This privacy policy sets out the way in which we handle your personal information, which is collected through our website and other services.

For the purposes of this policy, the terms ‘I’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ mean Jones Gough LLP.

Your Information

During the use of our website, whilst using our services and during communications with yourself, we will collect from you personal information.

The term ‘sensitive and personal information’ relates to:

  • racial and ethnic origin;
  • membership of political parties or movements;
  • other such sensitive topics.

If you provide us with information with regards to another party, we accept the information on the basis that you have their permission to disclose the information and can confirm that all liability with regard to that disclosure to ourselves shall remain with you.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We take the issue of security seriously.

We have implemented steps to ensure that all information is stored securely and have in place processes and back-ups which prevent the accidental destruction, loss or unauthorised disclosure of your information.

We may disclose your personal information to our agents, service providers and other persons we feel will be able to assist in a solution to your legal problem.

We may provide your information to credit reference agencies, the police, government departments and other parties, to assist in the prevention of any crime.
