      Complete details on each type of Personal Data collected are provided in the dedicated sections of this privacy policy or by specific explanation texts displayed prior to the Data collection.
      Personal Data may be freely provided by the User, or, in case of Usage Data, collected automatically when using this Application.
      Unless specified otherwise, all Data requested by this Application is mandatory and failure to provide this Data may make it impossible for this Application to provide its services. In cases where this Application specifically states that some Data is not mandatory, Users are free not to communicate this Data without consequences to the availability or the functioning of the Service.
      Users who are uncertain about which Personal Data is mandatory are welcome to contact the Owner.
      Any use of Cookies – or of other tracking tools – by this Application or by the owners of third-party services used by this Application serves the purpose of providing the Service required by the User, in addition to any other purposes described in the present document and in the Cookie Policy, if available.

      Users are responsible for any third-party Personal Data obtained, published or shared through this Application and confirm that they have the third party's consent to provide the Data to the Owner.

      Mode and place of processing the Data
      Methods of processing
      The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data.
      The Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this Application (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time.

      Legal basis of processing
      The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:

      Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislations the Owner may be allowed to process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection law;
      provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
      processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;
      processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Owner;
      processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.
      In any case, the Owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

      Place
      The Data is processed at the Owner's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.

      Depending on the User's location, data transfers may involve transferring the User's Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data.

      Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of Data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to any international organization governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Data.

      If any such transfer takes place, Users can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this document or inquire with the Owner using the information provided in the contact section.

      Retention time
      Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for.

      Therefore:

      Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
      Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Owner.
      The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

      Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

      The Data concerning the User is collected to allow the Owner to provide its Services, as well as for the following purposes: Contacting the User.

      Details about the right to object to processing

      Privacy Policy of Manchesters Solicitors, trading as Manchester Durman.

      Introduction
      We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy explains how we handle your information when you interact with us, whether through our website, as a client, or in other ways. If you have any questions, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details provided at the end of this policy.

      What is personal data?

      Personal data refers to any information that can identify you as an individual, either directly or indirectly when combined with other data. This includes basic details like your name or contact information, as well as more sensitive details such as financial records or health information.

      What personal information do we collect about you?

      As a law firm specialising in non-contentious private client matters such as Wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney, and residential property law, we collect various types of personal data necessary for our services. This may include your name, address, email, phone number, date of birth, financial details, identification documents, and sensitive data like health information (e.g., for lasting powers of attorney) or details about family circumstances or source of funds and wealth. We obtain this information from you directly, from third parties involved in your matter (such as other professionals or family members with your consent), or through public sources where relevant. Our website may also automatically collect usage data, like IP addresses or browser details, via cookies or similar technologies—please refer to our Cookie Policy for more information.

      How do we collect data?

      We gather data through direct interactions, such as when you fill out forms on our website, email us, call our office, or engage us for legal services. This includes initial inquiries, signing contracts, providing instructions during your matter, or attending meetings. We may also receive data from external sources, like referring professionals or regulatory bodies, always ensuring it aligns with data protection requirements.

      How will we use the information that we collect?

      We use your data primarily to provide our legal services, manage your instructions, and fulfill our professional obligations. This includes preparing documents, communicating with you, verifying your identity to comply with anti-money laundering rules, and handling payments. We may also use it for internal purposes like auditing, improving our services, or sending you updates about legal changes relevant to your interests, unless you opt out. Please note that, as a firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), we may be required to allow the SRA to inspect client files and data for regulatory purposes, such as audits or investigations.

      What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

      We process your data based on several lawful grounds:
      To perform our contract with you or take steps before entering a contract (e.g., providing a quote).
      To comply with legal obligations, including those under SRA rules, anti-money laundering laws, and court requirements.
      With your consent, for specific purposes like marketing or processing sensitive health data.
      For our legitimate interests, such as maintaining records for quality control or defending potential claims, provided this does not override your rights.

      For sensitive (special category) data, we rely on explicit consent or other bases like establishing legal claims.

      Marketing

      We may use your contact details to inform you about our services, events, or legal updates that we believe may interest you. You can opt out at any time by contacting us, and we will not use your data for marketing if you have not consented or if you withdraw consent. We retain marketing preferences for a reasonable period to honour your choices.

      Do we disclose your information to anyone else?

      We share data only when necessary, such as with barristers, experts, courts, or other parties involved in your legal matter. We may also engage third-party service providers for IT support, document storage, or compliance checks, ensuring they are bound by contracts to protect your data. In rare cases, we disclose information to regulators like the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) via secure web links, law enforcement, or in the event of a firm merger. We do not sell your data and take steps to ensure any international transfers comply with UK GDPR safeguards.

      How do you keep my information secure?

      We implement robust security measures, including encryption for electronic data, secure storage for physical files, access controls, and regular staff training on data protection. We verify identities before sharing information and monitor for potential breaches. While no system is infallible, we strive to minimize risks and notify you and authorities if a breach occurs that affects your rights.

      How long will you retain my data for?

      We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes collected, including legal and regulatory requirements. For client files, we typically retain information for at least 6 years after a matter concludes, or longer (e.g., 15 years for Wills or probate) to meet SRA standards and potential future needs like claims. Once no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

      Contact us for details on specific retention periods.

      What are your rights?

      Under UK GDPR, you have rights regarding your data, including:Access: Request a copy of your data.
      Rectification: Correct inaccurate information.
      Erasure: Ask for deletion in certain circumstances (though legal obligations may prevent this).
      Restriction: Limit processing while issues are resolved.
      Portability: Receive your data in a transferable format.
      Objection: Challenge processing based on legitimate interests or for marketing.

      These rights are not absolute and depend on the context. To exercise them, contact our Data Protection Officer—we respond within one month, free of charge unless requests are excessive.If dissatisfied, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.

      We review this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or laws. Updates will be posted on our website, with the date of the last revision noted below. Significant changes may be notified directly if we hold your contact details.
