Article 2
Categories of data
Identification and contact details, matter information you provide during intake (which may include special category data under UK GDPR Article 9 and criminal-offence data under Article 10 where legal matters make this unavoidable), communications, uploaded documents, payment metadata, KYC/AML identity-verification records and technical logs necessary to secure and operate the service.
Article 3
Purposes and lawful basis
We process personal data to perform the contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b)), to comply with legal and regulatory obligations including AML (Art. 6(1)(c)), on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating the platform securely and preventing fraud (Art. 6(1)(f)), and — where applicable — on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 9(2)(a)). Special-category and criminal-offence data are processed only where a specific Article 9 or Article 10 condition applies (typically legal claims or explicit consent).

The intake includes an AI-guided interview that generates a structured transcript reviewed by a human. Your data is not used to train third-party AI models and is retained only for the operation of your matter and applicable legal record-keeping.

Recipients and processors
Data is shared with the authorised professional instructed on your matter, with regulated payment providers, with hosting and infrastructure providers, and with other service providers that support the platform under written data-processing agreements. Personal data is not sold.
Article 6
International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, appropriate safeguards are used, including the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, together with additional technical measures where required.
Article 7
Retention
Records are retained for the duration required by professional rules and applicable limitation periods (typically 6 years from the end of the matter for legal records; shorter for marketing and technical logs), then deleted or anonymised. Payment records follow statutory tax-record periods.
Article 8
Your rights
You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection under UK GDPR, and the right to withdraw any consent at any time (without affecting prior processing). You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

KYC/AML and identity verification
Where a matter requires client due diligence, identity documents and verification results are collected and retained under applicable AML legislation. These records are held separately with restricted access and are not used for marketing.
