Privacy policy

Antony Clapp Solicitors are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect about you, or that you provide to us, will be processed, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.  Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Information we may collect from you

We may collect and process the following data about you: 

• Information that you provide by filling in forms on our site. When you send us your details we need to know your name, e-mail address, telephone number, and brief details of the nature of your enquiry.
• Details of your visits to our site (including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data) and the resources that you access.

Uses made of information

• We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.
• We do not sell or otherwise make data commercially available to any third party.

Cookies and information gathering technologies  

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us: 

• To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.
• To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interests.
• To speed up your searches.
• To recognise you when you return to our site.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.

How we protect your information

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Our computer systems are restricted to authorised users by our Firewall and by the use of passwords both on our computer system and database. We also keep your information confidential. The internal procedures of Antony Clapp Solicitors cover the storage, access and disclosure of your information. We are also bound by our professional rules of conduct to ensure that any correspondence passing between us is kept confidential.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise this right at any time by contacting us at enquiries@antonyclapp.co.uk.

Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates.  If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.  Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

Your consent

By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things,  the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Access to information

The Data Protection Act (see www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk) gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

Updating your details

If any of the information that you have provided to us changes, for example if you change your e-mail address, name or if you wish to withdraw your enquiry or your application, please let us know the correct details by sending an e-mail to enquiries@antonyclapp.co.uk.

Changes to our privacy policy

Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.
