Data collection and cookies
How information is collected, used, and managed
This section outlines the categories of personal data collected, where that information comes from, the cookies used across the site, and the controls available to users.
Data We Collect
We may collect identifiers and contact details, inquiry content, service preferences, account or transaction records if applicable, device and browser information, and usage data such as pages viewed and interaction patterns. In a legal services context, this may also include information you choose to provide about your circumstances, instructions, or matters of interest.
Sources of Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you submit forms, send messages, or otherwise interact with the site. We also receive data from your browser or device, and we may generate internal records from your use of our pages, communications, and service administration activities.
Types of Cookies
We may use essential cookies to support core site functions, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookies may be session-based or persistent, depending on their purpose. Similar technologies may be used for comparable functions.
Cookie Controls
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, site controls. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality, including form submission, preference storage, and basic performance features. We do not rely on cookie settings as a substitute for other lawful processing notices.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to operate and secure the site, respond to enquiries, manage communications, maintain records, improve content and functionality, monitor performance, detect misuse, and comply with legal obligations. Where relevant, we also use data to assess and handle requests related to our legal services for retirees.
Service Providers and Partners
We may share personal data with hosting, security, analytics, communications, and administrative service providers that support the operation of the site. We may also share information with professional advisers and other business partners where needed to manage enquiries, maintain systems, or complete internal operations under confidentiality obligations.
Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal data to courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other authorities when required to comply with law, legal process, or a binding request. We may also share information to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of our users, the site, or our business.
Your Rights
Subject to legal limits, you may ask to access, correct, or update personal data we hold about you, and you may object to certain uses where permitted. If we rely on your consent for a specific processing activity, you may withdraw it for future processing.
How to Make a Request
To make a rights request, provide enough information for us to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. We may need additional details before responding, and we may decline a request where the law allows or requires us to do so.
Retention of Data
We retain personal data for the period needed to provide the site, handle enquiries, maintain records, resolve disputes, and meet legal, accounting, or security obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymise it, or restrict it so it is no longer actively used.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes, we will update the notice on this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version takes effect when posted unless a different effective date is stated.
