Privacy Notice
KM Lawyers Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 02333941.
This notice sets out our policy for protecting and respecting your privacy and any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, and that will be processed by us.
Basis for processing personal data.
Personal data is any information which can (or could be used to) identify a living person.
Where you ask us to provide services to you, we will process your personal data to provide these services to you and will need certain personal information about you to provide the services to you.
We may use third party service providers to help provide our services. In order to do this, we may have to provide some of your information to them and we will do this to the extent necessary to provide services to you when we have contractual provisions in place to ensure your information is securely held and not used for any other purpose.
To improve how we provide our services and security arrangements we may analyse certain personal data and may engage third parties to assist us with this. We will do this only when we have contractual provisions in place to ensure your information is securely held and not used for any other purpose.
The legal basis on which we process your personal data is our legitimate interest to optimise client engagement and inform future services and to ensure that our website is kept secure.
We have a legitimate interest to contact you in relation to your experience of using our services. We will use any feedback to improve our services. We may also conduct research to develop new services where user experience may inform our approach.
We may create anonymised data sets of information which cannot be used to identify a living person. Anonymised data is not personal data.
For marketing purposes we may contact you if your engagement with us suggests you might want to hear from us. You can always let us know you would prefer not to be contacted by emailing enquiries@kmlawyers.online and stating that you wish to be removed from our marketing list.
We may use your personal information to generate aggregated, anonymised data for the purposes of internal reporting analysis and marketing. This will enable us to improve our services.
In the event that we buy or sell this business or any part or notify an insurer of our performance or claims we may disclose your personal data to a buyer, insurer or professional adviser. The legal basis on which we process your personal data in these circumstances is our legitimate interest to ensure our business can be continued. If you object to our use of your personal data in this way, please let us know and note that continuity of services may be affected.
