Website delivery and server logs
When you visit our website, the web server processes your IP address and request so it can deliver the page you requested. For troubleshooting and to protect against attacks, the server logs record your IP address, the date and time of the request, the requested URLs, HTTP status codes, the amount of data transferred, and browser and referrer information. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a stable and secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Our hosting provider processes the data on our behalf. Server logs are deleted within seven days. To protect the server, the hosting provider uses a web application firewall (ModSecurity) and malware scanning (ImunifyAV) on the server.
Contacting us
When you contact us by phone or email, we process your contact details and the information you provide to respond to your enquiry. Where an enquiry concerns entering into or performing an engagement, we process the data under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where its conditions are met. For other enquiries, we rely on our legitimate interest in dealing with the enquiry (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where a statutory retention obligation applies, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
The people at the firm who deal with the enquiry can access the data. Where necessary for our operations, the IT and email service providers we engage in the European Economic Area can also access it.
We delete data from general enquiries once we have finished dealing with the enquiry and expect no further correspondence about it. Exceptions apply where the data has been added to a client file, is subject to a statutory retention obligation or is needed to establish, exercise or defend a specific legal claim. We delete such data when the applicable retention period ends or the reason for keeping it no longer applies.
Providing your data is voluntary. If you do not provide enough information about your enquiry or a way to reach you, we may be unable to respond.
Cookies, analytics and external links
The website code does not use cookies, web tracking or embedded maps. Our hosting provider confirms that Plesk does not set additional cookies or insert scripts during a normal page visit. The directions links open Google Maps when you select them. The linked provider’s privacy information then applies.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, you may request access to your data, correction or erasure of your data, and restriction of processing. You have the right to data portability where the conditions in Article 20 GDPR are met. Where we rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation under Article 21 GDPR.
Under Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the authority where you live or the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
