Information collection and use

Accord Legal Services is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from those disclosed in this policy. Accord Legal Services collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

Your email and contact details

If you use our email signup form, your personal email address will be stored in our email applications. Your email address will only be used for communication between ourselves and you.

Email addresses will not be passed to any third parties. Your email address and any associated contact details delivered by email may be stored on our secure customer relations management system for our internal use should you choose to allow this; if you do not, your personal details will not be stored. You have the right to be forgotten; if you wish, you may request a copy of the information we have relating to you. You may also request that this information be deleted.

Sending documents to Accord Legal Services

If you use your email account to send us documents or images relating to a possible project, rest assured that we treat all documents with the strictest of confidence. All information will be used only by Accord Legal Services to analyse potential projects. If we no longer need the documents you send us, they will be safely deleted from our systems. Accord Legal Services are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or other legal document if required.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.

All of our employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected.

Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

Sharing

Accord Legal Services will, under no circumstances, share with any third party individual IP addresses, email addresses, personal contact details or other information collected through this website or related statistic tracking systems. If information sharing is required, such as to bring in a third party in a project for example, you will be given immediate notice.

External links

This web site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Notification of changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page immediately so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Our privacy policy was last updated in May 2018.
