Privacy Policy

This website is administered by Arc Legal Assistance. The primary purpose of arclegal.co.uk is to be a dynamic resource and business tool. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are thus committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so.
The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit.

What information do we gather?

Information on legalim.co.uk is gathered in two ways:

  1. Indirectly (for example, through our site's technology); and
  2. directly (for example, if you fill in a form or transact business electronically online).

One example of information we collect indirectly is through our internet access logs. When you access legalim.co.uk your Internet address is automatically collected and placed in our internet access logs.

We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files which save and retrieve information about your visit to legalim.co.uk - for example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use merely identify you as a number. However, if you are uncomfortable regarding the use of cookies, please keep in mind that you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in the preferences or options menu in your browser.

How do we use this information?

We analyse all information produced from the site to determine what is most effective about our online presence, in order to help us identify ways to improve it. We may also use data for other purposes. However, we would inform you of this at the point we collect the information.

Will we share information with outside parties?

We will not sell individual information. It is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide information, however if using our online forms we do have mandatory fields that we ask you to complete in order to gather enough information to begin processing your business.

What about sensitive personal data?

We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through this site. If we do seek to collect such data we will ask you to consent to our proposed uses of such information. We may also collect some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in this notice. The references to "sensitive personal data" are to the various categories of personal data identified by European and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment. In some circumstances this includes the need to obtain explicit consent. These categories comprise personal identity numbers; personal data about personality and private life; racial or ethnic origin; nationality; convictions; memberships of political parties or movements; religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs; trade union membership; physical and mental health or handicap; genetic code; addictions; gender; sexual life (including sexual orientation); pregnancy; property matters; or penal or criminal conviction or record (including where a pardon has been granted).

While we take steps to maintain the security of legalim.co.uk, you should understand that the open nature of the internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.

In conclusion we are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please contact us.
