How will we use the information about you?

We collect and work with personal data. Personal data is information that can be used to identify a living individual, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, postcodes, customer and client records, details of enquiries, IP addresses, location data, online identifiers, pictures or other biometric data, service records, attendance lists, minutes of meetings, mailing lists, bank account details and other financial records.

We need to collect and use personal data to provide services and products, to fulfil our charitable objectives, to run the organisation efficiently and effectively, to meet our legal obligations, to contract with individuals and organisations, and to fundraise and generate income for our work. We only collect personal data that we need. If we need your consent to collect or use your personal data, we will ensure that we have this consent from you. We will do our best to keep personal information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures.

We will never give personal data to third parties, with the following exceptions:

• Where you have given us your consent to share your personal data, for example to get help or support from another organisation.

• To further the legitimate interests of Bari Law Associates and our members and customers, for example: improving a service that we provide; developing a new service or product; letting our members know about a service you provide, or processing the personal data of third parties in the course of carrying out consultancy work.

• Where we use third party organisations to process your personal data on our behalf, for example organisations that provide us with cloud-based ICT services.

• Where we need to process your data to carry out a public task: this relates to our role as Competent Authority for the Insolvency Service in maintaining a register of Approved Intermediaries for Debt Relief Orders.

• Where we have legal obligations, for example, our legal obligations to prevent terrorism and money laundering, or to provide personal data to HMRC.

• In a life or death situation where we need to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, for example if you needed urgent medical assistance and were unable to give your consent to us seeking such assistance on your behalf.

• Where we have reasonable grounds for believing that not sharing personal information will result in serious harm to you or a third party, in line with our confidentiality policy and legitimate charitable purposes.

• Where we judge that sharing personal information is justified for the prevention of crime, in line with our confidentiality policy and legitimate charitable purposes.

We keep your personal information only for as long as it is necessary, and for compliance purposes (standard retention schedule 6-8 years). In some circumstances, we may be legally required to retain your personal information for longer e.g. Insurance / legal issue or audit purposes. Where your information is no longer required, we will ensure it is disposed of in a secure manner.

We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
