1. Who we are
This website, bestfamilylawsolicitors.co.uk (“we”, “us”), is an independent comparison service. For the purposes of UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), we are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. You can contact us about anything in this policy via our contact page.
2. The data we collect
- Technical data — when you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically records standard server logs, which may include your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you visit. This is used for security and to keep the site running reliably.
- Contact data — if you email us, we receive your email address, name (if given), and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry.
- Usage data — if we use analytics, we collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors use the site, to improve our content.
We do not ask for, and you should not send us, details of your legal matter. If you contact a solicitor firm listed on this site, you deal with that firm directly and its own privacy policy applies.
3. Lawful basis
We process technical and usage data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the website. We process contact data on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry, or to take steps you have requested.
4. Cookies and third-party content
This site does not set any cookies of its own. We use no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no tracking of your visit — which is why you won’t see a cookie banner here.
This website does, however, embed content from third parties which may set cookies or receive technical data (such as your IP address) when pages load:
- Google Maps — our city pages embed interactive maps served by Google.
- Google Fonts — our typefaces are served from Google’s font service.
These services are operated by Google LLC, whose processing is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can limit cookies through your browser settings.
5. Sharing and transfers
We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal data with the solicitor firms we list. Data may be processed by our service providers (such as web hosting and email providers) solely on our behalf and under appropriate safeguards.
6. Retention
Server logs are retained for a short period for security purposes. Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted.
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have rights to access, rectify, and erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability where applicable. To exercise any right, contact us. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
