take several years for the European Commission to issue an adequacy decision and only a few countries currently benefit from one. If we transfer personal information to a country, we will ensure it has the benefit of an adequacy decision.

We may transfer your data to a third country or international organization on this ground, where we are assured the transfer follows data protection law, appropriate protections are in place, and enforceable rights and effective legal remedies are available for data subjects.

The safeguards will usually include using standard data protection contract clauses approved by the European Commission.

In the absence of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, we may transfer personal information to a third country or international organization where an exception applies under relevant data protection law, e.g.:

  • you have explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks;
  • the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between us or to take pre-contract measures at your request;
  • the transfer is necessary for a contract in your interests, between us and another person; or
  • the transfer is necessary to prove, exercise or defend legal claims

We may also transfer information for the purpose of our compelling legitimate interests, so long as those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights, and freedoms. Specific conditions apply to such transfers, and we will provide relevant information when we look to transfer your personal information on this ground.

If you would like further information about data transferred outside the UK or EEA, please contact us.

We will keep your personal data after we have performed our contract or completed the task assigned by you. We will do so for one of these reasons:

  • to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf;
  • to show that we treated you fairly;
  • to keep records required by law.

We will not keep your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and by the law. Different retention periods apply for diverse types of data. After retention period, your personal data is securely disposed of.

You have control over your information. You have the following rights, which you can exercise free of charge according to the UK and the EU laws:

Information Right: You have the right to know what information about you is collected, how it is being processed, and how long it is being kept.

For more information on each of those rights, including the situations in which they apply, please get in touch with us, or see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individuals’ rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email, call, or write to us, and

  • let us have sufficient information to find you (e.g., your full name, address, and client or matter reference number);
  • let us have evidence of your identity and address (a copy of your driver’s license or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill) and
  • let us know what right you choose to exercise and the information to which your request concerns.

We have appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed unlawfully. We restrict access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will let you know and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
