Information provided to us in connection with legal matters may be subject to professional confidentiality, legal privilege or other protections under applicable law.

Submitting information through this website does not, by itself, create a solicitor-client relationship between you and The Royal Partners.

You should not submit highly confidential, privileged or time-sensitive information through a general website enquiry channel unless we have specifically requested that you do so.

We do not sell your personal information.

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary and lawful, including to:

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are maintained.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore exercise appropriate caution when transmitting personal information through the internet.

Our website is primarily intended to provide information about The Royal Partners and our legal services. The website may use limited technical functionality necessary for its operation, security and proper display.

Where cookies or similar technologies are used in a manner that involves the processing of personal information, we will provide appropriate information and, where required by law, obtain the necessary consent.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and social media platforms. These third-party platforms operate independently from The Royal Partners and may have their own privacy policies and terms of use.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites or platforms. We encourage you to review their applicable privacy policies before providing personal information.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing legal services, maintaining appropriate professional and business records, complying with legal obligations and protecting our legal rights.

The period for which information is retained may vary depending on its nature and the circumstances in which it was collected.

Subject to applicable law and relevant limitations, you may have rights to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.

Our website is not specifically directed at children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children except where permitted or required by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal obligations or privacy practices.

Any updated version will be published on this website together with the applicable effective or updated date.
