Others who may receive or have access to your personal data

Our suppliers and service providers

36. When we use third party service providers, we only disclose to them any personal data that is necessary for them to provide their services and we have an agreement in place that requires them to keep your data secure and not to use it other than in accordance with our specific instructions.

Others involved in your case or matter

  1. Our work for you may require us to provide information to third parties such as law firms, estate agents, lenders and other professional advisers who will use your information in connection with your case or matter (see paragraphs 6 to 13 for a list of third parties we deal with).

Other ways in which we may share your personal data

However, we will always take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Where we store your personal data 

46. All information you provide to us for our use is stored on our secure servers which are located within the UK. The third parties listed under Others who may receive and have access to your personal data may be located outside of the UK or they may transfer your data outside of the UK. Those countries may not have the same standards of data protection and privacy laws as in the UK, which means additional safeguards must be put in place.

47. We will not transfer your personal data to other countries unless we have in place appropriate safeguards, such as:

  • The countries where the data is transferred are covered by the UK adequacy regulations. These countries have been assessed and approved by the UK government as having adequate protection of personal data;
  • The transfer is based on standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) as applicable, ensuring appropriate safeguards. This may include requiring the recipients of the data to protect your personal data to the same standard required in the UK;
  • The transfer is based on a derogation for specific situations, as permitted by the data protection law; or
  • Where the recipient subscribed to a UK approved international framework, intended to enable secure international transfers.

How long will we keep your personal data for

48. If we collect your personal data, the length of time for which we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the type of data, the purpose for which we use that data and our regulatory and legal obligations attached to this use.

49. We maintain internally a full schedule of types of data and the specified period of time for which we will retain this.

50. Typically, the retention criteria are as follows for the following data types:

 

Personal Data and Retention Period

Queries and claims
Minimum of 7 years

Potential instructions
6 months in conveyancing and

Recruitment data
Up to 12 months after candidate application

For legal and regulatory requirements
Time periods above might vary depending on legal and regulatory requirements

51. The only exceptions to this are where:

  • the law requires us to hold your personal data for a longer period, or delete it sooner;
  • you exercise your right to have the data erased (where it applies) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted or required under the law (see Erasing your personal data or restricting its processing); or
  • in limited cases, the law permits us to keep your personal data indefinitely provided we have certain protections in place.

Your Rights

52. You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under data protection legislation. In relation to certain rights, we may ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, or clarification to enable us to find your personal data.

Transferring your personal data in a structured data file

64. Where we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal data or need to process it in connection with your contract, as set out under How we use your personal data, you may ask us to provide you with a copy of that data in a structured data file.
