Protection Privacy Policy
Introduction
This
policy sets out the different areas where your privacy is concerned.
Information
collection and use
How do we collect
information?
Dale
Stevens LLP only collects information in one way: when you directly give it to
us (“Directly Provided Data (information)”).
When
you purchase our services or communicate with us, we will request certain
information from you in order to be able to provide the services that we are
contracted to provide. All this information requires a direct action by you at
that time in order for us to receive it.
How
long do we keep your information for?
Dale
Stevens LLP will not retain your personal information longer than necessary.
We
will hold onto the information you provide for as long as is necessary in order
to provide contracted services to you.
If
legally required or if it is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory
requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce the terms
of business as contained in our engagement letter, we may also retain some of
your information for a limited period of time as required, even after you have
closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.
In
either event, we will destroy and delete all your personal information six
years after the end of the year in respect of which we last perform contracted
services.
Use
of information
We
only use the personal information collected from you in order to provide the
contracted services. We do not use the personal information for any other
purpose.
In
particular, under no circumstances whatsoever would Dale Stevens LLP sell or
rent your personally identifiable information, gathered as a result of providing
contracted services or for any other purpose, to anyone.
Choosing
how we use your information
We
understand that you trust us with your personal information and we are
committed to ensuring you can manage the privacy and security of your personal
information.
With
respect to the information relating to you that ends up in our possession, and
recognising that it is your choice to provide us with your personally
identifiable information, we commit to giving you the ability to do all of the
following:
You may verify the
details you have submitted to Dale Stevens LLP by contacting law@dalestevens.com
You can also contact us
by the same method to change, correct, or delete your personal information controlled
by Dale Stevens LLP at any time.
Should you contact us to
request that we delete your personal information, we may retain archived copies
of your information as required by law or in order for us to comply with our
regulatory obligations.
You may request a
readable copy of the personal information we hold on you at any time. To do
this, please contact us as above.
Please note, we are
constantly reviewing how we process and protect information. Therefore, changes
to our policy may occur at any time. We will endeavour to publicise any
changes.
