9 King's Bench Walk Privacy Policy

Purpose of this Policy

This privacy policy applies to our use of any and all data collected by us or provided by you.

Please read this policy carefully

What is a Privacy Policy and why do we have one?

A privacy policy explains what categories of personal data we hold and how we store, disclose and secure that personal data. It tells you the contact details of the person designated as responsible for data privacy and the supervisory authority (in the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office). The purpose of the statement is to inform data subjects what their data is being used for and who they can contact if they have any questions or complaints. 

Data subjects are any living individual to whom personal data relates. Personal data means any information held in relation to an identifiable person. This is a person that can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier (which includes their name, identification number, location data or an online identifier).

Why is a new Privacy Policy needed for GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force in May 2018, directly applicable to the UK. It develops and increases the obligations of data controllers set out under the Data Protection 1998 (DPA).

Articles 13 and 14 contain specific requirements for the content and presentation of privacy policies. They are more detailed then the provisions in the DPA 1998 that is currently in force and place an emphasis on making privacy notices understandable and accessible. Key changes include new disclosure requirements, expanded definitions of important terms and new style and formatting requirements.

  • Whether it is intended that the data will be processed for any other purpose then that which the data was collected;
  • Whether the provision of personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or necessary to enter into a contract, and the consequences of failing to provide the information; and
  • The source of the data, if the data was not obtained from the data subject.

Transfer of your information outside the United Kingdom (UK)

This privacy notice is of general application and as such it is not possible to state whether it will be necessary to transfer your information out of the UK in any particular case or for a reference. However, if you reside outside the UK or your case or the role for which you require a reference involves persons or organisations or courts and tribunals outside the UK then it may be necessary to transfer some of your information to that country outside of the UK for that purpose. If you are in a country outside the UK or if the instructions you provide come from outside the UK then it is inevitable that information will be transferred to those countries. If this applies to you and you wish additional precautions to be taken in respect of your information please indicate this when providing initial instructions.

Some countries and organisations outside the UK have been assessed by the European Commission and their information protection laws and procedures found to show adequate protection. Most do not. If your information has to be transferred outside the UK, then it may not have the same protections and you may not have the same rights as you would within the UK.

Chambers may transfer your personal information to the following which are located outside the United Kingdom (UK):

If Chambers decides to publish a judgment or other decision of a Court or Tribunal containing your information then may be published to the world.  

Chambers will not [otherwise] transfer personal information outside the UK [except as necessary for the conduct of any legal proceedings]. 
If you would like any further information please use the contact details at the end of this document.

How long will Chambers store your personal information? 

Chambers will normally store all your information:

  • Until at least 7 years after the expiry of any relevant limitation period, for example the date on which you leave Chambers or your employment terminates, the date of the last provision of service or goods, the date of the last payment of your tax and NIC to HMRC, the date of the last fee payment made or received or the date on which all outstanding payments are written off, whichever is the latest and for the purposes of conflict checks. This is because it may be needed for potential legal proceedings or enquiries from Government agencies such as the LAA or HMRC or CPS or instructing solicitors regarding advice on appeal or making enquiries concerning fees At this point any further retention will be reviewed and the information will be marked for deletion or marked for retention for a further period. The latter retention period is likely to occur only where the information is needed for legal proceedings, regulatory matters or active complaints. Deletion will be carried out as soon as reasonably practicable after the information is marked for deletion. Chambers and its members may on occasions need to retain data for longer periods where substantial reason can be demonstrated for doing so. Chambers and its members will regularly review all retained data and any retained for periods other than that specified in individual as well as Chambers GDPR policies will be noted specifically with the reasons for retention.
  • Equality and diversity data may be retained for a period of three years in pseudonymised form for the purpose of research and statistics and complying with regulatory obligations in relation to the reporting of equality and diversity data.
  • Names and contact details held for marketing purposes will be stored indefinitely or until Chambers becomes aware or is informed that the individual has ceased to be a potential client.
  • Personal information held for recruitment purposes or in relation to pupillage , probationary tenants or mini-pupillage will be stored for a period of three years from, for example, the date on which you leave Chambers or your employment terminates, the date of the last provision of service or goods. This is because we may receive requests for references or enquiries from Government departments concerning your employment status and records held by us. At this point any further retention will be reviewed and the information will be marked for deletion or marked for retention for a further period. The latter retention period is likely to occur only where the information is needed for legal proceedings, regulatory matters or active complaints. Deletion will be carried out as soon as reasonably practicable after the information is marked for deletion.
