This Privacy Policy explains how Cheese Tree Legal handles personal data in connection with its website and related legal services for companies. It applies to visitors, prospective clients, and other individuals who interact with us through the site or related communications.
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, assess and provide legal services, manage client and business relationships, operate and secure the website, maintain records, process payments where applicable, comply with legal obligations, and improve our services and communications. We may also use data to detect misuse, resolve disputes, and support internal administration.
We may share personal data with professional advisers, hosting and IT providers, analytics services, payment or administrative processors, and other vendors that support our operations. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide to us and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may disclose personal data where required to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, or support the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. We may also share information where disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, security incidents, or other unlawful activity.
We may collect identification details, contact information, company or matter-related information, correspondence, billing or payment records where relevant, and technical data such as device, browser, and usage information. In a legal services context, this may also include information provided in enquiries, document submissions, and client onboarding materials.
We collect personal data directly from users when they submit forms, send messages, request services, or provide documents. We also receive data through website interactions, cookies and similar technologies, and from service providers or other third parties involved in delivering or supporting our services.
Our site may use essential cookies to support core functions, functional cookies to remember preferences, and analytics cookies to understand site use and improve performance. We do not rely on cookies for purposes beyond those described in this policy without a lawful basis where required.
You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, site-level preference tools. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality, performance, or the availability of certain features.
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion in appropriate circumstances. You may also object to certain processing or ask us to restrict use where those rights apply.
To make a rights request, provide enough information for us to identify you and understand the request. We may need to verify your identity and may decline or limit a request where the law permits or requires us to do so.
We retain personal data for the period needed to provide services, manage records, resolve disputes, meet legal and regulatory obligations, and support legitimate business needs. When data is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with our retention practices.
If we make material changes, we will update the policy on this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version will apply from the date it is posted unless a different effective date is stated.
