Our Company will keep your data for the duration of time that you are a client or prospective client of the firm, after which we will store contact details for up to five years. This time period is driven by the regulatory need to retain records of customer contacts. Once this time period has expired, we will delete your data.

Transfers of Personal Information Across National Borders
Your personal information may be processed in countries outside the United Kingdom (“Third Country”), that may not offer the same level of data protection as that afforded by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). Where we transfer your personal information outside of the UK, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements applicable to the information. This can be done in a number of different ways, for instance:
- the Third Country to which we send the personal information may be approved by the Information Commissioner's Office;
- the recipient may have signed a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the Information Commissioner's Office, obliging them to protect your personal information and we may have completed a risk assessment satisfying ourselves that those clauses provide you with protection that is sufficiently similar to the protections you are afforded when your personal information is in the UK; or
- In other circumstances, the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your personal information outside the UK. In all cases, however, any transfer of your personal information will be compliant with applicable data protection law.
