Information and purpose

What we collect and why

Eglinton Barrister handles personal data for legal and financial consulting enquiries and services. Please share only what is needed to explain your enquiry. Avoid sending sensitive documents through an ordinary website message unless we ask for them.

Enquiry details

Contact form submissions may include your name, email address, telephone number, organisation and the information you choose to include. We use this to answer you and, if requested, discuss possible work. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests, or steps taken at your request before a contract.

Calls and messages

Phone and email enquiries can include your contact details, the subject of your enquiry and notes needed for follow-up. We use these details for enquiry handling and record keeping, based on legitimate interests or the steps needed to provide an agreed service.

Service records

If you become a client, we may hold contact, business and matter information needed to deliver the work, manage our relationship and meet legal or professional duties. The basis depends on the work and may be contract, legal obligation or legitimate interests.

Site activity

Basic analytics may record pages viewed, approximate device and browser information, and online identifiers. Where consent is required, we ask before setting non-essential analytics cookies. You can change cookie choices through your browser settings at any time.

“We ask for the details needed to respond, keep them for a stated purpose, and explain how you can exercise your rights.”
