Privacy Notice

Wellness for Law (“we”, “our”, “us”) take your privacy very seriously.

This Privacy Notice sets out how we use and look after the personal information we collect from you. We are the data controller, responsible for the processing of any personal data you give us. We take reasonable care to keep your information secure and to prevent any unauthorised access to or use of it.

What personal data we hold on you
Personal data means any information about an individual from which that individual can be identified.

We collect, use, store and transfer some personal data of our members.

You provide information about yourself when you register with Wellness for Law, and by filling in forms online, or by corresponding with us by e-mail or otherwise.

The information you give us may include your name, job title, chambers / work address, e-mail address and phone number.

Why we need your personal data
We will only use personal data for any purpose for which it has been specifically provided.

The reason we need members’ personal data is to be able to administer the network and provide the services you are signing up to when you register with Wellness for Law. Our lawful basis for processing your personal data is that we have a contractual obligation to you as a member to provide the services you are registering for.

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.
