Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how Owner Bath Legal processes personal data in connection with ownerbathpuzzlenature.cam. It applies to visitors, prospective clients, and other persons who communicate with us through the website or related channels.
Purposes of Processing
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, manage communications, provide legal services or pre-engagement information, maintain the website, monitor security, analyse basic site performance, comply with legal duties, and manage records. We may also use data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and to support internal administration connected with our services.
Service Providers
We may share personal data with hosting, security, analytics, communication, and administrative service providers that support the operation of the website and our business. These parties act under instructions or contractual arrangements intended to limit use of the data to the relevant service. We may also share information with professional advisers where needed for legal, compliance, or operational purposes.
Legal Disclosure
We may disclose personal data to courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other public authorities when required to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights and the rights of others. We may also share information where disclosure is necessary in connection with legal proceedings or the prevention of fraud or misuse.
GDPR Overview
Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on a lawful basis such as consent, contract performance, legal obligation, or our legitimate interests, depending on the context. We apply data minimisation, purpose limitation, and storage limitation principles when handling personal data. If we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the impact on your rights and freedoms before processing.
GDPR Rights
Where applicable, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to request data portability in certain cases. If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent without affecting prior processing. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed.
Privacy Contact
Data We Collect
We may process identification details, contact details, company and role information, inquiry content, correspondence, technical data, and usage data. Where relevant, we may also process information contained in documents or messages you choose to send to us. We do not seek sensitive data unless it is necessary for a specific request or engagement.
How We Collect Data
We receive personal data when you complete forms, send messages, request information, or otherwise interact with the website. We also collect certain data automatically through logs, device identifiers, and cookie-based tools. In some cases, we may receive information from business contacts, service providers, or publicly available sources where this is relevant to our services.
Cookie Types
Essential cookies support basic site functions and security. Preference cookies remember selected settings. Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used so we can maintain and improve performance. Some cookies are session-based and expire when the browser closes, while others remain stored for a limited period.
Cookie Controls
We use standard controls to manage non-essential cookies where required. You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some site functions may not work properly if essential cookies are disabled. Where consent is used for certain cookies, you may withdraw it at any time through the available settings.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access your data, request correction, ask for deletion, object to certain processing, and request restriction in limited cases. You may also have the right to receive a copy of certain data in a structured format. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
How to Make a Request
Please provide enough detail for us to understand the request and locate the relevant records. If a request is complex or if we need more information, we may ask for clarification before responding. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, unless an extension is permitted.
Data Retention
Retention periods depend on the type of data, the reason for processing, and any legal, accounting, or dispute-related obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymise it, or otherwise restrict it so it is no longer actively used. Some records may be retained for a longer period where required by law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Policy Changes
When we make material changes, we will update the policy text and, where appropriate, provide notice through the website or other reasonable means. The date of the latest revision should be reviewed periodically. Continued use of the website after an update means the revised policy applies to the extent permitted by law.
