Privacy Policy

About this policy

This policy explains how Northstar Advocates & Legal Consultants (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects personal information submitted through this website. It applies to information you provide when you contact us or submit a consultation enquiry.

Information we collect

When you submit an enquiry, we may collect:

• Your name, email address, and, if you provide it, your phone number
• Whether you are enquiring as an individual or on behalf of a business
• The practice area and a brief description of your matter
• Your preferred contact method and consultation time

We ask that you do not include confidential documents, passwords, financial account details, or sensitive personal information in the enquiry form. Where we need such information, we will explain how to provide it securely.

Our hosting provider may also process limited technical information, such as IP addresses and browser details, to deliver and secure the website.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

• Review and respond to your enquiry
• Carry out conflict checks before accepting an engagement
• Contact you about arranging a consultation
• Maintain appropriate records and meet our professional obligations

We do not use enquiry information for marketing without your separate consent.

Sharing your information

We do not sell personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us operate this website and manage enquiries (for example, hosting or email providers), subject to appropriate safeguards, or where we are required to do so by law.

How long we keep information

We keep enquiry information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. If we do not proceed with an engagement, we aim to delete or anonymise enquiry information within a defined period. Retention period to be confirmed.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, which is one reason we ask you not to send sensitive information through the enquiry form.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.
