PRIVACY POLICY

Various forms on our site invite you to submit your contact details and other information about yourself or your organization, or if you send us emails which will, of course, also identify you.

In each case, the purpose for which you are invited to give us information is clear and we also indicate which of the requested information is essential for the relevant purpose and which is optional; fields for essential information are marked with an asterisk. We will not use your information for purposes that are not clear when you provide your details, and will not disclose it outside Watson Fowler Attorneys at Law, except when you agree or where we are legally obliged to do so.

We monitor visits to our website by recording the IP address (which identifies your computer and its location on the internet) of visitors to our site. This data enables us to become more familiar with which people visit our site, how often they visit, and what parts of the site they visit most often. This is principally so that we can make sure that it is easy to navigate, identify the areas that are of particular interest to visitors and generally improve the site and our services. We do not seek to identify individual visitors unless they volunteer their contact details through one of the forms on our site.

Our website uses cookies (small data files which are downloaded to your computer) so that we can recognize that your computer has visited the site before. We do not use cookies to identify you, just to improve your experience of the site, for example, by allowing the site to remember your bookmarks and language preference. You can if you wish set your internet browser so that it will not automatically download cookies; this will not prevent you from using our site. The exact steps necessary to block cookies vary from browser to browser and are generally explained in the “Help” section of the browser. For further information about cookies, including how to set your internet browser to reject cookies, please see www.allaboutcookies.org.

We carefully use data storage and security techniques to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification or unlawful destruction or accidental loss. All our employees [and any third parties we engage to process your personal information] are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your information.

If you have any questions about our privacy policies, want to exercise your right to see a copy of the information that we hold about you, or think that information we hold about you may need to be corrected, want to delete all or any part of it or to object to the processing on legitimate grounds, please submit a contact form addressing the matter.
