Special category data
Immigration enquiries can involve nationality, health, family circumstances or domestic abuse. We only ask for what the route requires, and we process that information to provide legal advice or because it is necessary for the establishment or defence of legal claims.
Who we share it with
- Our email and file storage providers, acting as processors under written terms.
- The Home Office, UKVCAS and test providers, where you instruct us to submit an application.
- Barristers, translators or experts, only where your matter requires them and you have been told.
- Our insurers and regulators, where required by law or to handle a complaint.
We do not transfer personal data outside the UK except where a processor's infrastructure requires it under an adequacy decision or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not become instructions: 12 months, then deleted.
- Client files: 7 years after the matter closes, in line with Limitation Act and regulatory expectations, then securely destroyed.
- Accounting and anti-money-laundering records: 5 years after the end of the relationship.
