Notice at Collection and Your Choices

California and several other states require a short notice at or before the point of collection, separate from the full privacy notice, so that you are not asked to read twelve pages to find out what happens to a form. This is that notice. The Privacy Notice is the long version and it governs where the two differ in detail.

Categories we collect

• Identifiers. Your name, the contact channel you choose and your handle or number on it, your platform handle or profile URL, and the IP address your request arrives from.
• Commercial information. The matter type, the value band you select, and the record of what was scoped, agreed or declined.
• Internet activity. Which pages you viewed and whether you started or completed a case review. Collected only if you accept measurement.
• Professional information. Whatever you choose to tell us about the account, business or profile the matter concerns.
• Inferences. None. We do not build a profile of you and we do not infer characteristics from your behaviour.
• Sensitive personal information. We do not ask for it and do not want it. Where an official platform submission genuinely requires an identity document, we tell you at that point, use it for that submission only, and delete it afterwards. We never use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics, which is the use you have a right to limit.

Why we collect it

• To assess your matter and tell you whether a route exists.
• To contact you about that matter on the channel you chose.
• To perform the engagement and keep a record of it.
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse of the form.
• To understand, if you accepted measurement, which pages and which advertisements produce enquiries.

How long we keep it

Each category has a stated period, set out in full in our Data Retention Schedule. In summary: an enquiry record for twenty four months from last contact, financial records for seven years, server logs for thirty days or less, and credentials or identity documents only for as long as the specific route needs them.

We do not sell or share your personal information

We do not sell personal information for money or any other valuable consideration, and we do not share it for cross context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended and by the comparable laws of other states. We have not done so in the preceding twelve months. There is therefore no opt out for us to operate, and no Do Not Sell link that would do anything if you clicked it. We say this rather than publishing a link that leads nowhere.

We honour Global Privacy Control automatically in any event. If your browser sends the signal we treat it as a decline of all measurement and we do not ask you the question at all.

Your choices, in one place

• Measurement. Use the Cookies and privacy control in the footer of any page. It works before you have chosen and after, and declining is exactly as easy as accepting.
• Access, correction, deletion, portability and limiting sensitive information. Email the desk. Our Data Rights page sets out the process and the timeframes.
• An authorised agent may act for you where the applicable law allows, with written authority.
• Non discrimination. Exercising any of these rights will never change the service you get or the price you pay.
